Beykoz University team focused on supply chain optimization in the first stage of the competition. Students analyzed their data in detail and determined which processes require more energy and resources through mathematical function calculations. The team optimized the production and distribution processes in line with these analyses and developed strategic scenarios for the future, taking into account the seasonal demand structure of the company. In the final, they aim to develop the most appropriate optimization strategies with the same approach and offer sustainable and applicable solutions in the field of logistics and supply chain management.
Approximately 1000 students applied to the competition, which aims to improve students' competencies in the field of logistics and get to know the sector closely with its renewed format. In the competition organized in two categories, students formed teams of three to solve real logistics cases and developed comprehensive analyses and solution proposals.
Students who will compete in the final stage will have the opportunity to meet with the jury consisting of Mars Logistics executives and experienced names of the sector. In addition to cash prizes, the winning teams will have the chance to get to know the sector closely by participating in the “1 Week at Mars” program.
