Eligibility:
For single subject courses within Chalmers programmes the same eligibility requirements apply, as to the programme(s) that the course is part of.
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 physical material flow, including storage, material handling, transports and packaging
describe the different logistics cost and tied up capital
apply the most common measures for cost and tied up capital
describe the structure of the logistics system including products, materials supply, production and distribution
describe the control of the processes of materials supply, customer order and forecasting
describe the MRPII planning structure
describe and apply the basic material control methods and lot sizing methods
describe the decoupling purposes for various types of inventories in the materials flow
apply analyses of tied up capital, ABC analysis and analysis 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 some important logistics information systems
describe the logistics system in a environment perspective
Content
The following themes are included:
- The context of the logistics system
- The physiacl material flow (packaging, storage, material handling, transportation)
- Efficiency and goals of the logistics system (customer service, cost, tied-up capital, environment)
- The structure of the logistics system (products, material supply, production, distribution)
- Planing and control (demand management, materials planning, manufacturing planning and control, transport planning, material supply processes)
- Logistics collaboration in supply chains
- Logistics information systems
- Environmental aspects of logistics
- Methods and tools for logistics development
Organisation
The course includes lectures, guest lectures, exercises, case seminars and a final written exam.
