Info:

The research at the Chair of Operations Management is focusing on application-oriented, techno-economic modeling and evaluating of production and logistics systems as well as supply chains.

In four research areas, namely "Management of Supply Networks", "Resource and Sustainability Management", "Sustainable Mobility" and "Regulatory Impact Assessment", we develop and implement innovative solutions in interdisciplinary cooperation with partners from science and practice.

We aim at an application-oriented research, which is reflected in our research projects carried out in close collaboration with industrial and academic partners.

Profile Area ECPE

The provision of sustainable energy and materials is clearly one of the major global challenges which were identified in the future strategy of RWTH Aachen University. The profile area Energy, Chemical & Process Engineering (ECPE) addresses the two most important pathways to achieve this goal: Improvements in energy and material efficiency and the transition to renewable sources.

More information on the profile area's key topics can be found here.

RWTH Aachen Profile Areas

RWTH Aachen University is convinced that in order to solve today's complex and multi-faceted problems, universities have to develop appropriate, integrated approaches. The Profile Areas are designed to address interdisciplinary topics and thus to enhance the University’s capability to engage in significant research activities and take on large-scale projects.
