Beschreibung

We offer a master thesis on investigating the implications of critical raw materials on the commercial vehicle sector in a research project with MAN Bus & Truck SE.
Initial situation

Uncertain and volatile market conditions, legislative influences and the integration of circular economy approaches are creating new challenges in the development of commercial vehicles with regard to the use of resources.

To meet these challenges, the consideration of critical raw materials is of increasing importance.

Within the research project "Application Potentials of the Circular Economy in the Commercial Vehicle Sector", the topic of critical raw materials will be investigated in regards to the material composition of trucks and buses.

Objectives and procedure

Thematic familiarization with critical raw materials, the (commercial) vehicle industry and material compositions of commercial vehicles

(literature research).

Research on multicriteria evaluation methods
Categorization of critical raw materials, analysis and classification of relevant evaluation criteria and future scenarios
Development of a methodology to evaluate different risk levels and risk scenarios
Application of the methodology to materials used in commercial vehicles (list of materials will be provided)
Documentation and writing of a scientific thesis

Requirements:

Interest in methodology development
If possible, experience in the vehicle sector, circular economy, risk management
Independent and structured way of working
German is not specifically required but is seen as a plus

Ideally, the work is to be completed as a master's thesis. The expected start date is can be discussed). The supervising

chair is the Chair of Materials Handling, Material Flow, Logistics under Prof. Fottner.
