Design of Logistics Concepts for Efficient Supply Chains

Designing Products from a Logistic Perspective

Product development process has become globally distributed with activities spread out both physically and at times, incorporating suppliers and customers. Design is a key competitive capability that is often neglected in the management of supply chains.

The design of a product is a starting point not only for its improvement of the physical characteristics, but also in the area of other conditions having impact on its logistics efficiency.

A logistically efficient product will be understood as goods or service that has a number of features which facilitate or support logistics management of this product or service.

Objectives: The purpose of the course is to provide you with extended skills and insights into how to develop, adjust and coordinate logistics concepts in the supply, production and distribution functions in an integral chain of operations, meeting the customer’s needs.

Participants: This course is for you, who work with logistic issues within product and packaging development, production planning, production engineering, inventory management, distribution, transportation, and other business positions related to the integrated flow of materials and information.

Qualifications: Previous knowledge is required. It is preferable that you have some work experience from areas related to plan, source, make or delivery functions.
