Research
The research of the Chair of Production and Logistics is oriented on the design and control of manufacturing and material flow systems in industry and logistics. It is mainly quantitative and based on methods to the specific planning model, mathematical and heuristic optimization as well as simulation. Besides the theoretic research in the area of network planning and scheduling, there are application-oriented research projects that are dealt in cooperation with industry partners. Current research projects comprise planning processes in container terminals, the design of supply chain networks, the optimal scheduling with due date objectives, the vehicle routing with synchronization constraints and stock-keeping models in hospitals.
