Welcome to the Chair of Management Science 

of Prof. Dr. Jens O. Brunner

The professorship introduces itself

In research and teaching, the professorship deals with the planning and analysis of service processes in the healthcare sector. The modeling, analysis and optimization of practical problems using quantitative methods in the areas of business analytics and operations management are at the forefront of its activities. The research work is carried out in close cooperation with practitioners.

Our research profile

Central research questions deal with process, resource, quality and information management. Our research activities are divided into the following two research areas.

Resource Planning In this research area, we deal with the optimal short, medium and long-term allocation of resources within medical processes. This includes duty and resource planning in the medical and nursing service as well as training planning for prospective specialists. In addition, there are issues relating to operating room planning, including the upstream emergency department, downstream intensive care capacities and the underlying appointment allocation.

Data Science and Decision Making In the research area of Data Science and Decision Making, the Chair of Data Science attempts to use methods and machine learning processes, primarily but not exclusively in the healthcare sector, to analyze existing data and derive appropriate recommendations for action. This data originates, for example, from hospital information systems and, depending on the application, can include occupancy and treatment data or even working times and procedure durations.

Main research areas

  • Resource planning
  • Personnel resource planning
  • Operating room planning
  • Patient flow optimization
  • Appointment scheduling systems
  • Medical decision support
  • AI in healthcare
