Modules Available

Planning of Intralogistics Systems

The module provides an overview of the most convenient methods and procedures in the field of material flow and logistics planning. Starting with the actual collection of data and the subsequent profound analysis, the students learn how to use adequate tools and assessment methods to develop different planning alternatives. Furthermore, qualitative as well as quantitative evaluation methods are introduced and applied to help the students selecting the best option of the planning alternatives. The theoretical foundations are intensified by working on a complementary practical case study that is conducted in small groups.

Introduction to Supply Chain Management

This module will introduce students to the field of supply chain management with its main challenges, theories, and planning methods. The module will be organised as a series of lectures and exercise classes as well as in class case study discussions.

Green Supply Chain and Risk Management

This module will introduce students to the concept of Green Supply Chains–and its drivers and objectives. They will learn how to go green in a holistic manner by applying green techniques which make companies ‘greener’ while increasing short- and long-term profits for the company and explore innovative methodologies for the selected situations. They will discover the critical success factors for Green Supply Chain programs while knowing the threats and reasons for increasing vulnerabilities of global and local supply chains. They will become familiar with method toolbox of SCRM and use risk mitigation and avoidance techniques to deepen the understanding of SCM.

Consumer Industry Supply Chain Management

This module addresses the issues of logistics and supply chain management from the perspective of national and international consumer goods producers, wholesalers, retail chains and e-commerce companies from the food and non-food branded goods industries, fashion and luxury goods, home supplies etc. It shows the structures of logistics across the value chain by analysing each step from the producer to the consumer. Also, different possibilities of designing and integrating supply chains will be analysed. Throughout the module, case studies will be discussed to apply the theory in practice.

Logistics Service Provider (LSP) Management

This module provides an overview of the ever-increasing share of logistics is being outsourced to Third Party Logistics Service Providers (“3PL”, “LSP”). The successful management of these kinds of companies poses challenges that in many respects are different from traditional “industrial” management practices. The module offers an overview of the worldwide LSP industry, its key players, and best management practices, as well an introduction to relevant theoretical concepts of advanced service management. The module provides an introductory preparation to students for potential careers in logistics services, as well as an under-standing of typical business models and management issues relevant for successful dealings with logistics outsourcing partners.

Design and Application of Material Handling Systems

The module covers the issue of the movement, storage, handling, control and protection of materials, goods, and products throughout the process of manufacturing, distribution, consumption, and disposal. The focus is on the methods to evaluate and choose systems, mechanical equipment, systems, and related controls used to achieve these functions. Material Handling is shown in some business areas and business cases. Important topics are also internet of things technologies and ambient intelligence in material handling systems.
