Logistics Analysis - Period 2 Social Sciences & Humanities Program Fall 2021 Semester - Amsterdam

The course Logistics Analysis is an exciting course that will challenge you in various ways. By taking Logistics as a point of departure, we bring together several perspectives and analyze business problems faced by logistics companies. Taking a logistics perspective will stimulate you to think about organizations in a different way, bringing together knowledge from different fields and realizing that this creates challenges and conflicts that managers need to deal with. You will learn to systematically describe logistical systems, and identify problems that emerge in these systems. Moreover, this course offers you a number of tools that allow you to analyze logistical systems, optimize them, (re)design them and assess the consequences of suggested improvements. Important topics such as production management, inventory management, and maintenance management are addressed, which are essential, hands-on tools any logistics professional should be able to work with.
