About

Aili Biriita is a PhD Candidate at the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering. Her research topic is within health and hospital logistics, with a focus on logistics in hospital laboratories. Existing research on logistics in hospital laboratories concern to a large extent lead time reductions by different methods such as e.g. Lean and automation. However, to the best of our knowledge, there is a lack of research which takes into account that hospital laboratories are highly different when it comes to service provision and organizational structure. The PhD aims at filling this gap in literature through case study oriented research in collaboration with national and international hospitals.

Aili Biriita has a master’s degree from NTNU, and graduated in June 2016. Her spesialisation is within production management and logistics. The master’s thesis concerned how the supplier can take more responsibility of the replenishment process in a supplier-retailer relationship, with focus on food waste reduction and increased profit.
