معرفی
Ahmet BALCIOĞLU serves as Assistant Professor in the Department of Industrial Engineering at Beykent University's Faculty of Engineering and Architecture, teaching courses including Logistics Management, Industry 4.0 and Digital Transformation, Deep Learning Applications, and Production Management. His academic role follows a 28-year military career as an Officer in Turkey's Land Forces Command (1989-2017).
His educational background includes:
- Doctorate in Industrial Engineering from Maltepe University (2016-2023) with thesis “Demand-driven material requirements planning (DDMRP) - A classification-based approach for buffer parameters”
- Degree from Naval Postgraduate School (1998-2000)
- Licence from National Defense University Target War School (1989-1993)
Research focuses on logistics optimization with military-civilian crossover applications. His work bridges theoretical operations research with practical challenges in urban distribution, cold chain systems, and military deployment planning through methodologies like DDMRP and stochastic programming.
Publication trends since 2003 reveal evolving expertise: early foundational work in network interdiction (2003) progressed to military logistics (2008), then matured into contemporary urban logistics solutions (2017-2019) addressing cold chain collaboration, supplier selection, and DDMRP implementation. This trajectory demonstrates consistent application of analytical methods to complex real-world supply chain problems.
Professional memberships include Operations Research Association (YAD) since 2022 and Logistics Association (LODER) since 2018. Current teaching emphasizes digital transformation in industrial engineering through courses on Python applications and Industry 4.0.
