The Procurement and Supply of hospital isolation gowns (IGs) pose significant challenges, including the potential for sudden increases in demand, the necessity of maintaining high-quality gowns, and the complexity of the supply process. One potential solution to these challenges is the investment in reusable IGs, which may seem financially infeasible due to their initial purchasing price. However, it can provide long-term financial and environmental benefits. In this research, a Simulation Optimization (SO) framework is utilized to model and analyze various product portfolio selection strategies, considering both financial and environmental perspectives, and to determine the optimal strategy for meeting both financial and environmental objectives. The proposed strategy is implemented to the problem based on obtained Life Cycle Assessment and market data.
This article analyzes how a city can generate instrumental, intrinsic, and institutional value from its event-related networks and platforms, based on the Hieronymus Bosch 500 program in the Dutch city of ‘s-Hertogenbosch (Den Bosch). Interviews with key stakeholders traced program dynamics over more than a decade to reveal processes of network and platform development, encapsulated in a conceptual model of strategic value creation. The results indicate that networks served to generate flows of resources, while programming helped develop platforms for knowledge generation and dissemination, helping to focus attention on the city. The Bosch 500 Foundation managing the program played an effective role in developing and supporting networks, which in turn generated significant short-term instrumental and intrinsic value. However, the failure to establish a sustainable city-wide platform related to the Bosch program caused institutional value destruction, which many saw as a missed opportunity. The study of networks and platforms can benefit from a longitudinal approach as well as a broader, contextual view of event networks.

De COVID-19-pandemie heeft grote impact gehad op het praktijkgericht onderzoek van Saxion. Allereerst vanwege de tijdelijke sluiting van laboratoria, verandering van empirische dataverzameling, acute acties zoals het produceren van mondkapjes en het ondersteunen van mkb’s met andere businessmodellen. Op de langere termijn leidt het tot verandering in thematisering, zoals capaciteit in de zorg; menselijke interactie met technologie; bezettingsgraad van gebouwen, openbaar vervoer, stadions en openbare ruimten; en impact van een anderhalvemetersamenleving. Dit alles in een periode van enorme dynamiek en stroomversnelling in het onderzoekslandschap. Saxion wordt erkend als een serieuze partner in grote ontwikkelingen in de Nederlandse en Europese kennisinfrastructuur. Denk hierbij aan topsectoren, de Kennis & Innovatie Agenda’s, het Nationaal groeifonds, NWA, Regio Deals, de derde cyclus aan hogescholen, alsook de European Research Area, Horizon Europe en de Green Deals. Ter illustratie: Saxion participeert in Grozzerdam Deventer; in de regionale Groeifonds-hubs voor Artificial Intelligence en MedTech; in TOPFIT; in het Regiodeal lab Texplus voor kledingrecycling; in SPRONG-aanvragen; in de EU-RRF investeringsagenda; in de KIA governancestructuren; etc. Om onze rol en ambities in deze grote en complexe kenniscoalities waar te kunnen maken professionaliseert Saxion het praktijkgericht onderzoek. Saxion investeert in extra onderzoeksvolume en ondersteuningsinfrastructuur om snel in te kunnen spelen op actuele vraagstukken en behoeften van het bedrijfsleven, overheden en instellingen in de regio, zowel nationaal als internationaal. Saxion gaat de Impuls 2020-regeling dan ook inzetten om de eigen investeringsagenda te versnellen via vier strategische instrumenten: 1. Versterking van de capaciteit voor ondersteuning en projectmanagement 2. Acquisitievouchers voor het schrijven van grote complexe onderzoekaanvragen 3. Versterking van het Saxion-portfolio van Centres of Expertise 4. Ontwikkeling van pilots in de derde cyclus (Professional Doctorate)
The postdoc candidate, Sondos Saad, will strengthen connections between research groups Asset Management(AM), Data Science(DS) and Civil Engineering bachelor programme(CE) of HZ. The proposed research aims at deepening the knowledge about the complex multidisciplinary performance deterioration prediction of turbomachinery to optimize cleaning costs, decrease failure risk and promote the efficient use of water &energy resources. It targets the key challenges faced by industries, oil &gas refineries, utility companies in the adoption of circular maintenance. The study of AM is already part of CE curriculum, but the ambition of this postdoc is that also AM principles are applied and visible. Therefore, from the first year of the programme, the postdoc will develop an AM material science line and will facilitate applied research experiences for students, in collaboration with engineering companies, operation &maintenance contractors and governmental bodies. Consequently, a new generation of efficient sustainability sensitive civil engineers could be trained, as the labour market requires. The subject is broad and relevant for the future of our built environment being more sustainable with less CO2 footprint, with possible connections with other fields of study, such as Engineering, Economics &Chemistry. The project is also strongly contributing to the goals of the National Science Agenda(NWA), in themes of “Circulaire economie en grondstoffenefficiëntie”,”Meten en detecteren: altijd, alles en overall” &”Smart Industry”. The final products will be a framework for data-driven AM to determine and quantify key parameters of degradation in performance for predictive AM strategies, for the application as a diagnostic decision-support toolbox for optimizing cleaning &maintenance; a portfolio of applications &examples; and a new continuous learning line about AM within CE curriculum. The postdoc will be mentored and supervised by the Lector of AM research group and by the study programme coordinator(SPC). The personnel policy and job function series of HZ facilitates the development opportunity.
