Entry requirements

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Prerequisites

Basics in optimization (especially network and integer programming) and logistics

Intended learning outcomes

The aim of this course is to present a number of application areas within logistics, where quantitative methods are especially suitable. After the course, the students should:

know the principle behind the SCOR-model-building
perform simple metric calculations using the SCOR-model
create simple models in decision theory
conduct an investment analysis
implement a project planning with CPM and PERT methodology
generate a queueing model and simulation model for simple logistics cases
master various special cases of inventory control

Course content

The course contents include:

The SCOR model Key factor calculations using the SCOR model Decision theory Investment analysis Project planning Queueing theory and simulation Inventory control

Teaching and working methods

The course will consist of lectures, lessons and laboratory work. The lectures will discuss the main part of the theoretical content, while the seminars will be dedicated to case works and assignments. Laboratory work will mainly consist of computer assisted exercises and assignments.
