Gilvan "Gil" C. Souza's Research
My research interests are in
supply chain and technology management, primarily the design and operation of
closed-loop supply chains (CLSCs). CLSCs are supply chains where there are
flows of products or components from consumers back to manufacturers. One
example is a supply chain with consumer returns (products returned within 30-90
days of the purchase). I have also pursued a long time interest in new product
introduction issues.
