Master

Logistics, Infrastructure and Mobility

Cohort: Winter Term 2016

Updated: 8th July 2017

Program description

Content

Efficient delivery of goods, persons and services to satisfy deadlines and customers is now a critical success factor in the production of complex products in globally networked companies. Logistics specialists control and design the flows within and between business enterprises. Logistics requires a functioning transport infrastructure, which is also a prerequisite for the mobility of persons. Transport systems give human beings access to workplaces, educational institutions, leisure and shopping facilities. Therefore, the efficient and environmentally friendly movement of persons and goods is an important future challenge in a society based on the division of labor.

The design and control of networked logistics systems from both the micro- and macroeconomic viewpoint requires in particular the ability to understand complex interrelations, appropriate method and process competence, and the requisite knowledge of engineering, economics, and fundamental social parameters. The interdisciplinary Master Program in Logistics, Infrastructure and Mobility therefore follows an engineering orientation, imparts the necessary economic knowledge, and enables students to specialize in either Production and Logistics or Transport and Mobility. For the first time, this program links the two promising subjects Logistics and Transport, which are often planned separately, thereby opening up new career prospects.

Module M0524: Nontechnical Elective Complementary Courses for Master

Module Responsible Dagmar Richter
Admission Requirements None
Recommended Previous Knowledge None
Educational Objectives After taking part successfully, students have reached the following learning results
Professional Competence
Knowledge

The Nontechnical Academic Programms (NTA)

imparts skills that, in view of the TUHH’s training profile, professional engineering studies require but are not able to cover fully. Self-reliance, self-management, collaboration and professional and personnel management competences. The department implements these training objectives in its teaching architecture, in its teaching and learning arrangements, in teaching areas and by means of teaching offerings in which students can qualify by opting for specific competences and a competence level at the Bachelor’s or Master’s level. The teaching offerings are pooled in two different catalogues for nontechnical complementary courses.

The Learning Architecture

consists of a cross-disciplinarily study offering. The centrally designed teaching offering ensures that courses in the nontechnical academic programms follow the specific profiling of TUHH degree courses.

The learning architecture demands and trains independent educational planning as regards the individual development of competences. It also provides orientation knowledge in the form of “profiles”.

The subjects that can be studied in parallel throughout the student’s entire study program - if need be, it can be studied in one to two semesters. In view of the adaptation problems that individuals commonly face in their first semesters after making the transition from school to university and in order to encourage individually planned semesters abroad, there is no obligation to study these subjects in one or two specific semesters during the course of studies.

Teaching and Learning Arrangements

provide for students, separated into B.Sc. and M.Sc., to learn with and from each other across semesters. The challenge of dealing with interdisciplinarity and a variety of stages of learning in courses are part of the learning architecture and are deliberately encouraged in specific courses.

Fields of Teaching

are based on research findings from the academic disciplines cultural studies, social studies, arts, historical studies, communication studies, migration studies and sustainability research, and from engineering didactics. In addition, from the winter semester 2014/15 students on all Bachelor’s courses will have the opportunity to learn about business management and start-ups in a goal-oriented way.

The fields of teaching are augmented by soft skills offers and a foreign language offer. Here, the focus is on encouraging goal-oriented communication skills, e.g. the skills required by outgoing engineers in international and intercultural situations.

The Competence Level

of the courses offered in this area is different as regards the basic training objective in the Bachelor’s and Master’s fields. These differences are reflected in the practical examples used, in content topics that refer to different professional application contexts, and in the higher scientific and theoretical level of abstraction in the B.Sc.

This is also reflected in the different quality of soft skills, which relate to the different team positions and different group leadership functions of Bachelor’s and Master’s graduates in their future working life.

Specialized Competence (Knowledge)

Students can

  • explain specialized areas in context of the relevant non-technical disciplines,
  • outline basic theories, categories, terminology, models, concepts or artistic techniques in the disciplines represented in the learning area,
  • different specialist disciplines relate to their own discipline and differentiate it as well as make connections, 
  • sketch the basic outlines of how scientific disciplines, paradigms, models, instruments, methods and forms of representation in the specialized sciences are subject to individual and socio-cultural interpretation and historicity,
  • Can communicate in a foreign language in a manner appropriate to the subject.
Skills

Professional Competence (Skills)

In selected sub-areas students can

  • apply basic and specific methods of the said scientific disciplines,
  • aquestion a specific technical phenomena, models, theories from the viewpoint of another, aforementioned specialist discipline,
  • to handle simple and advanced questions in aforementioned scientific disciplines in a sucsessful manner,
  • justify their decisions on forms of organization and application in practical questions in contexts that go beyond the technical relationship to the subject.



Personal Competence
Social Competence

Personal Competences (Social Skills)

Students will be able

  • to explain nontechnical items to auditorium with technical background knowledge.





Autonomy

Personal Competences (Self-reliance)

Students are able in selected areas

  • to reflect on their own profession and professionalism in the context of real-life fields of application
  • to organize themselves and their own learning processes      
  • to reflect and decide questions in front of a broad education background

Content

Simulation is a relevant method in logistics research. A deeper understanding of logistics scenarios and their relationships may be achieved by modeling and analyzing the processes and interactions on different levels of detail in a simulation. Simulation experiments allow the consideration of variations of scenarios and their effect on the performance.

This lecture gives an introduction of the basic principles of simulation. It provides an overview of common simulation methods and their applications in research and companies. In particular, their advantages, disadvantages and challenges in concrete implementations are discussed. Criteria for the selection of suitable simulation methods, tools and programming languages are addressed, which should prepare the students for the application of the simulation methods. Also, a description of the research process, including modeling, designing simulation experiments, as well as communication of results, should enable the students to plan and manage a simulation project.

