Content and Learning Outcomes

Course Disposition

The course work is built around lectures and project assignments related to the central fields of the course. The course includes a written examination on the central elements in SCM and production logistics, as well as a project presented by a written assignment on applications, reflections, and critical analysis regarding technologies for production logistics and the connection between digitisation and the operation and development of sustainable production logistics.

Course Contents

The aim of the course is for the student to obtain understanding of and tools for supply chain management in technology-intensive sectors. Students should also realise how these theories and tools can be applied in service-producing supply chains. Further, students should obtain advanced knowledge of how technical solutions can improve material and information flows in internal productions logistics, transport, and storage systems, as well as in SCM (including intermodal transports). The course will also form a basis for critical analysis of ethical, safety, and integrity challenges in layers and transport systems as well as interaction between man and automated equipment.

Intended Learning Outcomes

After passing the course, the students should be able to:

• Define production logistics and supply chain management and categorise the different elements in a supply chain by applying an established framework.
• Describe, analyse, and compare different transport systems and warehouse logistics systems, their components, and underlying technologies for internal and external material flows.
• Explain how and under which requirements an increased digitisation and various IT systems can facilitate a transparent and seamless information flow in production logistics or in a supply chain.
• Identify and analyse interplay and information sharing in different parts of the production logistics, between different units in an organisation, and between companies in a supply chain for physical products.
• Analyse the needs of a producing company, regarding its internal and external logistics systems from environmental, social, and economical perspectives and set together possible solution proposals.
