The module provides students a detailed overview of the procedures, strategies, systems, processes and structures of logistics management. Based on the knowledge acquired in previous logistics modules, the phases and operations of corporate logistics are further deepened at the levels of material and information flow and the methods of logistics management are applied to this. The importance of logistics management for the economic success of industrial and commercial enterprises becomes just as clear to students as the interdependencies between logistics management and socially and ecologically oriented corporate management.
