Cost and competitive advantages in companies mostly arise from international value chains. Students of the International Business Administration degree programme gain a comprehensive insight into the essential real economic processes of a company, namely procurement and production as well as internal and external logistics. The students know the basic terms, tasks, goals from the areas of procurement, planning and production, transport/transhipment/warehousing, distribution and disposal. They know exemplary concepts and strategies from these areas, such as sourcing concepts, goods supply, warehouse, planning, control, commissioning, distribution and disposal concepts and can describe their significance. The students can name examples of applications of the concepts. Elements of logistics performance and logistics costs as well as examples of key figures can be described. The students can recognise, describe and discuss conflicts of objectives in logistics. They are able to recognise, explain and discuss similarities and differences, advantages and disadvantages of the above concepts and structures from the functional areas of logistics. The students are able to differentiate/classify materials, gross/net requirements calculations and quantity planning with lead time determination as well as key figure calculations for exemplary areas of logistics, they are able to apply and plan control concepts within the framework of a simulation. They are also able to recognise and formulate problems and questions on the basis of a case description from the logistics environment and to independently formulate learning objectives for the case. They are able to research independently and to present and discuss their results in a structured way. |
