4. SuMO_Green Logistics and Operations

The Module “Green Logistics and Operations” examines how to design and manage environmentally and socially responsible logistics and operations processes from an organizational, technological, and behavioral perspective. Following initiatives like the European Green Deal, students will discuss principles, practices, and innovative concepts for developing more sustainable logistics and operations management solutions along the supply chain. The course will take a holistic perspective on this topic, including a variety of topics in this field. An emphasis will be, for example, on carbon measurement, innovative mobility services and propulsion technologies in transportation, and sustainable warehousing and storage strategies. Students will learn how to critically judge solution approaches and propose their own ideas towards sustainable logistics and operations processes. The students will analyze cases, play hands-on learning games, and prepare and record podcast episodes to deepen their knowledge and to practice applying the principles and theories discussed to real-world problems of businesses operating on a global scale. Students are encouraged to interpret the concepts discussed in the context of their own professional experience.
