| Aim: The main aim of the course is to expand the knowledge of logistics analysis and change. The analysis concerns the use of theoretical models and computer tools. Knowledge of logistics change is focused on the implementation of logistics solutions and to see changes as continuous processes in the supply chains. The course does not have Integrated Logistics, TETS09 or TETS17, as a prerequisite but can be seen as a continuation and deepening of that course. This course deals primarily with analysis and changes on a tactical level. |
|||
| Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered) TETS13 Basic Logistics M, or TETS07 Basic Logistics I. TETS11 Integrated Logistics I is not a prerequisite but is recommended for better benefit of the course. Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding. |
|||
| Organisation: Lectures, seminars, and laborations with case projects. |

| Course contents: The course content can be divided in four intertwining parts: - Logistics replenishment strategies - Third party logistics - Logistics change - Analysis methods and computer tools Logistics supply strategies deal with different alternatives for efficient material supply and distribution. Focus is on logistics alternatives in a supply chain and, in addition to the logistics basic knowledge, the logistics concepts that in the recent years are spread within industry, e.g. cross docking, continuous replenishment and vendor managed inventories and mutual planning. The supply strategies are applied in the course, both on material supply into an assembly factory, and in distribution of finished goods. Especially are logistics consequences analysed of electronic commerce - business to business and business to consumers. Third party logistics, outsourcing of logistics, mainly concerns organisations buying logistics services, but is also seen from the perspective of the logistics provider. Questions concerning the outsourcing decision, driving forces, barriers and effects are discussed, as well as preparation, planning and management, and control of the relation. Logistics change is a very important part of logistics and this course deals with the HOW question, i.e. not only WHAT (which solution) should be done, but how logistics solutions should be implemented. How is a good change process created in the logistics chain? How complex are change processes and how can they be organised and controlled? In the course it is described different change strategies and relevant tools and models. Analysis methods and computer tools for analysis of logistics actions and logistics chains are continuously discussed during the course. Alternative solutions dealing with qualitative and quantitative aspects are analysed from a total cost and service perspective, and also from actor perspective and chain perspective, respectively. Great emphasis is laid on analysis and using calculation programme in order to do total cost analyses, sensitivity analyses and after calculus. Also specific, commercial programs for logistics analysis are used |
