Cíle předmětu
Business Logistics is the introductory graduate course. The objective of the course is to give students a managerial knowledge of basic logistics concepts and principles. The first part of the course focuses on the logistics of an individual firm. The students will be able to discuss the basic logistic principles (like managemenet of logistics cost integration, customer service) in transportation, warehousing, production and in purchasing and distribution. Emphasis is placed on the analysis, planning, and management of activities that serve to value-add to the strategic positioning of a firm to increase its competitive position. Students will be able to apply the selected methods and tools used in logistics. The second part of the course aims to long term relationships with customers and suppliers i.e. supply chain management (SCM). Therefore the distinction between logistics and supply chain management is examined in the first step and a framework for supply chain management is discussed afterwards. As successful SCM requires cross-functional integration of key business processes within the all network members, the key business processes are analysed. Emphasis is placed on aligning effective marketing strategy and SCM with overall business strategy. Special attention of the course is paid to the ablity of students to examine information and communication technologies and to environmental issues in logistics.
