Operations and Supply Chain Management
We develop methods for an efficient and sustainable utilisation of resources and activities in companies from the strategic to operational levels.
Effective planning of resources and activities is essential for industry and service companies spanning from strategic to operational levels.
In the Operations and Supply Chain Management Section, we use quantitative methods such as simulation theory, mathematical optimisation and the use of information technology to develop methods for an efficient and sustainable use of resources. Furthermore, qualitative methodologies such as process optimisation are employed to support research within efficient planning and management across the supply chain.
The core research areas of operations and supply chain management include supply chain management, customisation, modularisation and product configuration systems, design of production systems and production and planning control.
Our research targets a broad spectrum of industrial and service sectors, including manufacturing, services, transportation and health care.
We place a special emphasis on digitalisation, analytics and Industry 4.0 to further strengthen our efforts further in applying quantitative and qualitative methods to improve decision support across the entire supply chain.
