Master

On this page, you find an overview of our courses for students in the Master's (graduate) program.

***** ATTENTION: Changes to our Master’s modules *****

As part of the general shift away from orientation and specialization in the Master’s degree programs, our current Master’s modules will be phased out and replaced by new offerings.

The module Production and Logistics B and its associated courses Production Facility Management and Sustainability in Production and Logistics will be offered in their current format for the last time in summer term 2026. Associated exams may only be taken up to and including summer term 2027.

The module Production and Logistics A and its associated courses Supply Chain Management and Operations Management in the Automotive Industry will be offered in their current format for the last time in winter term 2026/27. Associated exams may only be taken up to and including winter term 2027/28.

After these deadlines, it will no longer be possible to enroll in or take exams for these modules.

Starting from winter term 2026/27 and summer term 2027, four new modules will be available, focusing on the topics of “Sustainability in Production and Logistics Systems”, “Management of Industrial Production Systems”, “Supply Chain Management”, and “Operations Management in the Automotive Industry.” Each of these modules consists of a lecture and a tutorial, in which the taught methods are applied, deepened, and reflected upon.

Lectures

Supply Chain Management

Course description

The module “Supply Chain Management” (4 SWS, 5 LP) conveys advanced concepts and methods for the design, planning, and control of industrial supply chains. The scope extends beyond individual companies and encompasses the integrated analysis of material, information, and financial flows along the entire value chain from suppliers to end customers. The focus lies on the efficient interaction of the actors involved as well as on approaches to increasing the overall profitability of the supply chain.

Central topics include fundamental concepts of supply chain management, their strategic significance, and approaches to achieving strategic fit within the supply chain. In addition, dynamic effects in supply chains are analyzed and measures to improve operational performance are discussed. Methodological emphasis is placed on the application of coordination mechanisms for aligning decentralized decisions and their evaluation with regard to the overall profitability of the supply chain. Furthermore, approaches for designing and optimizing supply chain networks based on mathematical modeling are taught in order to establish a sound basis for decision-making and to systematically evaluate alternative courses of action.

The lecture is based on interactive discussions and is complemented by case examples. Current industrial developments and research findings in the subject area are addressed and discussed.

In the accompanying exercise, students independently apply selected methods and approaches from the lecture in role-playing games as well as to case studies, thereby deepening and reflecting on them in a targeted manner.

Production Facility Management

Course description

The aim of the course is the structuring and understanding of central questions of plant management. The focus is on the knowledge of quantitative and qualitative planning methods and models. The methods and models presented will be combined with practical examples that are strongly related to the process industry.  The lecture focuses on project management of plant projects, investment and cost planning, as well as capacity planning, plant configuration and maintenance.

Organization

  • Language: German
  • Cycle: annual, summer term
  • Time/Room: Tuesdays, 9:45 a.m. - 11:15 a.m., SN 19.3

Sustainability in Production and Logistics

Course description

The importance of sustainability in production and logistics will be discussed in the lecture. First, framework conditions and options for the design of sustainable production and logistics are explained before tools and methods for material and energy flow modelling are introduced. Finally, the modeled material and energy flows are analyzed and evaluated with regard to sustainability aspects using methods of multi-criteria decision making. In the course of the lecture, the students should get an overall understanding of sustainability in production and logistics and learn to understand and apply the presented methods. The lectures will be supported by case studies and excursions.

Organization

  • Language: German
  • Cycle: annual, summer term
  • Time/Room: Tuesday, 11:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m., SN 19.3
  • Start date: 14.04.2026
  • Lecturer: Dr. Alexander Barke
  • Teaching assistant: Moritz Proff
