040137 UK ABWL Production and Logistics II (2022W)

In the new Bachelor's degree curricula in Business Administration and International Business Administration (version 2014), the first step is to complete the introductory phase (15 ECTS). Then a total of 5 ABWL modules are to be completed in the core phase. One of these is Production and Logistics. Like most other ABWL modules, it consists of two parts: first the introductory lecture ABWL Production and Logistics I has to be completed, then the practical course ABWL Production and Logistics II.
The aim of this course is to deepen and expand the knowledge acquired in the lecture Production and Logistics I. The students are introduced to problems/models from the field of production and logistics in order to independently analyse problems and solve them with appropriate quantitative methods.

Content of the course:
Introduction to LP Modelling
Traveling Salesman Problem: heuristic and exact solution methods, LP model
Multi-period programme planning for multiple product and multiple capacity types, LP model
Demand forecasting
Material requirements planning: Stochastic models, newsvendor problem
Lot size planning: Exact solution methods for deterministic, dynamic single-product models
Scheduling: Acceleration within network plans, LP model
Production scheduling, machine scheduling.

The course consists primarily of lectures in which the theory is discussed, reviews of the homework in which the most significant/frequent errors of the students are addressed, and Excel tutorials. These take place partly live in Moodle and partly via recordings.
Essential components of the course are also the solving of homework exercises, which are not compulsory but included in the assessment and can be seen as preparation for the exams, and the use of Excel, as Excel is part of the homework exercises and an exam.
