Doctorate
Dimensionierung indirekter Bereiche auf Basis unscharfer Daten
Doctoral thesis, Technical University of Munich, 2020, utzverlag GmbH, ISBN 978-3-8316-4854-2
The thesis develops a method for estimating the space and staffing requirements of indirect areas early in the planning phase, when no reliable data is yet available. This methodology also underpins the space-requirement calculations in Bross Consulting's factory planning projects.
