Institute for production technology and systems

The members of the Institute for Production Technology and Systems (IPTS) carry out work on a wide range of engineering-related research questions.
When it comes to subjects, the members of the Institute concentrate on the topics of supply chain management and production management, as well as on measurement, control, plasma, production and material technology. Within these fields, we aim to answer current research questions through both experimental work and the use of digital modelling. Our overarching goal here is to provide better solution strategies for complex problems within the field of engineering.

research

The members of the department investigate this field from both a production management and a technical perspective.

Cooperations with companies and external research institutes play an important role in the IPTS work. We collaborate with our industry partners to create practically-oriented solutions to problems within industrial practice. This allows us to transfer our research findings directly into industrial companies, thus helping to improve our partners' competitiveness. A particular highlight of our work is the strong partnership which exists between the IPTS and the Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht Centre for Materials and Coastal Research, which is formally expressed in the form of two shared professorships at the IPTS.

More information on current and completed projects can be found in the research database and on the people pages.

Teaching

The Institute for Production Technology and Systems (IPTS) trains the Engineers of tomorrow at the University of Lueneburg.

The courses offered at the college include the major in engineering sciences as part of the three-year Leuphana Bachelor's degree, as well as courses in the Leuphana semester and complementary studies. At the Graduate School, students can study for a Master's degree in Management and Engineering. Finally, the Professional School offers the MBA Digital Production Management and the M.Sc. in Industrial Engineering with the participation of IPTS.

Within the Leuphana Bachelor's degree, the Engineering Sciences major can be combined with various minors. Combinations with courses in sustainability, business administration, computer science and e-business are particularly popular.

Offers in Bachelor:

Major Engineering
Minor Engineering (Specialisation)
Minor Business Administration
 

Offers in Master:

Management & Engineering

Study part-time
MBA Digital Production Management
Business Engineering (M.Sc.)

Promotion

By way of regular doctorate with subsequent disputation, the Faculty of Economics gives, in this professional context, doctoral degrees the title of Dr. rer. nat. or Dr.-Ing.
