Objectives
Purpose:
Understanding the role of different transportation modes in Global transportation chain is a basic knowledge of logistics engineer. In this course you will understand the purpose of rail-, road, air- and sea transportation as part of the Global supply chain and acknowledging the requirements of sustainable development. As a result of this course you will get knowledge of the operation environment and utilization possibilities of the main regulations, especially from the service user’s viewpoint
Knowledge and understanding:
You recognize the differences between modes of transport and the technical solutions for road, rail, air, sea and combined transport.
Research and information search:
You can make informed choices about appropriate solutions for the use of different modes of transport as part of a logistics system. You can analyse a solution and draw simple conclusions from the overall picture.
Engineering in practice:
You will consider the role of transport modes in the logistics operations of companies and understand the impact of solutions from the perspective of the service user.
Content
