Aim:
The course deals with a number of tools and models for analysis of logistical systems. In the course, the tools and models will be used in specific logistics contexts. The purpose, however, is that the students should get a deeper understanding for how to apply these tools/models in different decision situations, and thereby require a general ability to make good logistics analyses.
After having completed the course the student shall:
- Be able to use some tools and models for the purpose of logistical analyses
- Be well aware of the principles and basic assumptions behind the tools and models that are dealt with in the course
- Be well aware of different ways to acquire the data required for the tools and models
- Be able to apply and adjust these tools and models in a correct manner in a different context than those exemplified in the course
- Be able to critically analyse the reliability in the results from the tools and models with respect to cost, time and service

Course contents:
The course deals with a number of logistics related tools and models, such as the Total Cost Model and Activity Based Costing. During the course the tools and models are applied in different logistics areas, internally in a company as well as in the interface between companies. Besides from using them, special attention is given to the analysis of how logistics related figures connected to cost, time and service are used in these tools and models.
Different types of sensitivity analyses are dealt with in the course in order to better judge the reliability in the results that the discussed tools and models give. Furthermore Excel is used for building up models and handling of large amounts of data.
