This year’s Quantitative BWL (QBWL) workshop was hosted on 8 March 2021 by the Chair of Supply and Value Chain Management at TUM Campus Straubing. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the workshop was hosted in a virtual format.

116 participants from 18 universities joined the workshop which consisted of a large number of presentations and discussions. In three streams on “Last Mile Delivery, Routing & Logistics”, “ Revenue Management & Supply Planning”, and “Sequencing & Scheduling”, 20 researchers presented their current or future research projects. The presentations were complemented by vivid discussions. The agenda incl. presentation topics and presenters can be found in the photo gallery below.

QBWL is a gathering of German research groups working on quantitative topics in business and economics. It was established about 3 decades ago and has continuously grown to a group of more than 25 chairs. The workshop is hosted once a year by one of the participating chairs, usually as a 3-day in-person workshop. Next year’s workshop is planned for March 2022, hosted by the University of Magdeburg.
