Due to the current situation, the class will switch to full distance learning.

Even in the remote format the sessions will take place within the announced time slots. 

 

 

 

Contents

 

The following topics will be addressed:

  • Network planning
  • Supply chain modeling
  • Network design in the supply chain considering service levels, capacity, transportation costs, and fixed costs
  • Evaluation of network design decisions using decision trees
  • Distribution Network Design
Learning outcomes

After successfully passing the class, students should be able to know and apply the models and theories of network design in supply chains.

Furthermore, they should be able to develop and validate optimization models that allow them to compare different network design configurations and to find the optimal network design for a given situation. 

Attendance requirements

Common requirements for attendance: Attendance in the first lecture is mandatory for the participation in the course. If an absence cannot be avoided inform the lecturer  before class and provide some form of proof for the absence (e.g. medical confirmation) in the next session. In total, a minimum requirement for attendance of 80% is required to pass the course. If the attendance falls below 80% for students receiving partial credit, students are graded with 5 (Nicht genügend).
