Aim
The aim of the course is to give a fundamental understanding of logistics, be familiar with logistics terminology and concepts, and be able to apply some basic models and methods for analysing and controlling material flows. Special emphasis is on the environmental aspects of logistics.Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)
- describe the logistics performance indicators and objectives
- describe the processes, functions, flows and participants in a logistics system
- describe the structure of the logistics system including products, materials supply, production and distribution
- describe the physical material flow, including storage, material handling and transports
- describe the different logistics cost and tied up capital
- apply the most common measures for cost, tied up capital and customer service
- describe the control of the processes of materials supply, customer order and forecasting
- describe the structure of manufacturing planning and control
- describe and apply the basic material and capacity control methods
- describe and apply the most common lot sizing methods
- describe the decoupling purposes for various types of inventories in the materials flow
- apply analyses of tied up capital, ABC analyses and analyses cost of total logistics
- describe various strategies of designing distribution networks
- describe various logistics effects in supply chains and some concepts to gain increased collaboration in supply chains
- describe logistics information systems
