Research Challenge

Organized in collaboration with ASML, the ASML Production-Inventory Planning Research Challenge offers an exciting opportunity for researchers and practitioners to dive into complex, practice-driven inventory management problems. 

This challenge invites participants to design innovative production-inventory policies that meet customer demand while minimizing total supply chain costs. The solutions developed will address real-world planning issues critical to ASML’s operational success. 

With a chance to win prize money, contribute to impactful research, and see your work published in the International Journal of Production Economics, this challenge is perfect for those eager to make a difference in the field.
