This specialization is primarily geared towards modern industrial manufacturing, focusing on sustainability and resilience in addition to efficiency and economics.

As a student in this specialization, you will gain insight into the process of (digital) product development, from design to implementation in the form of a digital twin. You will be introduced to the world of automation and experience elements of sensor technology and actuators in an application context. You will also learn about the technical basics of process engineering and its importance for sustainability, e.g., in recycling. Digitalization plays a major role across all aspects of production and organization and is explored in greater depth through the examination of cyber-physical systems.

As a graduate of this profile, you will have the methods and tools to plan, organize, implement, and control industrial production from the ground up under the aforementioned boundary conditions. You will use production planning and logistics tools, project management, and your engineering sciences understanding of processes and products. Furthermore, you will be able to increase added value in existing production structures and optimize processes for sustainability.

In interaction with manufacturing, you will be able to develop and design products with digital tools and optimize them for production. These can be everyday items (consumer goods) as well as capital goods such as systems or machines. You are not restricted to a specific sector and can apply the skills you have acquired in a wide variety of industries.

Here we offer an overview of the modules of the specialization in Production Management.

Who is the degree program suitable for?

Are you interested in the technical and business aspects of industrial manufacturing? Do you have a love of technical detail but still keep an eye on the overall system? Do you have an aptitude for mathematics and an interest in measurement, control, and regulation? Are you interested in questions of planning, organization, technical implementation, logistics, and the control of manufacturing processes? Do you want to manage the content of larger and complex projects? Do you want to tackle the challenges of our time in connection with industrial manufacturing, especially regarding sustainability and resilience or stability of supply chains? Then you've come to the right place.

With the professional and social skills you have acquired and your specialization in Production and Organization, you will be ideally prepared to work as an expert, consultant, product manager, project manager, or executive in a wide range of industrial sectors related to process engineering, e.g., in the fields of mobility, energy supply, or consumer goods manufacturing.

Internship & studying abroad

Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences has a large network of renowned industrial partners at national and international level. You can apply the knowledge you have acquired there during your internship semester.

Your future work is often internationally oriented, and good foreign language skills are therefore a great advantage.
