competencies/skills: |
• Students will participate in the Pro-Seminar Supply Chain Management (SCM) (82-021-PS07-H-0507). Additionally to the requirements of the Pro-Seminar students will implement the corresponding data models, simulation models, or optimization models in a software system and carry through numeric analysis. The module will transmit the following competencies:
– Students will learn to work independently and scientifically on specific topics.
– Students will learn the methods of scientific working, for example literature research, citing, etc.
– Students will learn to implement data models, simulation models, or optimization models; as well as analyzing them with respect to economic problems.
– Students get used to basics of project management and teamwork.
– Students will learn to present a topic in a structured and comprehensible way in front of a group of experts.
– After having participated in this module students will have a basic knowledge of Supply Chain Management and will be able to provide transfer services in this context.
• In order to achieve these competencies we expect from the students an above average personal commitment as well as close coordination with the lecturer.
|
recommended qualifications: |
• Advanced studies, from 4th semester onwards.
• Basic knowledge of software development, specific software tools and/or programming languages with reference to data analysis.
|
requirements for the attainment of ECTS points: |
• Performance record assessed with at least “sufficient” of portfolio.
• Due to the competencies, a combination of different examination modalities is necessary.
• The paper has to be elaborated with respect to the requirement of the faculty and should not exceed 20 pages.
• For the presentation, a time of 20 minutes is scheduled followed by 10 minutes of discussion. The presentations will be held in blocks of 3 topics; the students should additionally prepare a final discussion for the corresponding block concerning all the topics of this block.
• The proceeding while elaboration the paper as well as the teamwork within one of these blocks will be part of the grading.
