Description
This Seminar is part of the Applied Analytics and Optimization module.
Supply Chain Management is an area where many optimization problems have to be solved. In this seminar, students learn to (1) structure relevant decision problems in supply chain management, (2) build a practically relevant mathematical model, (3) implement and solve the problem with Microsoft™ Excel®, and (4) interpret the results. Although spread-sheet models (e.g. based on Excel) are not suitable for very large and data intense optimization problems in supply chain management, they offer an intuitive access to analytical problem solving and optimization, and do not require any programming skills. In practice, they oftentimes turn out to be very useful when quick and pragmatic problem solving is required.

The Chair of Logistics and Quantitative Methods offers supervision of internships for Bachelor students. Internships lasting for three weeks can be completed with 5 ECTS points without being graded. Six week (minimum) internships yield 10 ECTS points, whereby the following areas contribute to the final grade: internship report (50%), presentation (25%) and employer’s letter of reference (25%).
Admission Requirements
- The internship must be related to Logistics, Purchasing, or Supply Chain Management
- There is a person of contact, who accompanies the internship from the corporate side
- The company must provide a contract or written confirmation of the internship

Internship Report
- The formal requirements of the internship will be stipulated in the compulsory seminar: Scientific Work. The next date can be found here.

- for an internship of more than 6 weeks: appr. 15 pages
- Structure:
- Present company and department
