Rob Broekmeulen is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Operations, Planning, Accounting Control at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). His research interests encompass various aspects of operations management, particularly within retail supply chains focusing on perishable goods. His expertise includes retail operations management, food production, and inventory control, as well as warehouse management. Notably, he has developed innovative concepts that utilize excess shelf space to alleviate workload in retail supply chains. One of his significant contributions is the Estimated Withdrawal & Aging (EWA) inventory control policy for perishables. This policy enables retailers to order the appropriate quantities at the right times to achieve target service levels while minimizing waste. The ongoing challenge for retailers is to provide an expanding variety of products in a cost-effective and sustainable manner. Through the development of new concepts and algorithms, Broekmeulen aims to reduce waste and enhance operational efficiency.
