Wir bieten für unsere Bachelor Studenten ein neues Bachelor Seminar mit dem Titel "Planning approaches in modern operations management" an. Dieses Bachelor Seminar wird im Wintersemester 20/21 in englischer Sprache stattfinden.
Topics: | |
---|---|
Topic 1 | Sustainable manufacturing of products with volatile demands: Seru |
Topic 2 | 5G and 6G communication technologies in factories: Consequences for operations planning |
Topic 3 | Collaboration between humans and robots in manufacturing: Cobots |
Topic 4 | Analyzing the impact of epidemic outbreaks on global supply chains |
Maximum number of participants: 10
Description:
Operational decisions are being continuously affected by different causes. Sometimes, exogenous reasons make inevitable upheavals, the most tangible sample is the spread of COVID-19, and sometimes progress in technology provides new opportunities or challenges to rethink of and revolutionize the old-fashioned principles.
The aim of the seminar is to investigate applications of management science for present-day challenges in operations management. The seminar participants will study relevant theoretical approaches as well as their application in real-world case studies.
The language of the seminar is English. The course participants are invited to gain deep understanding of their research topic by preparing a seminar paper and presenting their findings in the final workshop of the course. All the topics will be processed in groups of two or three students. Depending on the preferences of the group, it is possible to formulate individual subtopics of the common group topic.
