Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Globalisation of sourcing, manufacturing, and distribution activities requires an effective design and efficient operation of logistics processes. The course provides the participants with a broad understanding of supply chain design and operations in an international context. Besides institutional aspects of global logistics networks and markets, planning concepts to support strategic, tactical and operational decisions in logistics are presented. Special topics covered in this course include recent developments in humanitarian, reverse and service logistics.

Assessment and permitted materials

Home assignments (20%), term project (20%), midterm exam (30%), final exam (30%)

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

The course¿s learning objectives are to
 understand the challenges, opportunities, and pitfalls in the design of global supply chains and the economic trade-offs that have to be resolved,
 gather a theoretical understanding of logistics systems and learn to apply analytical skills and planning tools to provide decision support in global procurement, manufacturing, distribution and transportation,
 give an overview about logistics markets and specific developments in humanitarian logistics, reverse logistics and service parts management.

Examination topics

Lectures introduce problems and concepts in international logistics. Guest lectures from invited practitioners show real world challenges and implications.
