Operations Research ist bei der immer noch zunehmenden Durchdringung betrieblicher und anderer Prozesse durch IT omnipräsent. Dieses Buch richtet sich an Studierende und Personen mit Praxiserfahrung, die keine tiefe mathematische Ausbildung genossen haben, und dennoch die Konzepte und Funktionsweisen der behandelten Modelle und Verfahren im Detail durchdringen möchten. Neben präzisen Analysen werden sowohl intuitive Erläuterungen als auch zahlreiche Beispiele aus den Anwendungsfeldern Produktion und Logistik geboten. Die Lernziele dieses Buches gehen über das reine Wissen um die behandelten Inhalte hinaus und umfassen ein tiefes Verständnis der strukturellen Eigenschaften und Funktionsweisen. Das Verständnis der Inhalte des Buchs befähigt daher zur selbstständigen (Weiter-)Entwicklung dieser Modelle und Verfahren, sei es im Rahmen des Studiums oder im Berufsumfeld.

This book gathers a selection of peer-reviewed papers presented at the International Conference on Operations Research (OR 2021), which was hosted online by the University of Bern from August 31 to September 3, 2021, and was jointly organized by the Operations Research Societies of Switzerland (SVOR/ASRO), Germany (GOR e.V.), and Austria (OGOR).The respective papers discuss classical mathematical optimization, statistics and simulation techniques. These are complemented by computer science methods, and by tools for processing data, designing and implementing information systems. The book also examines recent advances in information technology, which allow massive volumes of data to be processed and enable real-time predictive and prescriptive business analytics to drive decisions and actions. Lastly, it presents a selection of problems that are modeled and treated while taking into account uncertainty, risk management, behavioral issues, etc.

Human decisions, especially in management and personnel selection, are based on making judgments about people analytically and intuitively. Yet in business and scientific contexts, judgments are expected to be based on a rational analysis rather than intuitions or emotions. Intuition is often seen as something mystical that should not be trusted and thus eliminated from human decision-making. Our empirical and theoretical research shows that this is impossible when people are dealing with people. Instead, intuitions and emotions have significant power in the decision-making process. Neuroscience even shows that humans are incapable of switching off their emotions or intuitions when making decisions. Therefore, intuition and emotions as evolutionary achievements of human beings should be looked at more closely to use the wisdom they offer. This book provides an insight into the current state of research on rational-analytical procedures in personnel selection and complements this with research on intuitions and emotions in personnel diagnostics. By integrating scientifically verifiable rational-analytical decision-making procedures with the inner experiential knowledge of people, this book bridges two complementary ways of recognizing and making good decisions. It demonstrates how intuitions are developed and used in different fields of practice and cultures and how scientific research results from rational-analytical and intuitive-emotional selection procedures are successfully integrated by practitioners.

Dieses Buch berichtet über einen Betriebsmanagementansatz zur Verbesserung von Bike-Sharing-Systemen durch den Ausgleich von Nachfrageschwankungen. Ziel ist es, die Fahrräder innerhalb des Systems umzuverteilen und so ein "aktives" Gleichgewicht herzustellen. Das Buch beschreibt ein mathematisches Modell sowie datengesteuerte und simulationsbasierte Ansätze. Außerdem wird gezeigt, wie diese Elemente in einem System zur Entscheidungsunterstützung für Dienstleistungsanbieter kombiniert werden können. Abschließend wird die entwickelte Methode anhand von realen Daten evaluiert und gezeigt, dass sie erfolgreich Nachfrageänderungen vorhersehen kann und somit eine effiziente Planung von Transportfahrzeugen für die manuelle Verlagerung von Fahrrädern zwischen Stationen unterstützt.
