About the research group

Networked Value Systems (NeVS) is a research group that brings together business and engineering to study operations and supply chain management, digital manufacturing and quality management, technology and innovation management, and sustainable energy transition. We are interested in how value networks evolve, how sustainable transformation takes place and how it is shaped by operational excellence, digitalisation, new technologies and products. Under this umbrella, research is organised around four main themes.

The research group focuses particularly on the following themes:

Operations and supply chain management
Digital manufacturing and quality management
Technology and innovation management
Sustainable Energy Transition
