Congratulations to the PolyU team, comprising our LMS students supervised by Dr Jacky Hau and Dr Patrick Tsang, has been crowned Champion at the CILTHK Student Day 2026 Case Study Competition. Organised by The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport in Hong Kong (CILTHK), this prestigious annual event challenges students from across various institutions in Hong Kong and Macau to solve complex, real-world logistics scenarios.
Our dedicated winning team members are:
Miss Chen Xinyi (BBA-SCMA), Miss Feng Shihan (BBA-Scheme Year 1), Miss He Jiani (BBA-SCMA), Mr Ho Tung-lung (BBA-ISTL) and Tan Huiya (BBA-AMF)
The team tackled a complex topic: “How should e-commerce 3PLs and distribution center operators evaluate and select optimal warehouse automation technologies (AMRs, AS/RS, goods-to-person systems, layer picking) to optimize lead times, picker productivity, and labor retention while scaling for peak-season throughput? What TCO trade-offs and SLAs should guide these decisions?” Confronted with a challenging research case, the team developed a comprehensive proposal and delivered an impressive presentation within a tight timeframe. Their professionalism and teamwork shone during the live presentation and Q&A with the judges.
Reflecting on their journey, the team shared, “While our coursework provided a solid theoretical foundation, this competition offered a unique platform for practical application. Engaging with industry leaders deepened our understanding of the emerging technologies—such as drone delivery and automation—that are currently transforming the Greater Bay Area. This victory has reinforced our passion for the promise of Hong Kong’s logistics sector.”
We congratulate our students on this remarkable achievement, which showcases their academic excellence and collaborative spirit. Their success serves as an inspiration to their peers and a testament to the high standards of field in logistics.
