Aim:
The aim of the course is to contribute with theoretical knowledge concerning logistics in supply chains and to increase the ability to make a structural analysis of alternative logistics solutions. The analysis is inter-organisational, in terms of covering several actors´ perspective in a supply chain, as well as intra-organisational, in terms of the interplay between the logistics function and other functions in a company. After having completed the course the student should:
- Have knowledge about theoretical terms as e.g. supply chain management, centralisation, flexibility, uncertainties, coordination, integration and these terms´ relevance in logistics.
- Be able to understand how different contextual factors in a supply chain affect the logistics design, e.g. typ of industry, marketing channel, corporate strategies and logistics strategies.
- Be able to perform a qualitative and quantitative analysis of different logistics alternatives for a company and a supply chain respectively. The analysis concerns physical structure, division of roles, logistics activities, physical flows and information flows, and is evaluated in terms of their economic effects.
- Be able to make an analysis of logistics tasks by:
- Assessing the tasks and make relevant delimitations
- make relevant assumptions and simplifications of the tasks
- evaluating different alternative solutions with regard to uncertainties
- clearly communicate and motivate results

Course contents:
The course primarily covers inter-organizational issues concerning logistics between companies in a supply chain, e.g. the physical flow from suppliers to manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers and their industrial end customers. Also intra-organizational issues is an important part of the course, e.g. inbound and outbound logistics and the relations with functions such as purchasing, manufacturing, and marketing/sales.
An important part of the course is to learn how to make a structured analysis of alternative logistics solutions for different companies in a supply chain. The analysis concerns physical structure, the division of roles between actors, logistics activities, physical flows and information flows. Another important part of the course is coordination between companies in the supply chain and between functions in the companies. Issues like collaboration and division of roles are discussed, e.g. vendor managed inventory. The analysis concerns evaluation of costs, time, service, sales, competitiveness, and other intangible effects connected to logistics as a value creator.
