logistik_small

Logistics includes the organization and realization of the flow of goods in international, national and local interaction processes between enterprises and their customers, e.g. between supplier and producer or between trade and consumer, but also within producing and commercial enterprises, at construction sites or in urban areas and cities.

The efficient design of logistic supply and disposal processes requires the tactical assignement of employees, equipment and finances as well as the integration of all involved through information and communication processes, e.g. for the identification and management of goods, for tracking and tracing or for the reservation of transport capacities.
For the benefit of the competitiveness of business enterprises and regional locations, logistic processes need to be economical, efficient and ecological under technical, micro- and macroeconimical aspects.

Industrial Engineering with specialization in Logistics [WLO] studies

The object of the study course is to develop the ability and competency to perform systematical analyses of logistic problems and to plan, dimension, design and evaluate socio-technical processes and systems. The abilities to think in systems and structures, to solve complex problems, to work in interdisciplinary teams and to take on leadership functions (executive functions) are trained in physical and virtual logistic environments.

Beginning with the winter semester 2008/2009 the diploma degree programme Industrial Engineering with specialization in Logistics is repositioned towards a Bachelor of Science degree programme and based upon this is a Master of Science degree programme.
