In both research and teaching, we focus on quantitative methods for decision support in operations, logistics, and supply chain management. We work on a wide range of topics such as sustainable location and routing problems, decision support in disaster relief, the development of multi-objective optimization methods, or planning and control of automated guided vehicles.
On our webpage we provide information about our study program, master's theses, current research projects, and events.

RAMOO 2020
The next "Recent Advances in Multi-Objective Optimization" workshop takes place in Linz on September 17, 2020. It focuses on latest advances in exact methods in multi-objective (mixed) integer optimization.The scientific program is composed of approximately 10 regular talks and two keynote talks. All talks are on invitation basis. The workshop is free of charge.
FWF Project granted
The FWF-funded project "Hybrid Algorithms for Redesigning MRP" will address the development of stochastic optimization approaches in the context of medium term production planning.
New Master program Economic and Business Analytics
Data is considered "the oil of the 21st century". But just collecting data isn't enough. Bright minds know how to manage and oversee huge amounts of data and get the most out of the information. You could be one of these data experts.
