Overview of the department

The Department of Logistics at Technical University Berlin, with over 200 alumni each year and over 50 third-party funded research projects in recent years, is one of Europe’s major facilities of research and teachings in the fi eld of Logistics.

The department was founded by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Helmut Baumgarten. Since October 2004, Professor Straube is head of the Department of Logistics at the Institute of Technology and Management.

The Department of Logistics has four fi elds of operation. These are teachings, research, further education and services. Through a variety of cooperation with well-known compa-nies, an integration of science and practical work is being realized in each fi eld. This way, results and solu-tions are being developed, that match requirements in scientifi c as well as in practical work.

Teachings and research

The combination of teachings and research is a self-evident premise to accommodate the integrative and trans-sectoral character of Logistics.

The cooperation and research projects are being realized, supported by national and international institu-tions like the Deutsche Forschungsge-meinschaft (DFG, German Research Association), the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), the German Federal Ministry of Economy (BMWi), the European Commission and the Senate of Berlin.

Further essential partners in research are logistics associations like the Bundesvereinigung Logistik e.V. (BVL, Federal Logistics Association), the European Logistics Association (ELA) as well as research institutes of nati-onal and international universities.

Executive education and services

The fi eld of executive education makes for the support of a conducted process of corporate development and change.

In various projects, workshops and seminars, innovative and practically oriented solutions and concepts are being worked out, that are made available to the business world again in the course of executive trainings.

Furthermore, the Department of Logistics hosts numerous symposia, seminars and workshops in coopera-tion with partners in business, science and politics. These events provide, amongst other things, an ideal plat-form for students as well as for inte-rested companies.

Course offerings

The course offerings at the Depart-ment of Logistics contain a wide and versatile range of logistic topics. Besides the attending of basic courses in Logistics, the students are able to immerse themselves in several logi-stic topics, such as Trade, Produc-tion and Traffi c Logistics, through the respective modular courses.

Thereby, a combination of different teaching methods is applied, such as lectures, tutorials, case studies, team tasks and excursions. Besides, a growing number of lectures are being offered in English.

External speakers

The teachings benefi t especially from the engagement of visiting lecturers from the business world. For many years, external lecturers, such as Prof. Dr. Klinkner (Knorr Bremse AG), Dr. Wolff (4fl ow AG), Prof. Dr. Prümper (Consultant) and Mr. Dipl.-Ing. Krokowski (GPS-Logistics) are teaching at the Department of Logi-stics. Since the winter term 2005/2006, Dr. Jürgens, director of the division Intermodal of Deutsche Bahn Logistics, enriches the area of Traffi c and Transport.

Practical experience orientation

In order to teach a holistic under-standing of Logistics in a use-oriented way, in the course IT-based logis-tics Planning, for example, logistical planning and steering methods are taught on the example of SAP. On the basis of continuous case studies, soft-ware solutions in the areas Enterprise Resource Planning, Logistics Execu-tion and Supply Chain Management (APO®) are being taught.

A further cornerstone of the education is project-orientation. In cooperation with companies (Finow Automotive GmbH, ALBA AG, Woolworth GmbH & Co. KG, IKEA GmbH & Co. KG), the students are working on real practical projects throughout several months. This way, the logistical education at TU Berlin is, on one hand, matching the growing scope of logistical tasks and ensures on the other hand practical-oriented teachings.

Students

The main target group of the lectures are students of Industrial Manage-ment and Business. The process-oriented and application-oriented conception of the lectures is a reason why every term around 250 students from more the 20 nations in the course of there advanced study period are attending courses of the Depart-ment of Logistics.

Module - Logistik

Grundlagen

Today, companies are facing the challenge to successfully manage the complexity, emerged through interna-tional growth, and, at the same time, to stay competitive.

Logistics, with its tasks of coordina-tion, planning and steering of the corporate activities throughout the supply chain, maintains a crucial role here. It forms a cross-sectional func-tion within the company and has a cross-functional and trans-sectoral character.

Logistics benefi ts from fi ndings in the fi elds of business administra-tion, materials handling, productive technology, traffi c systems and infor-matics. This overall approach as well as the process-orientation of Logistics shall be covered within this module.

The lecture aims to prepare the students for subsequent lectures within the graduate studies of Logi-stics as well as to teach application-oriented knowledge for the professi-onal life of bachelor graduates.

Grown competitive pressure infl uences companies

The sales markets of industry and trade are today shaped by conside-rably higher fl uctuations than 5 years ago. Clients act more changeful, product life cycles and runtimes of many service provider contracts are shortened. The ongoing Internationa-lization, which drives the continuing process of concentration in many branches, adds up to that.

Today, more than ever before, compa-nies have to face a grown competi-tive pressure and need to align value creation networks internationally and improve them continuously.

Coordinate global value crea-tion networks

The ability of companies to source, produce and distribute their goods internationally as well as to coordi-nate activities with value creation partners throughout different stages, is already today in many branches the basic requirement for competitive operating.

Constraints in this area become barriers for growth while compa-nies with special skills can generate here competitive advantages through particular customer value.

Manage growth in emerging markets

The increasing shifting of world-economic balances through the rapid development in the emerging markets of Eastern Europe and Asia, especially China and India, lead to a continuous expansion of the global market.

