PhD Candidate in Smart logistics for efficient fabrication of offshore wind farms - Trondheim, Norge - Norwegian University of Science and Technology
Beskrivelse
About the job
The offshore wind industry presents a significant opportunity for Norwegian shipyards to contribute to the green transition. To further strengthen offshore wind as a sustainable source of energy, efficient fabrication and assembly of massive wind turbine substructures will be crucial. However, the yards' traditional one-of-a-kind production struggles to meet this demand. The challenge lies in balancing the unique engineering needs of each wind farm project with the need for cost-effective mass production. A critical knowledge gap exists in planning and controlling the fabrication of "engineer-to-order" substructures, culminating in the complete wind turbine assembly. This position will bridge this gap by exploring the application of logistics methods and digital technologies developed to improve synchronization and efficiency across the entire value chain.
The Production Management research group at NTNU's Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering is internationally leading in research within engineer-to-order manufacturing and the purpose of this PhD position is to expand its scope to off-shore wind substructure fabrication. Your research will be closely integrated with the group's research in other engineer-to-order sectors, such as shipbuilding and maritime equipment manufacturing, for synergy effects, transfer of knowledge, and mutual stimulation.
You will contribute to the development of planning and control processes and decisions support for efficient configuration, organization, and coordination of fabrication and assembly at yards. This will significantly contribute to the growth and competitiveness of the Norwegian offshore wind industry, ultimately accelerating the green energy transition.
For a position as a PhD Candidate, the goal is a completed doctoral education up to an obtained doctoral degree.
You will be supervised by Professor Erlend Alfnes
