LUISA FERNANDA JIM�NEZ RAMÍREZ

I’m an Industrial Engineering professional in the final semester of an MSc in Decision-Making Analytics at the University of Antioquia (Medellín, Colombia). I’m energized by turning data into decisions, especially where uncertainty, forecasting, and optimization matter.

Through the scholarship-supported path where the university pays my master’s tuition and I teach, I serve as a Student Instructor for Stochastic Processes and Decision Analysis. That experience strengthened my ability to explain complex methods clearly and apply them with rigor.

In my work at Nutresa Alimentos Cárnicos, I model and optimize supply chain performance using analytical techniques, statistical methods, and modeling tools. I handle data collection and analysis, supply chain modeling, optimization, scenario analysis, and forecasting to improve how processes perform under different conditions.

My research complements that applied focus: with MITACS and university projects, I proposed an optimization model in Python for a closed-loop network for remanufacturing second-hand systems. I’ve also contributed to circular economy research and related publications and conference presentations, bringing evidence-based thinking from research into practical decision support.
