Anna Fredriksson is Professor at the KTS department Linköping University. She belongs to the Construction logistics group. Anna has three main research areas of interest: construction logistics, tactical planning (S&OP) and supply chain planning, and production transfer.
The construction industry is in great need of improving their logistics to increase their productivity and decrease their environmental impact and disturbances on the society in vicinity of projects. Though, researching this subject it is important to both consider the impact of construction logistics on the urban development as well as how the urban planning process creates prerequisites for efficient and effective construction logistics. Furthermore, one of the most impacting material flows within construction is earth and rock masses, where improved logistics can help to decrease emissions and improve circularity. Also the importance of data to improve construction logistics should not be forgotten as construction industry is among the least digitalized industries. Within these areas Anna has been part of and running a number of different research projects such as the Vinnova financed UDI-projects RePlan and Digiplan, the JPI-urban financed projects MIMIC and CIVIC, the Triple F financed projects Fossilfri Bygglogistik and Fossilfri Bygglogistik 2.0 and the Vinnova financed project Logistikdatalabbet, Störningsfri stad and its Formas financed continuation Störningsfri stad 2.0, the FFI financed ELECTRA and projects financed by InfraSweden 2030 and Energimyndigheten about Mass Logistics Centers.
Within the area of production transfer Anna’s research interests are knowledge transfer, start-up of production and risk management during transfer.
Anna is associate editor of Journal of Manufacturing Technology Management.
Anna is also examiner of the courses TNK114 Logistics in Supply Chains and TNG042 Scientific methods within logistics.
