Researcher
Dr. Tijn Fleuren is a researcher and teacher at the Department of Econometrics and Operations Research within the Tilburg School of Economics and Management (TiSEM) at Tilburg University. His work focuses on optimizing production-inventory systems under uncertainty, with applications in high-tech, low-volume manufacturing supply chains. Institution: Tilburg University School: Tilburg School of Economics and Management Department: Department of Econometrics and Operations Research Email: T.W.A.Fleuren@tilburguniversity.edu ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0925-6892 Office: Koopmans Building, Room K 423, Warandelaan 2, 5037 AB Tilburg, Netherlands His research lies at the intersection of operations research and supply chain management, with a strong emphasis on stochastic modeling, risk-aware decision-making, and integrated planning under uncertainty. Key themes include production-inventory optimization, customer portfolio selection, procurement planning, and dynamic supply chain configurations. His work often addresses real-world challenges in collaboration with industry leaders like ASML. The recent publications demonstrate a consistent focus on advanced optimization techniques applied to complex supply chain environments. These include multi-stage stochastic programming, conic quadratic programming heuristics, sampling-based methods, and deep reinforcement learning. The research spans both theoretical contributions—such as optimality conditions and bounds—and practical applicability, particularly in high-tech sectors with long lead times and customization requirements. Dr. Fleuren completed his doctoral studies at Tilburg University in January 2025, contributing significantly to the field through his dissertation on stochastic approaches in production-inventory planning. While no formal scientific awards are listed, his research outputs have been published in top-tier journals such as International Journal of Production Economics and Omega–International Journal of Management Science . He is actively involved in teaching courses such as Supply Chain Analytics and Introduction to Data Analysis. As a recent PhD graduate, he may be mentoring students informally, though no formal advisees are listed. His research has been supported through collaboration with industrial partners and academic grants, likely via CentER and the Operations Research Center at Tilburg University. Dr. Fleuren is affiliated with the Operations Research Center at TiSEM, where he contributes to a vibrant research environment focused on quantitative methods in economics and management. His ongoing work continues to advance methodologies for decision-making under uncertainty in complex, real-world supply chains.
