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 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 probelm definition, 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
• Simulation in companies
• Modeling process and implementation aids, including examples

Important note: This course is part of an 6 ECTS module consisting of two courses "Entrepreneurship” & “Creation of Business Opportunities”, which have to be taken together in one semester.

Startups are temporary, team-based organizations, which can form both within and outside of established companies, to pursue one central objective: taking a new venture idea to market by designing a business model that can be scaled to a full-grown company. In this course, students will form startup teams around self-selected ideas and run through the process just like real startups would do in the first three months of intensive work. Startup Engineering takes an incremental and iterative approach, in that it favors variety and alternatives over one detailed, linear five-year business plan to reach steady state operations. From a problem solving and systems thinking perspective, student teams create different possible versions of a new venture and alternative hypotheses about value creation for customers and value capture vis-à-vis competitors. We will draw on recent scientific findings about international success factors of new venture design. To test critical hypotheses early on, student teams engage in scientific, evidence-based, experimental trial-and-error learning process that measures real progress.
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:
· Apply a modern innovation toolkit relevant in both the corporate & startup world
· Analyze given business opportunities in terms of its constituent elements
· Design new business models by gathering and combining relevant ideas, facts and information 
· Evaluate business opportunities and derive judgment about next steps & decisions
Course language is English, but participants can decide to give their graded presentations in German. Students are invited to apply to this course module already with a startup idea and/ or team, but this is not a requirement! We will form teams and ideas in the beginning of the course. Class meetings have alternate intervals of lecture inputs, teamwork, mentoring, and peer feedback. Attendance is mandatory for at least 80% of class time due to large proportion of teamwork sessions.
Student teams give three presentations and submit them with backup analyses. Grading scheme:
· Startup discovery presentation after 5 weeks: 30%
· Startup validation presentation after 10 weeks: 30%
· Final startup pitches after 13 weeks: 40%

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 general tasks of maritime logistics include the planning, design, implementation and control of material and information flows in the logistics chain ship - port - hinterland. The aim of the course is to provide students with knowledge of maritime transport and the actors involved in the maritime transport chain. Typical problem areas and tasks will be dealt with, taking into account the economic development. Thus, classical problems as well as current developments and trends in the field of maritime logistics are considered.

In the lecture, the components of the maritime logistics chain and the actors involved will be examined and risk assessments of human disturbances on the supply chain will be developed. In addition, students learn to estimate the potential of digitisation in maritime shipping, especially with regard to the monitoring of ships. In addition, students are able to design operational planning for fleets of container or tramp vessels. Further content of the lecture is the different modes of transport in the hinterland, which students can evaluate after completion of the course regarding their advantages and disadvantages.
