This module explores optimization of processes and the corresponding supportive tools. Aspects of sustainable prossesses in the food industry are in specific focus. Students are presented with tools for optimisation and apply them to practical case studies. Using digital systems, students develop and analyze processes, as well as different possibilties for their visualisation. They also calculate the benefit of a process optimization for the environment, society and supply chain.

The module explores the following themes:

1. The visualisation of processes - which tools are helpful?
2. Aspects of sustainable processes - which aspects are have to be considered and analysed when shaping sustainable processes
3. Optimization of processes - which tool can be used to optimize for efficient prcesses?
4. Benefits of optimized processes - which benefits do optimized processes hold (for the environment, society, supply-chain etc.)?
5. Change Management - how can changes be communicated, implemented and deemed successful?

Der Arbeitsaufwand für das Modul umfasst insgesamt 150 Stunden (siehe auch "ECTS-Leistungspunkte und Benotung").

• Portfolio-Prüfungsleistung

The portfolio is a presentation/report and term paper

presentation/report: ca. 20-30-minute presentation with 5–10-page written analysis (max. 50 points)
and a term paper, ca. 10-15 pages (max. 50 points)

Basic knowledge of the subject is helpful but not required.

The students can

• develop sustainable processes
• apply the right tools for the case in question
• evaluate the impact of processes on the environment, society and supply chain

The student deepen their knoweledge through the case studies and practicale examples explored in the module.

The students demonstrate their grasp of the relevant knowledge through their work on case studies.

Students can transfer their knowledge by integrating it in practical examples. They can also draw on this knowledge as the basis for their Master's thesis.

The students

• can effectively explain process changes within an organisation
• can effectively communicate within case studies and practical projects.
