The lecture will not take place in the winter semester 2020/21!

The aim of the course is to simulate realistic situations in which the effects of decisions and interactions of the actors in supply chains can be made visible and thus experienced. This gives students the opportunity to put themselves in the shoes of the various roles of the companies involved in the value chain, from OEMs to suppliers to logistics service providers, and to interact within the system.

Building on the theoretical knowledge imparted in the lectures, the students are to apply their knowledge in realistic decision-making situations, take on different functional areas in logistics and recognise and understand the interrelationships in logistics.
