Big Data Analytics for Supply Chain Management and Business Models: the case of the smart thermostat

Type of project: Dissertation

Supervisor 1: Margherita Pero

Date: 16 January 2022

Email: margherita.pero@polimi.it

Authors: 1

Co-Supervisor: Sergio Tavella

Contacts: Margherita Pero

Content / Work description: Background: Literature suggests Big Data (BD) and Big Data Analytics (BDA) have high potential to improve Supply Chain Management (SCM) Processes and to enable innovative Business Models. However in some sectors still BD and BDA potential are not yet fully exploited in this sense, since the possible applications have not been studied, nor the implications in terms of benefits, costs and sustainability performance assessed. In particular, smart thermostats is an app-enabled smart home device that help managing home's cooling and heating systems. This device is collecting data (BD) but still these data are not used. Objective: Therefore, this work, developed in collaboration with Bosch, aims to provide answer to the following questions:

  • Who and how can use this data, along the supply chain home's cooling and heating systems?
  • How the SC processes and/or the Business Model should be changed to exploit the potential of these data?
  • What are the benefits and the costs, also in terms of sustainability performance, that can be reached with this innovation?
Methodology: literature review + case studies + qualitative model development. The work will be developed in collaboration with Bosch (https://www.bosch.it/).

Authors: 1

Content / Work description: The thesis will focus on the design of a distribution center for producers with multiple production plants. The topic will be investigated through a review of the scientific literature, followed  by an internship in a company producing abrasives, during which the student will be involved in the re-layout of the Italian distribution center. A high proficiency in Italian language is required for the internship. Further information provided by the company is reported as follows: Il gruppo Rosver è formato attualmente da una sede centrale a Sesto San Giovanni, con magazzino di distribuzione, e due unità produttive, a Torino e a Plovdiv (Bulgaria). Per sostenere la crescita del gruppo e ampliare la sede centrale e magazzino di Sesto San Giovanni, la Rosver ha acquistato un capannone contiguo a quello esistente, passando da 3500 a 5000 mq di superficie complessiva. La prossima fase sarà il ridisegno del layout di magazzino, per estendere l'area destinata allo stoccaggio. Cerchiamo uno stagista interessato a svolgere la propria tesi che possa partecipare a questa fase di riorganizzazione. L'output del lavoro sarà il nuovo layout del magazzino e la messa a punto di un processo per manutenere periodicamente il posizionamento della merce ed i flussi che la movimentano. Lo studente lavorerà coordinandosi con il gruppo interno (amministratore, responsabile IT e responsabile di magazzino) e con professionisti esterni. Principalmente dovrà: - Ridisegnare il posizionamento delle aree di lavoro e di stoccaggio - Operare una scelta di posizionamento delle referenze in base alla loro rotazione e alle caratteristiche fisiche e di movimentazione dei prodotti - Descrivere quanto fatto ed i criteri utilizzati, mettendo a punto un processo per manutenere periodicamente il corretto posizionamento e flusso della merce

Non solo grandi città: l'innovazione tecnologica nelle "Smart Towns" in Italia

Content / Work description: Molto spesso, il concetto di Smart City viene associato a città di grandi dimensioni in quanto ritenute più adatte e pronte a diventare hub innovativi. In realtà, in Italia si stanno sviluppando sempre più progetti smart nei centri urbani di medie e piccole dimensioni, ma c’è poca ricerca sugli effetti di questi interventi, nonostante l’impatto che possono avere sulla digitalizzazione dei servizi, sull’ambiente e sulla qualità della vita dei cittadini. L'obiettivo principale di questa tesi è dunque quello di analizzare la performance e stimare l’impatto dei progetti Smart City nei comuni italiani di piccole e medie dimensioni, applicando i criteri di valutazione internazionali utilizzati dalla letteratura per i grandi centri urbani e utilizzando i dati raccolti dall’indagine 2021 dal Tavolo di Lavoro Smart City.

Developing Effective Interventions for Gender Equality in Project Organizations

Type of project: Report

Supervisor 1: Giorgio Locatelli

Date: 7 January 2022

Email: giorgio.locatelli@polimi.it

Tutor: Sara Hajikazemi

Contacts: Giorgio Locatelli

Content / Work description: Relatore: Professor Giorgio Locatelli, Giorgio.locatelli@polimi.it Co-relatore: Dr Sara  Hajikazemi, sara.hajikazemi@lsbu.ac.uk, London South Bank University (students might be invited to spend 1-2 weeks in London to work with Dr Dr Sara  Hajikazemi)   Gender equality is a key element of sustainability representing one of 17 United Nation Sustainable development goals. Sexism in the workplace relates to the sustainable development goals 5 and 8 which “promotes sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all” (United Nations, 2021). One of the sectors which seems to be struggling with this issue is construction. Construction is a male-dominant sector thus exposing women and not Cis-male to sexism and gender bias. The consequences of gender bias and experience of everyday sexism by women working in construction project organizations have been identified as mental health and well-being related impacts, lower performance and efficacy and high retention rates. Jones et al. (2014) argue that sexism negatively impacts targeted females’ cognitive performance. The experiences of other sectors (such as health and education) show that improving opportunities for women leads to a workforce that is better informed, and to organizations which are more adaptable, closer to their customers and more responsive to market changes (Coussey and Jackson 1991).   According to a research by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), about 30% of women in construction believe that fear of sexism has held them back from pursuing senior roles (Construction News, 2017). This phenomenon is present at all organisational levels. More than half of the people working in the construction industry have witnessed or experienced sexism (Construction Manager, 2017) and despite comprising over 50% of the population, women still make up only 11% of the construction workforce; this number drops to just 1% of operatives on-site even in the UK. In addition, women in the construction industry experience different sorts of sexism including lower salaries, delay in their career and sexual harassment (Building, 2018). The fact that this phenomenon still exists demonstrates that the existing interventions are not always effective.   Although different interventions are in place for addressing gender inequality and sexism, in project organisations and particularly construction, there is no systematic analysis on which intervention works and which does not. The anecdotal information is scattered in different fields and journals. The gap this research intends to fill is understanding the effectiveness of existing interventions applied by construction project organisations. This will lead to a clear guideline and strategies on how barriers and challenges for female employees in construction organizations can be addressed and overcome.   The research questions are: RQ1: What kinds of gender equality interventions are utilized in project organisations to deal with sexism? RQ2: What kinds of gender equality interventions are effective and which are not in dealing with sexism in project organisations?   Although different interventions are in place for addressing gender inequality and sexism, in Project Based Organisations and particularly construction, there is no systematic analysis on which intervention works and which does not and the reason behind them. The anecdotal information is scattered in different fields and journals. The gap this research intends to fill is understanding the effectiveness of existing interventions applied by Project Based Organisations and the underlying reasons. This will lead to a clear guideline and strategies on how barriers and challenges for female employees in construction organizations can be addressed and overcome.

Requirements: Students should be in the major of "Complex Projects Business" or at least have the module of "Project Management" in their curricula
