| learning outcome | Students have acquired detailed knowledge of inter- and intra-company production and logistics management in circular economic systems and are able to apply it in supply chain management and analogous issues of closed loop management. They have become familiar with the essential design aspects of long-term customer-oriented product(ion) program planning and have acquired comprehensive knowledge of models for the design of logistical network structures, for site location planning and for the design and planning of different production and material flow concepts and systems. In the lecture courses, they have learned a variety of planning procedures that they can relate to both the outbound route of production and distribution and the return route (collection and reduction processes). Hence, they are able to identify and analyse specific planning task of circular systems. Through exercise course, students have acquired the ability to independently apply the aspects covered in the lecture by means of small exercises and comprehensive case studies. In doing so, they observe comments and advice of the tutor and their fellow students. |
