News: Guest lecture on applied optimisation in production management: "From formula to factory"

My students in the course Production Management had the pleasure of welcoming Raphael Kühn from paretos as a guest lecturer. 

28 January 2026, by Prof. Dr. Justus Arne Schwarz

Raphael Kühn provided valuable insights into what truly matters when bringing optimization models and Operations Research into practice—going far beyond pure modeling and algorithm design. From data procurement and model integration to communication with stakeholders and the consideration of user interests, he demonstrated how technical excellence must be complemented by organizational, strategic, and human factors.

His talk offered an excellent overview of how well-designed models can translate into real-world impact and sustainable success in industrial applications.
