POMcases - Case Studies in Production and Operations Management

The German-language B.Sc. seminar Case Studies in Production and Operations Management (POMcases) deals with selected issues of sustainable production management. Learn more about how companies can align their production with the supply of renewable energy, how networks for recycling lithium-ion batteries can be designed and how powerful optimisation software helps to analyse and solve these problems. After completing the seminar, they will be optimally prepared for a Bachelor's thesis in the subject area.

Important: To take part in the respective course, the first event is mandatory, registration via Qispos/Prüfungsamt for regular students and via mail for visiting students is required at the latest for the submission of the first short quiz (portfolio examination).

General teaching content:

As a member of a team you will work on current problems from the practice of industrial production and operations management. You will develop solutions which you will implement and test with the help of state-of-the-art software tools. The procedure and results are finally documented, presented and discussed.

The group work is accompanied by lecture and practice units in which we teach you the basics of scientific work and how to use the software used. In-depth programming knowledge is not required.

An important goal of the module is to prepare you for the final thesis. We will cover not only the content and structure of scientific work but also give you the tools to work on a quantitative optimization task of your own.
