Lectures
Course description
The course explores the key issues associated with the management of industrial supply chains. The scope of supply chain management goes beyond the activities of an individual firm and considers the flows of material, information and money from suppliers to final customers. Throughout the course, typical issues regarding the efficient interaction of these players are discussed and approaches to maximize total supply chain profitability are developed. The lecture is supported by classroom discussions and case studies.

Course description
The importance of sustainability in production and logistics will be discussed in the lecture. First, framework conditions and options for the design of sustainable production and logistics are explained before tools and methods for material and energy flow modelling are introduced. Finally, the modeled material and energy flows are analyzed and evaluated with regard to sustainability aspects using methods of multi-criteria decision making. In the course of the lecture, the students should get an overall understanding of sustainability in production and logistics and learn to understand and apply the presented methods. The lectures will be supported by case studies and excursions.
