The course investigates different aspects of logistics considering sustainable and environmental issues. We will focus on quantitative models and methods in order to build a more efficient and “greener” system ranging from strategic considerations, such as network planning, to operational decisions, such as routing.
Courses with continuous assessment of student performance (prüfungsimmanent, PI) are courses in which attendance is mandatory.
Lecture with active participation including in class examples and case studies, assignments and presentations
- Mid-term test 35%
- Assignments and presentations 30%
- Final exam 35%
In order to successfully complete the course one has to have more than 50% of overall points. Groups works will be peer-reviewed and can be individually graded.
Grades are distributed as follows:
- 0-50: 5
- 51-62: 4
- 63-74: 3
- 75-86: 2
- 87-100: 1
If the student misses a performance assessment worth less than 50% of the grade, opportunities to repeat the assessment can be provided optionally by the lecturers and in any case require sufficient proof for the necessity of the absence.
