| Learning Outcomes
Students know the relevance of transport logistics and are able to evaluate different scenarios with the help of suitable modelling approaches and optimization tools to support decision-making and derive robust recommendations for action for real decision-making situations in transport logistics.

Learning Outcomes
- LO2: Students understand the relationship between the planning level and the solution methodology to be selected.
- LO3: Students are able to apply a software-supported solution methodology on the basis of adequate modeling for a practical case study.
- LO4: Students are able to classify and evaluate different solution scenarios.
- LO5: Students can derive robust recommendations for practical implementation from the different solution scenarios.
|
Learning Outcomes
- LO1: Students know the necessary modeling approaches and how these are translated into the modeling language of a decision support tool.

| Criteria for evaluation |
Students can achieve a maximum of 60 points in total; these are made up as follows:
- the five case studies to be solved in the course earn a maximum of 5 points each;
- the presentation of the selected case study is awarded a maximum of 5 points;
- the seminar paper ideally contributes a further 30 points.
- AD 1): Different tasks are to be solved for each case study, which earn between 0.5 and 2.5 points depending on their complexity and effort. It is irrelevant whether the task was solved correctly (in terms of the result); the students only have to be able to explain the solution and argue the result. The best approaches to solving a case study can earn further bonus points, which are added to the case study assessment.
- AD 2) The content of the presentation (clear objective, addressing key points, logical consistency) as well as the visual/didactic presentation are assessed. A specified (relatively short) presentation time must be adhered to.
- AD 3) The following criteria are assessed for the seminar paper: Formal correctness, number and quality of illustrations, meaningful summary, comprehensible and practical case study as core content, summary of previous scientific work on the topic, modeling, solution approach, scenario building and derivation of clear implementation recommendations.
The following grading scheme is used:
| Points | Grade |
|---|
| 53.0 - 60.0 | 1 |
| 45.0 - 52.5 | 2 |
| 38.0 - 44.5 | 3 |
| 30.0 - 37.5 | 4 |
| 0.0 - 29.5 | 5 |
|
| Methods |
- Case studies: A different case study from practice is dealt with at each session, on the basis of which modeling, methodological approaches and solution scenarios are discussed and evaluated.
