Native organizations units: Department of Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management, Chair of Quality, Effectiveness and Logistics

General information:

Category	Professional-applicative
Scientific or art field	Quality, Effectiveness and Logistics
ECTS	5

Curs will introduce students to a method of determining the necessary equipment, personnel, cost and time required for the efficient and effective management of logistics processes from the standpoint of reducing environmental pollution (at minimal cost) of logistic processes.

After completing course and passing the exam, students will be able to identify all of the negative environmental impacts generated by poorly organized and managed logistics processes. Students will also be able to design, establish and manage a successful logistics process, from the point of minimum costs and protecting the environment.

In the educational objective of the subject outcomes structure of the course is as follows: Area of application of reverse and green logistics, Product retrieval - forecasting, reverse logistics networks design, vehicle routing, product handling (materials) reverse logistics, storage products (materials) reverse logistics, Harmonization of reverse and green logistics with other supply chain processes and analysis of the success of the reverse and green logistics process, Motivators and barriers for the implementation of reverse and green logistics.

Lectures with examples of analysis of logistics processes, practical exercises where students analyze the detailed methods of managing logistics processes from the point of view of environmental protection and minimum cost of logistic processes. Written exam.
