Optimization of operational processes

Production planning and control, supply chain management and related logistics issues are the focus of research at the Chair of Industrial Management. For the problems we consider, it is important to identify alternative courses of action and scope for action and to make the best possible use of these in accordance with the company's objectives. To this end, we often use mathematical approaches from operations research to first model the planning task and then derive recommendations for action. However, the application of these methods is not limited to the aforementioned business management topics. The overview of current and completed projects of the chair gives a good insight into the variety of research topics at the chair:

Together with other chairs at TU Chemnitz, TU Freiberg and TU Dresden that conduct research in the field of production and logistics, we regularly organize the "Saxon Doctoral Workshop on Production and Logistics". We also meet annually with colleagues from the FU Berlin, Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg, the European University Viadrina Frankfurt (Oder) and TU Dresden as part of the "OR Workshop". Both offers enable an intensive and profitable exchange on current research topics of our doctoral students.
