Forschung und Praxis im Operations Management für eine erfolgreiche Zukunft

Operations Management deals with the planning, control and optimization of processes required for the production and distribution of products and services. At the Chair of Operations Management, we use innovative methods of mathematical optimization in particular to efficiently solve complex planning tasks in production and logistics. In our teaching as well as in research and practical projects, we combine current scientific findings with the real challenges of practice.

In an effort to help make better decisions, the "Center of Operations Research and Business Analytics" (CORBA) was founded together with researchers from other application-oriented chairs. We are happy to be a part of it.

New publications in EJOR

New publication in European Journal of Operational Research

We are pleased to announce a new high-ranking publication with the participation of Janis Neufeld in the European Journal of Operational Research! In our study entitled Minimizing Makespan and Total Tardiness for the Flowshop Group Scheduling Problem with Sequence Dependent Setup Times, we investigate the interactions between the two objectives of minimizing tardiness and makespan in a scheduling problem and part families.

Merry christmas and Happy new year

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from the team at the Chair of Operations Management

To celebrate the end of the year 2024 and the successful reorganization of the Chair of Operations Management, we locked ourselves in an escape room together in full team strength.

Thanks to teamwork, we were even able to escape the room faster than the specified time. Although we weren't able to optimize all the processes in the room, it was still a lot of fun.

Three new publications of the chair

We are pleased about three new publications that have recently appeared with the participation of our chair!

In collaboration with Tristan Becker and Udo Buscher (both TU Dresden), the article “The distributed flow store scheduling problem with inter-factory transportation” (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejor.2024.10.026) was published in the renowned European Journa…
