As part of our course “International Logistics Systems”, we were pleased to welcome Dr. Sebastian Heger on 30 November 2022 for an exciting guest lecture on the topic of “Software-supported Workforce Planning in logistics”. As a senior consultant at M2P Consulting and OR specialist at WePlan Software, he was able to give our students valuable insights into the topic.

The guest lecture dealt with the specifics of medium- and long-term workforce planning for companies in the logistics and aviation industry. Using different case studies, it was clearly demonstrated how software-supported planning can help to master the challenges of recording the workload of volatile requirements, various shift modeling as well as location- and qualification-based actual and target planning, taking into account legal and internal corporate planning frameworks.

A big thank you for the exciting insights into this interesting topic!