Companies who want to be competi-tive tomorrow think about the optimal location of logistic and production sites as well as establishment and preservation of a reliable supplier basis. While production managers are planning new plants in China and logisticians are integrating new facili-ties in existing networks, purchasing agents are today working on establi-shing suppliers for the support of the production in emerging markets.

Information technologies are thereby an essential tool for the increase of logistical productiveness and entre-preneurial goods and services. Today already many basic processes can only be operated effi ciently and effec-tively by means of powerful infor-mation technology. Thus, the core of informational processing in produ-cing companies is being operated by Enterprise Resource Planning Systems which show a continuously increasing bandwidth of functions.

Module - Logistik in Industrie und Handel

Growing client requirements request intelligent logistic solutions

The development from a sellers’ market to a buyers’ market led in recent years to a change of the client’s value in industry and retail.

Innovative concepts and the fl exible reaction on client needs gain more and more signifi cance for the corpo-rate success. Besides, retail as well as production operate on international procurement and sales markets in order to benefi t from cost advantages and growth potentials.

Accurate and holistic logistics for production

Producing companies see themselves facing an increasingly ambitious competitive environment with high requirements in quality, costs and lead time.

For the coping with this complex challenge, the design of produc-tion structures is of crucial signi-fi cance. Leading companies make use of the potentials of cooperation here, increase the integration of upstream and downstream processes into production and concentrate on their core competencies by means of outsourcing.

Furthermore, the adaption and enhancements of excellent methods and concepts guarantee a continuous improvement.

High complexity and high dynamics form the general conditions of retail

German retail sector has been marked for many years by continuous change. In spite of stagnating turno-vers in retail trade and extremely short spreads, the extension of the sales area capacities increases.

In the face of this development, the optimization of logistics is crucial for the long-term success of trade companies. An extremely broad assortment of goods, which in large parts need refrigeration in different zones of temperature as well as a complex structure of sources and drains (very high number of suppliers and stores) form thereby just a part of the challenges in trade logistics.

In the course of increasing internatio-nalisation of trade, fl awlessly working logistics are requested at market entries in new and partially weakly infrastructured markets.

Module - Verkehrslogistik

New challenges in worldwide transport networks

The ongoing containerization of inter-national trade puts new economic and ecologic challenges to today’s trans-port networks.

The future challenge will be here to safely estimate the changes of mobi-lity of goods and persons in order to be able to react with the correct corporate and logistic strategies.

Integrated transport networks are prerequisite for effi cient traffi c logistics

The steering of inter- and intraconti-nental commodity fl ows can only be guaranteed in the future on basis of integrated transport networks. Within the mentioned framework it is signi-fi cantly important to guarantee the effi ciency of process operation as well as environmental compatibility of the carrier selection. The integration of infrastructures and the creation of intermodality of the carriers is prere-quisite for an effi cient and ecologically sustainable design of the networks.

Internationalization of economy infl uences global transport streams

The service and information society increases its requirements on mobility and logistics. Tendencies of interna-tionalization lead to higher streams of communication and, above all, to increasing integration of commodity fl ows.

The percentage of globally sourced goods is currently at about 40% - an increase up to half of the procure-ment volume on a value basis by 2010.

The fast growing world commerce comes along with a signifi cant increase of tension in global transport networks through rapidly growing container transports in air and sea freight.

On one hand, the existing main routes between Northern America and Asia as well as Europe and America will increase their traffi c load and, on the other hand, new routes will gain signifi cance. Thus, cargo traffi c within China is expected to experience an annual growth of 10%.

Students of Industrial Engineering and Management and other study courses can write their diploma thesis, master thesis etc at the Department of Logistics. Thesis can be written as pure theory work or in combination with practical work of the students.

Options of cooperation

There are substantial cooperation agreements with industry, trade and service companies, where the students can work on practical problems. The cooperation refers to German fi rst-class companies like Audi, Bayer, BMW, Adtranz/Bombardier, Bertelsmann, Bosch, Braun, Daimler, Deutsche Bahn, Lufthansa, Lufthansa Cargo AG, Frankfurt/Main Airport, Gildemeister, Gilette, Kühne & Nagel, Porsche, Quelle, Schering, Schindler, Siemens, Volkswagen and others.

Requirements

These papers request a great amount of independence and come with an on-site stay of several months. Therefore, this form is especially suitable for diploma or master thesis, which should be written at the end of the course of studies in order not to collide with exams or lectures. Furthermore, the student brings in a high standard of knowledge at this point of time.

Prerequisites

The requested knowledge for writing papers must be proven by the students at the beginning of the work by successfully having passed the main exam in Logistics. Because of the high demand for diploma thesis, we can’t except all requests in order to keep up the quality of supervision.

In any case, a consultation with the Department of Logistics is compulsory before fi nding and granting a topic. The granting of a topic will be done by Prof. Straube in coordination with an assistant.

The supervision will be done by an assistant corresponding to his work or research focus.

Guide

The current offerings for thesis can be found on the homepage of the Department of Logistics or on the homepage of the research assistant.

For further information on procedure and writing of thesis, you can fi nd there a guide (Anleitung zur gestal-tung von Studien- und Diplomar-beiten) that contains advice on struc-turing of thesis in concentrated form.

Students who want to write a paper at the Department of Logistics shall contact Mr. Arnfried Nagel fi rst.
