Prof. Dr. Peik Bremer

Bachelor Thesis Projects

It would be my pleasure to be the supervisor of your bachelor thesis project. In case you are going to work with a company, the topic should be close to my core topics (logistics business processes - e.g. picking, material staging - integrating technology and information systems in logistics).
