Page 3/38Module handbook for the master program in Global Logistics (M.Sc.)1. Qualification objectivesGraduates of the Master's degree program in Global Logistics (M.Sc.) are qualified to pursue a professional careerin nationally and internationally operating logistics companies and respective departments in all industries as wellas corresponding associations and organizations or to pursue a doctorate.They are able to identify current logistical challenges within the area of global trade and facing individualcompanies and have in-depth technical and methodological competence in the fields of logistics and transporteconomics.Graduates are able to independently identify, analyze and develop solutions to complex issues and problems invarious logistical sub-areas, particularly using the quantitative methodological skills in the areas of planning,coordination, scheduling and production, as well as in purchasing or distribution, and to develop practicalsolutions suitable for the real world. Using the reflection and judgement skills acquired in the program, they caninterpret relevant findings and derive well-founded recommendations for action.They are able to independently develop scientific questions based on the current state of research, deriveresearch approaches, and to process and document them using scientific procedures and methods. Graduates canpresent their own research results and complex topics to members of both the business community and scientificcommunity in a manner appropriate to the respective target group and exchange information with them in amanner relevant to the field. Even in new and unfamiliar situations they will be able to use their technicalknowledge and IT skills to critically evaluate and weigh information and to draw practical conclusions that taketransport economics, business and social aspects into account.Through application-oriented logistical project work, graduates have learned to structure, manage, lead and takeresponsibility in cooperation with others. They are able to reflect on their own role in the team, assume that roleand drive decision-making processes forward. This enables them to apply their practical and scientific knowledgeindependently and in a manner appropriate to the situation. Graduates can plan and carry out projectsmethodically supported at management level independently and act as consultants, project managers orexecutives.These are important building blocks of their professional and personal development as well as their ownentrepreneurial, social and ethical responsibility.FBR-Beschluss vom 19.12.2018Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences - FB 3: Business and Law

They are also able to execute determination applymethods of material requirements planning.Students can recognize as well as evaluate contrary the requirements of logistics andproduction. In particular, the students develop an understanding for the needs ofproduction and how to implement those.Students understand value chain based organizational structures of companies and theircorresponding logistical requirements (network structure, flow principles) and maydescribe logistical structures and contents.The participants analyse and describe logistic-related trends and strategies for the mainindustries plus the consequences on the (inter-) national logistics.Students enhance and deepen their knowledge along the value stream chain ofcompanies and their logistical competencies while deepening their knowledge of thelogistical function in the context of the procurement, production, distribution andremoval.The students can describe and execute the methods of production planning and controlas well as quality management. Students are capable of explain coherencies of outboundlogistics planning (especially transport planning) and to overview operating figures of theoutbound logistics.Through application-oriented logistical project work graduates have learned to structure,manage, lead and take responsibility in cooperation with others.
