This volume presents state-of-the-art models, algorithms, and applications of quantitative methods in management and economics. The papers are clustered into four parts, focusing on optimization issues, applications of Operations Research in production and service management, applications of Operations Research in logistics, and interdisciplinary approaches.

This book gathers a selection of peer-reviewed papers presented at the International Conference on Operations Research (OR 2021), which was hosted online by the University of Bern from August 31 to September 3, 2021, and was jointly organized by the Operations Research Societies of Switzerland (SVOR/ASRO), Germany (GOR e.V.), and Austria (OEGOR). The respective papers discuss classical mathematical optimization, statistics and simulation techniques. These are complemented by computer science methods, and by tools for processing data, designing and implementing information systems. The book also examines recent advances in information technology, which allow massive volumes of data to be processed and enable real-time predictive and prescriptive business analytics to drive decisions and actions. Lastly, it presents a selection of problems that are modeled and treated while taking into account uncertainty, risk management, behavioral issues, etc.

Norbert Trautmann prasentiert einen zweistufigen Ansatz zur operativen Planung der Chargenproduktion auf Mehrzweckanlagen und demonstriert seine hohe Praxisrelevanz durch eine Fallstudie und ein Beispiel aus der Aluminium-Industrie.

Norbert Trautmann entwickelt einen Dekompositionsansatz zur Optimierung der Chargenproduktion auf Mehrzweckanlagen, der eine Belegungsplanung mit Hilfe von Modellen und Methoden zur ressourcenbeschrankten Projektplanung sowie Standardsoftware zur nichtlinearen Optimierung ermoglicht.
