Erica Pastore

Erica Pastore is a Fixed-term Researcher in the Department of Management and Production Engineering (DIGEP) at Politecnico di Torino, affiliated with the College of Management and Production Engineering. Her work spans mathematical modeling, production planning, and simulation optimization within industrial engineering contexts.

• Teaching roles: Course Lecturer (2024/25, Management and Production Engineering), Course Collaborator (2025/26, Management Engineering)
• Sciences: Production Systems, Manufacturing Technologies, Sustainable Operations

Her research focuses on mathematical modeling for production planning and optimization, examining variability propagation in manufacturing systems, additive manufacturing time estimation, and circular economy strategies at scheduling levels. Publications address flow line optimization, parallel batching, and healthcare logistics through simulation and analytical modeling.

Recent work trends include flow time minimization (2025), additive manufacturing scheduling (2024), idle time reduction (2023), and urban logistics (2022).

She has collaborated on 15+ publications since 2012, working with colleagues like Arianna Alfieri, Claudio Castiglione, and Barbara Previtali across production optimization, healthcare systems, and logistics.
