Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This course focuses on intralogistics concepts for the storage and retrieval of goods. We examine storage and retrieval in two settings: ports and warehouses. The dimensioning of warehouses, the product allocation, the batch formation and order picker routing as well as related packing problems will be discussed. We further examine port terminal operations related to the handling of containers. The course aims to enable students to understand and solve major decision problems faced in port and warehousing operations. Homework exercises will be used to practice the learned methods.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

A total of 100% can be obtained by:
- weekly homework assignments (20%; students must upload the homework examples in Moodle)
- a written midterm exam (40%) (13.05.2026)
- a written final exam (40%) (24.06.2026)

The exams are planned to take place on-site and are closed book. Formulas will be provided.

Cheating during an examination will be sanctioned according to the university's constitution in its current form (i.e., the entire course will not be graded but marked as cheated and counted as one attempt). Signing for another student will be counted as cheating as well (also during homework sessions).

Students who want to take part in an exam are required to bring their student ID.
