Advanced Seminar Operations & Technology Management: Methods of Advanced Analytics and Applications

What it is about

You engage with current research topics from Operations & Technology Management, specifically with intelligent orchestration, planning and decision support in networked manufacturing environments. You will learn to model problems, apply suitable algorithms (e.g., optimization, deep learning, possibly quantum computing) and develop solutions for real case studies. In the end you can independently analyze, model and present in a documented way a research or practice problem in Operations/OR/Advanced Analytics.

What you will be able to do

• Understand relevant problems and concepts in Operations Management and Operations Research
• Apply theoretical concepts to real contexts
• Create detailed case studies
• Effectively communicate insights
• Critically reflect on the practical relevance of data-driven planning and deviations between model and practice

What the module consists of

• Lecture unitsConveying theoretical foundations and research topics
• Integrated exercisesApplication and deepening of content in exercises
• Interactive discussionsDiscussion of current problems and solution approaches
• Moderated presentationsPresentation and critical discussion of project results