In particular, the lecture deals with the following topics:

  • Simulation – Definition, potentials und challenges
  • Simulation methods und applications
    • Monte-Carlo simulation
    • Discrete-event simulation
    • System dynamics
    • Agent-based simulation
  • Simulation software and tools
  • Introduction to algorithms, data types and software project management
  • Simulation in companies
  • Modeling process and implementation aids, including examples

Content

This course is supposed to provide intense hands-on experiences with the entrepreneurial process, tools and concepts discussed in the lecture “Entrepreneurship” and additional online material. At the beginning of the class, students form teams to search for and create a scalable and repeatable business opportunity. Rather than writing a comprehensive business plan or designing the perfect product, both of which are highly difficult and risky investments in the uncertain front end of any business idea, we follow a lean startup approach. Student teams will have to think about all the parts of building a business and apply the tools of business model design and customer & agile development in order optimize the search for and creation of a business opportunity. Students will start by mapping the assumptions regarding each of the part in their business model and then devote significant time on testing these hypotheses with customers and partners outside in the field (customer development). Based on the gathered information, students should realize which of their assumptions were wrong, and figure out ways how to fix it (learning events called “pivots”). The goal is to proceed in an iterative and incremental way (agile development) to build prototypes and (minimum viable) products. Throughout the course, student teams will present their lessons-learned (pivots) and how their business models have evolved based on their most important pivots.

Content

This course introduces the fundamentals of technology entrepreneurship including its economic and cultural underpinnings. It highlights the differences between mere business ideas and scalable and repeatable business opportunities. It is designed to familiarize students with the process that technology entrepreneurs use to create business opportunities and to start companies. It involves taking a technology idea and finding a high-potential commercial opportunity, gathering resources such as talent and capital, figuring out how to sell and market the idea, and managing rapid growth. The course also discusses relevant concepts and tools from entrepreneurial strategy, such as disruptive innovations, technology adoption cycles and intellectual property, as well as from entrepreneurial marketing, such as product positioning and differentiation, distribution, promotion and pricing. Particular emphasis will be put on business model design and customer development proposed in the lean startup approach. All in all, the course is supposed to create the entrepreneurial mindset of looking for technology opportunities and business solutions, where others see insurmountable problems. This mindset of turning problems into opportunities can well be generalized from startups to larger companies and other settings.

The intention of this lecture is to provide a general system analysis-based overview of how transportation chains emerge and how they are developed. The respective advantages and disadvantages of different international transportation chains of goods are to be pointed out from a micro- and a macroeconomic point of view. The effects on the traffic system as well as the ecological and social consequences of a spatial devision of economical activities are to be discussed.
The overview of current international transportation chains is carried out on the basis of concrete material- and appendant information flows. Established transportation chains and some of their individual elements are to become transparent to the students by a number of practical examples.

  1. A conceptual systems model
  2. Elements of integrated and multi-modal transportation chains
  3. interaction of transport and traffic, demand and supply on different layers of the transport system
  4. Global Issues in Supply Chain Management
  5. Global Players and networks
  6. Logistics and corporate social responsibility (CSR)
  7. Methods and data for assessment of international transport chains
  8. Influence of cultural aspects on international transport chains
  9. New solutions using different focuses of the transport and logstics system

The outstanding role of maritime transport for international trade requires efficient ports. These must meet numerous requirements in terms of profitability, speed, safety and environment. Recognising this, port logistics contains the planning, management, operation and control of material flows and the corresponding information flows in the system and its interfaces to several actors within and outside the port area. The course “Port Logistics” aims to provide skills to comprehend structures and processes in ports. It focuses on different terminal types, their characteristic layouts, the technical equipment which is used and the interaction between the actors.

The intention of this lecture is to provide a general system analysis-based overview of how transportation chains emerge and how they are developed. The respective advantages and disadvantages of different international transportation chains of goods are to be pointed out from a micro- and a macroeconomic point of view. The effects on the traffic system as well as the ecological and social consequences of a spatial devision of economical activities are to be discussed.
The overview of current international transportation chains is carried out on the basis of concrete material- and appendant information flows. Established transportation chains and some of their individual elements are to become transparent to the students by a number of practical examples.

  1. A conceptual systems model
  2. Elements of integrated and multi-modal transportation chains
  3. interaction of transport and traffic, demand and supply on different layers of the transport system
  4. Global Issues in Supply Chain Management
  5. Global Players and networks
  6. Logistics and corporate social responsibility (CSR)
  7. Methods and data for assessment of international transport chains
  8. Influence of cultural aspects on international transport chains
  9. New solutions using different focuses of the transport and logstics system

Content

The outstanding role of maritime transport for international trade requires efficient ports. These must meet numerous requirements in terms of profitability, speed, safety and environment. Recognising this, port logistics contains the planning, management, operation and control of material flows and the corresponding information flows in the system and its interfaces to several actors within and outside the port area. The course “Port Logistics” aims to provide skills to comprehend structures and processes in ports. It focuses on different terminal types, their characteristic layouts, the technical equipment which is used and the interaction between the actors.

Content The lecture gives an introduction into the planning of factories and material flows. The students will learn process models and methods to plan new factories and improve existing material flow systems. The course includes three basic topics:

(1) Analysis of factory and material flow systems

(2) Development and re-planning of factory and material flow systems

(3) Implementation and realization of factory planning

The students are introduced into several different methods and models per topic. Practical examples and planning exercises deepen the methods and explain the application of factory planning. Current trends and issues in the factory planning round off the lecture.
