The research area of Industrial Engineering deals on the one hand with the basic models, methods, tools and concepts for the analysis of existing structures and on the other hand with the design, planning and implementation of efficient and effective solution approaches. The optimization of internal and inter-company processes as well as the general control and design of socio-technical systems represent further research areas.

The main areas of work are:

  • Industrial Engineering
  • Logistics management
  • Production and quality management
  • Industry 4.0 & Smart Manufacturing
  • Artificial Intelligence and Knowledge Management in Cyber-Physical Production Systems
  • Maintenance Management (Production and Maintenance Management)
