Production and Logistics

What it is about

You will gain a practice-oriented introduction to planning problems in production and logistics, as well as to methods for solving them. At the end you will be able to recognize, analyze and apply solution approaches to planning tasks at strategic, tactical and operational levels using heuristics and simple (mixed-integer) linear models.

What you will be able to do

• Understand the relationships between planning problems in production and logistics
• Analyze planning problems at strategic, tactical and operational levels
• Apply solution approaches (heuristics, linear and mixed-integer models)
• Classify essential management tasks in production and logistics
• Assess the economic impact of production- and logistics-relevant decisions
