Modules

Module: Supply Chain Management: Key Business Processes

Successful supply chain management requires cross-functional integration of key business processes within the firm and across the network of firms that comprise the supply chain. The challenge is to determine how to successfully accomplish this integration. The distinction between logistics and supply chain management is made and you will learn about the eight supply chain management processes and how they can be implemented.

Module: Logistics Management in Practice

A best practice example in aircraft logistics will be introduced: Participants will visit logistics and production sites from Airbus Industries and Kühne + Nagel, and will be able to follow the materials and information flow in a highly integrated production process. The integration of a third party logistics provider into industrial production processes in the Airbus aircraft logistics within the “Supply the Sky” plan has been awarded with the German Logistics Association (BVL) award.

As a managerial tool project management plays an important role in logistics. The most important objective of project management is to successfully handle projects in a time and cost effective manner.
