Quantitative methods for digital production management

The decision making in digitized production systems is often supported by quantitative methods. In addition to the solution quality, strict time constraints regarding the computation time have to be met, especially for operational planning problems.

The course gives an overview of different planning problems in production management. For these problems, various types of heuristics and analytical approaches for solving linear and nonlinear optimization problems are introduced. In particular, various meta-heuristics are presented.
