Serious Thinking

“Sharing stories (…) and debating new ideas daily, whether during lunch time or during the five minutes of the coffee break, leads to the establishment of connections between us and to social and professional growth.” Cláudia Rocha (CRIIS)

We know that people from science and technology always have some kind of genius in them. If you are thinking about Einstein, we are thinking about José Carlos Sousa of the Management Information Systems Service of INESC TEC.

  • "INESC TEC has been our institutional partner since the very beginning and has played a key role in boosting the knowledge of LTP in a set of optimisation and data mining techniques. It has also supported us in some of our technologically more advanced projects."

History of the relationship between the company and INESC TEC

LTP is a spin-off of INESC TEC. Therefore, our relationship with INESC TEC dates back to the beginning of LTP, in 2014. The three founding partners, Bernardo Almada-Lobo, Pedro Amorim and Luís Guimarães, are professors at the Department of Industrial Engineering and Management of FEUP and senior researchers at INESC TEC. INESC TEC has been our institutional partner since the very beginning and has played a key role in boosting the knowledge of LTP in a set of optimisation and data mining techniques.

Statement about the projects

LTP is a management consulting company that develops and applies advanced analytical methods to support complex decision-making. Within this context, LTP developed three main projects alongside its clients. These projects had the collaboration of INESC in their most technical components of simulation and optimisation:

1. Decision support system for production scheduling in a printing factory;

2. Simulation model capable of reproducing the activity of a distribution centre for simulating the impact of different changes to the layout;

3. Definition of goods delivery windows in the stores of a food retailer.

LTP had the opportunity to collaborate with multiple researchers from CEGI in these and other projects: Elsa Silva, Fábio Moreira, Gonçalo Figueira, Horácio Neri, José Luís Borges, Manuel Pina Marques, Mário Amorim, Nicolau Santos and Pedro Campelo.

These projects with INESC TEC allowed accelerating the development of advanced analytical methods and responding to the requirements of the several challenges set by LTP’s clients. From a scientific point of view, many of these projects originated scientific articles and contributed data and problems for master and doctoral theses. All the projects with the collaboration of INESC TEC have been successfully concluded and have had very positive results.

We hope to continue this tight collaboration with INESC TEC in the future. The growth of LTP (it already has more than 20 employees) allows strengthening the relationship with INESC TEC through its extension to other centres (other than CEGI), particularly those of the Computer Science cluster.
