Title: Integrated production and inbound transportation planning

Matthieu Gruson, directed by professors Raf Jans and Jean-François Cordeau of the Department of Logistics and Operations Management from HEC Montréal, received the Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarship.

Drawing on his background in information technologies, businessman Alexandre Taillefer is once again applying their incredible potential, this time to revolutionize a very conventional world: the taxi industry.
