The MobiLog - Mobility Laboratory, Logistics and Sustainability is a research laboratory linked to the Production Engineering Program (PEP) of Coppe / UFRJ and is coordinated by Professor Lino G. Marujo. It acts in a transdisciplinary way, from a new perspective on operations management, mobility and logistics based on the triad Collaborative Economy, Circular Economy and Digital Economy. Among the areas of expertise is the development of extended supply chains, industrial symbiosis, circular and digital business models, socio-environmental assessment based on Life Cycle Thinking methodologies, urban mobility and logistics, sustainable logistics networks, simulation and use and Big Data treatment.
The objectives of MobiLog are:
- Offer innovation to the mobility and logistics sector;
- Make logistics more efficient, productive, greener, safer;
- Transform city logistics into a pillar of sustainable socio-economic development.
It is one of several " Knowledge Hubs" that are in the spheres of activity PEP / COPPE / UFRJ. As a Knowledge Center, MobiLog - Living Lab proposes to be the link of a fragmented transport and logistics industry to innovation and best practices in sustainability in supply chains. Activities with the objective of making the transport and logistics sector in RJ and the country more productive, efficient, more sustainable and safer.
The approach guided by technology and industry practice can address points of inefficiencies, criticisms of the interfaces involved, lack of standardization and fragmented visibility of the end-to-end in transport and logistics processes. MobiLog explores new ways to orchestrate transport and logistics services through multiple service providers, modes of transport and technologies.
