Are you a master's student with an interest in logistics and production development? Then this could be the thesis for you! SSAB Oxelösund faces challenges related to limited storage space, a large number of items in stock and restrictions on stacking and sorting (e.g. dimensions, item types). In this thesis you will have the opportunity to analyze current processes, identify improvement opportunities and provide recommendations for implementation in our production. Location Oxelösund

Becoming part of the SSAB family means joining a journey. A journey that we believe is crucial for the future of the planet and sustainability. Steel has been one of the most important materials for the development of our society and will continue to be so in the future. In our homes, in bridges connecting our cities and in the cars of tomorrow. At SSAB, we are proud of our history and our leadership in high strength steel. At the same time, we are aware that steel production is one of the industries that emits the most greenhouse gases in the world. This must change. We have therefore developed the world's first fossil-free process for steel production and are committed to becoming largely fossil-free. As part of SSAB, you will be important in realizing this goal and thus contribute to a green transition of the entire steel industry.

The assignment

Our warehouse sometimes gets very full, especially before longer production stops. In addition, the transition to fossil-free production means that duplicate items for the same product occur during a transition period, which further increases the need for storage space. In this thesis project, you will have the opportunity to analyze current processes and identify improvement opportunities that can be implemented in production. At the same time, there is a need to free up space for other parts of production. The purpose of the thesis is to analyze current warehouse processes and layout, identify improvement opportunities and develop a new warehouse layout that maximizes storage utilization without negatively impacting the FIFO principle.

Scope: 20 weeks (30 credits)

Period: Spring semester 2026

A few words from your supervisor

"My name is Nathalie Ramos Larsson and I will be the supervisor in this thesis.

My journey at SSAB began in 2008 and since 2023 I work as a development engineer in the Logistics Development department. Before I started working as a development engineer I studied logistics at Linköping University where optimization and simulation were the subjects I enjoyed the most. I am looking forward to being part of the thesis and together with my lovely colleagues I will do everything to support you."
