| Aim: The main aim of the course is to increase the knowledge of logistics systems and especially the skills in logistics analysis. The analysis concern design of logistics structures and replenishment strategies, including the management, responsibilities and ownership of the logistics activities. Quantitative and qualitative analysis with computer based tools are emphasized. After completion of the course the student should understand the complexity in the choice of logistics solutions and be able to analyse logistics questions reaching from a strategic to an operational level, e.g. the interplay between market strategies and logistics and how logistics can be designed and coordinated in a supply chain consisting of several actors. |
|||
| Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered) TETS13/TETS07 Basic Logistics. TETS11 Integrated Logistics 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. |

| Supplementary courses: TETS26 Utveckling av logistiksystem or TETS35 Logistik projektkurs M |
|||
| Organisation: The course is organised around two case projects. In the first case project the materials supply to an assembly factory is in focus including the outsourcing of logistics (third party logistics). The second case project focus on distribution of finished goods in a chain consisting of several actors. Lectures, seminars, laborations and a field study supports the solving of the case projects. |
|||
| Course contents: The content of the course can be divided into three intertwining themes: 1) Logistics replenishment strategies and logistics structures 2) Third party logistics 3) Analysis methods and computer based tools Logistics replenishment strategies and logistics structures is the largest theme and deals with different alternatives for effective materials supply and distribution. Focus is on different logistics alternatives in a supply chain and especially the logistics solutions which has been developed in the last years in industri and trade, e.g. crossdocking, direct deliveries, continuous replenishment, vendor managed inventories and collaborative planning. In connection to the replenishment strategies different logistics structures, e.g. centralisation and location of warehouses, are studied. The second theme, third party logistics - oursourcing of logistics - is primarily focused on shippers, i.e. companies which buy logistics services, but also the provider perspective is discussed. Questions regarding decisions of outsourcing are discussed as well as planning, management and control of the relation. Examples are given of the analysis that the buyer of logistics services has to carry out and different tools for analysis in the choice of providers. The third theme, methods of analysis and computer based tools for analysis of logistics activities and logistics chains are discussed and used continuously during the course. Alternative solutions concerning quantitative and qualitative aspects are analysed from a total cost and total service perspective, as well as an actor versus a supply chain perspective. Of high importance is analysis and the use of spread sheet applications to perform total cost analysis and trade-off analysis. |
