Methods for Production and Operations Managements (Production and Operations Managements 3), only PO19

General information

2 ECTS, 2 SWS, Presence performance: 30 hours, Own performance: 30 hours, German, Examination number: ZFB 93431

The MPOM course is no longer offered as a separate course under PO24 and will no longer be lectured.

The content has been divided between the POM1 (Supply Chain Management) and POM2 (Plant and Energy Management) courses, which are now worth 5 ECTS credits under PO24 (instead of 4 ECTS credits under PO19).

MPOM can be taken by students under PO19 until summer term 2026 if both other courses (POM1 + POM2) are completed.

If you would like to study MPOM, an individual consultation with jonas.wesseling@uni-due.de is required.

Description

In this exercise, which enhances the lectures Supply Chain Management (POM1) and Plant and Energy Management (POM2), selected topics of the lectures are taken up and highlighted by means of practice-relevant examples and exercises.

Quantitative procedures and methods of Production and Operations Management are presented and implemented by students by presenting methods conceptually, interpreting them economically and implementing them by means of the learning and standard software Python and Gurobi.
Learning goals

The students

  • model and understand the mathematical formulation of a management problem in industrial production

  • implement the solution approach using Python and Gurobi

  • solve a case study relevant to practice

  • explain the  model and the implementation in the final presentation and written paper
Advance performance
Good knowledge of operations research
