Collaboration of Research in the Baltic Sea Region – Maritime Load Dependent Lead Times
The “Landesforschungsförderung Hamburg” is funding the development of international research cooperation in the Baltic Sea region and promoting research in maritime logistics with this project. From University of Southern Denmark, Associate Professor Julia Pahl with the Center for Engineering Operations Management, will investigate the phenomenon of maritime load dependent lead times (M-LDLT).
Operations Management students visit the Port of Hamburg and AIRBUS in Finkenwerder
In December 2016, 21 students of the master course “Operations Management – Information Technology” and two lecturers went to two sites in Germany. First, they visited the Port of Hamburg to see its innovative technological developments. Afterwards, they visited the European aircraft manufacturer AIRBUS' plant in Finkenwerder.

Article published by Graduate students
Three of the students (ie, Markus Ziegler; Sabine Seiter and Robert Hoppe) who have followed Modularization and Platform Design graduate course during 2015 have published an article in a Danish journal called Optimering. For more details, please look at pages 32-34 from the attached link.
Article published based on industrial PhD study by Kristian R Petersen
Operations and maintenance (O&M) processes are important for keeping offshore wind turbines in operation. Costs related to such activities constitute approximately 30% of the lifetime cost of an offshore wind farm project. In line with this context, an article has been published in the Danish journal Optimering, which is published by the Danish Maintenance Associate. The article describes the results from an industrial PhD study made by Kristian R Petersen at the Center for Engineering Operations Management and Vattenfall Wind Power. For more details, please look at page 18 from the attached link. In this research, Kristian R Petersen had his focus on how first Lean and then modularization of maintenance resources can be used to streamline operations and maintenance processes further in the offshore wind power sector.
