Institute of Automotive Management and Industrial Production (AIP) - Production and Logistics | LinkedIn (original) (raw)
Info
For more than 20 years, AIP has proven research competence in the design, planning, and control of industrial production and logistics systems. Our mission statement is technology and decision-oriented business economics. Here we model processes and systems according to the problems under consideration. On this basis, we develop decision support models which we apply in industry and politics to derive recommendations for appropriate activities. In interdisciplinary teams, challenging questions are often dealt with directly on site and in a practice-oriented manner. Our research addresses the classic production and logistics management. The spectrum of our research ranges from production, logistics, and supply chain management to environmental protection. Our research is enhanced in the four areas „Energy“ , "Digitization", "Mobility", and "Resources". In these areas, we develop innovative solutions for current problems, derive applicable suggestions for improvement, and support their implementation. In numerous research projects, we work together with national and international partners from academia and industry, often with the involvement of public funding organizations such as the German Research Foundation (DFG) and various federal ministries. The aim is to transfer sophisticated theoretical work into industrial applications. To this end, the Chair cooperates with companies from a wide range of sectors and sizes, from local recycling companies to global partners from the automotive and steel industries. The results are also reflected in a large number of publications in leading international journals. We also contribute our strengths to the active design of various research centers.

This week, Prof. Dr. Thomas S. Spengler and Tjard Bätge attended the final symposium of the Lower Saxony "Hydrogen Technology Innovation Labs" in Hanover. One of these innovation labs was the project THEWA (Thermal Management of Hydrogen Refueling Stations). Together with THEWA partners in research and industry, we economically assessed and optimized hydrogen refueling station configurations and investigated beneficial layouts for future hydrogen refueling station networks. Tjard explained how operators can use our models to plan their networks in an economically beneficial way during a 15-minute highlight presentation. In his ongoing work, he will also investigate how policy measures can potentially promote this planning. So, stay tuned! We would like to thank the Ministry for Science and Culture of Lower Saxony and the Energy Research Centre of Lower Saxony for organizing this event, as well as all our partners within THEWA for their collaboration over the past years. -

As part of the Kompetenzzentrum KREIS initiative, researchers from our Institute visited our project partner, Electrocycling GmbH, a certified recycler of electronic waste that provides eco-conscious recycling services for various applications. During our visit, we engaged in discussions on the future of circular economy practices, particularly regarding the recycling and lifecycle management of electronics, and participated in an insightful tour of their recycling operations. This visit establishes a foundation for integrating academic research with practical solutions, aiming to advance the circular economy in the South-East Lower Saxony region and beyond. -

Prof. Dr. Thomas S. Spengler was honored to be received by Bundespräsident Frank-Walter Steinmeier at Schloss Bellevue on 23.10.2024, as part of a celebratory dinner with members of the Wissenschaftsrat. It was an evening of meaningful exchange and remarkable impressions that will be remembered for years to come. The Wissenschaftsrat (German Science and Humanities Council), established in 1957, serves as Germany's leading advisory body for science policy, offering strategic guidance to federal and state governments on advancing research, science, and higher education. -

From October 3-5, the Global Product Systems Sustainability (GPSS) Workshop 2024 took place at the University of Rhode Island, co-organized by Manbir Sodhi, Prof. Dr. Thomas S. Spengler, and Alexander Barke. With 25 participants from leading research institutions, the workshop facilitated in-depth discussions on the pressing issues of sustainability. Under the central theme of the workshop, “Opportunities, challenges, and risks of a circular economy in the context of achieving absolute sustainability”, five engaging sessions were held: 1. Absolute Sustainability (Michael Hauschild and Christoph Herrmann) 2. Circular Economy Concepts (Prof. Dr. Thomas S. Spengler and Grit Walther) 3. Industrial Decarbonization and Demand (Daniel Cooper, Heather Liddell, Roland Geyer, and Daniela Pigosso) 4. The Social Dimensions of a Circular Economy (Karsten Kieckhäfer and Manbir Sodhi) 5. Negotiation Game: Conoco’s Green Oil Strategy (Timothy Gutowski) We would like to thank all participants for their insightful contributions and delightful discussions. Your engagement made this workshop a truly valuable experience. We look forward to welcoming you again at GPSS 2026! -

We are thrilled to announce that our colleague Yannik Graupner has recently published an article in the Journal of Industrial Ecology. The paper, titled "Effects of European Emissions Trading on the Transformation of Primary Steelmaking: Assessment of Economic and Climate Impacts in a Case Study from Germany", delves into the topic of decarbonizing energy-intensive industries. This research is particularly relevant in today’s context, as it evaluates how European emissions trading impacts the transformation of primary steelmaking facilities, focusing on economic outcomes as well as resulting greenhouse gas emissions. By combining activity analysis, life cycle assessment, and optimization, Yannik and his co-authors have provided a methodological framework that supports steel manufacturers in transforming their production infrastructure. Also, valuable insights into how legislative changes can accelerate the adoption of low-carbon technologies in steel production are provided. This publication underscores the importance of our institute’s ongoing efforts to contribute to the global discourse on sustainable industrial practices. Congratulations, Yannik, on this outstanding achievement! Link to the article: https://lnkd.in/du-tsg6e

At the beginning of this month, our colleague Karen Ohmstede attended the International System Dynamics Conference (ISDC) in Bergen, Norway, from August 4th to 8th. This event brought together experts and professionals from around the world to explore and discuss the latest developments in system dynamics. At this conference, Karen presented a work-in-progress titled "The Role of Airports During the Transformation Towards Hydrogen-Based Aviation." We appreciate the organizers for hosting a successful conference and look forward to the next ISDC in Schaumburg, Illinois, USA.
