Course contents:
The course contains methods and techniques for planning of resources in logistics at different levels of a production company. Part 1 puts focus on the internal planning in a production company. Production planning and control at different levels with capacity calculations on each level, helps transform the customerâ?Ts requirement into a requirement at the supplier. Part 2 contains different methods for planning and control such as Lean production, Just in Time, and Drum-buffer-rope. Inventory control at different levels is also part of the planning in a supply chain. Part 3 focuses on transportation resources. Planning and execution of transports and different modes of transportation are discussed. The role of the forwarding agent is analysed and transportation costs are kept in focus. The course, as a whole, is based on the use of quantitative models at every level of planning and control.
