Lesson Content

0% Complete 0/1 Steps

Logistics is the process of planning, implementing, and controlling the efficient, effective flow and storage of goods, services, and related information from point of origin to point of consumption to meet customer requirements. Key activities: transportation, warehousing, inventory management, order fulfillment, demand planning. The 7 Rs of logistics: right product, right quantity, right condition, right place, right time, right customer, right cost.

Lesson 2: Strategic Planning in Logistics 1 Topic

Expand

Lesson Content

0% Complete 0/1 Steps

Strategic planning aligns logistics with corporate goals over 3–10 years. Decisions include network design, mode selection, make‑vs‑buy, technology investments. Frameworks: Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) , cost‑to‑serve, balanced scorecard (financial, customer, internal process, learning/growth). Goal: trade‑off between cost and service level.

Lesson 3: Role of Technology in Logistics Strategy 1 Topic

Expand

Lesson Content

0% Complete 0/1 Steps

Technology enables visibility, efficiency, and responsiveness. Core systems: TMS (transportation management), WMS (warehouse management), IoT sensors (real‑time tracking), blockchain (secure documentation), AI/ML (demand forecasting, dynamic routing). Technology strategy must consider integration, scalability, and ROI.

Module 2: Logistics Network Design 1 Topic | 1 Quiz

Expand

Lesson Content

0% Complete 0/1 Steps

Network design determines number, location, and size of facilities (plants, warehouses, cross‑docks) and product flow. Key trade‑offs: cost vs. service, centralized vs. decentralized, push vs. pull. Outputs: total landed cost, order‑to‑delivery lead time, fill rate. Uses optimization software (e.g., Llamasoft, AIMMS).

Module 2: Logistics Network Design

Lesson 1: Network Design Fundamentals 1 Topic

Expand

Lesson Content

0% Complete 0/1 Steps

Steps: 1) Define objectives (cost, service, sustainability). 2) Collect data (demand, supply, rates, costs). 3) Model scenarios. 4) Validate with sensitivity analysis (fuel price, demand shifts). 5) Implement and monitor. Critical metrics: total landed cost, on‑time delivery, inventory turns.

Lesson 2: Network Optimization Techniques 1 Topic

Expand

Lesson Content

0% Complete 0/1 Steps

Mathematical methods: linear programming (minimize cost given constraints), mixed‑integer programming (facility location yes/no), heuristics (rule‑based for large problems), simulation (test under uncertainty). Also inventory optimization (safety stock placement across echelons).

Lesson 3: Implementing Sustainable Network Designs 1 Topic

Expand

Lesson Content

0% Complete 0/1 Steps

Sustainable design reduces carbon and waste. Tactics: green network (locate warehouses near customers), modal shift (road to rail/sea), reverse logistics integration, energy‑efficient facilities. Metrics: carbon footprint per unit shipped, waste diversion rate. Balance sustainability with cost and service.

Module 3: Sustainability and Reverse Logistics 1 Topic | 1 Quiz

Expand

Lesson Content

0% Complete 0/1 Steps

Sustainable logistics practices: collaborative distribution (share truck capacity), route optimization (reduce empty miles), eco‑driving, sustainable packaging (reusable, recycled), carbon offsets. These reduce emissions and often lower costs through efficiency.

Module 3: Sustainability and Reverse Logistics

Lesson 1: Sustainable Practices in Logistics 1 Topic

Lesson Content

Specific actions: green warehouse (LED lighting, motion sensors, electric forklifts), alternative fuels (biodiesel, electric, hydrogen), intermodal (lower emissions per ton‑mile), supplier sustainability scorecards, circular supply chain (design out waste). Measurement: Scope 1, 2, 3 emissions.

Lesson 2: Reverse Logistics Process 1 Topic

Expand

Lesson Content

0% Complete 0/1 Steps

Reverse logistics moves goods back for value recovery or disposal. Process: 1) Gatekeeping (screen returns), 2) Collection, 3) Sortation & inspection, 4) Disposition (repair, refurbish, recycle, scrap), 5) Crediting. Key metric: net recovery value (returned goods value minus processing cost).

Lesson 3: Circular Economy Concepts in Logistics 1 Topic

Expand

Lesson Content

0% Complete 0/1 Steps

Circular economy keeps resources in use. Logistics roles: reverse logistics (recover products), remanufacturing (rebuild to like‑new), refurbishing (cosmetic repairs), parts harvesting, recycling. Closed‑loop supply chains coordinate forward and reverse flows. Example: Dell collects used computers for component reuse.

Module 4: Capacity Planning and Demand Management 1 Topic | 1 Quiz

Lesson Content

Capacity = maximum throughput (warehouse pallet positions, truck hours, sortation lines). Strategies: lead (add capacity ahead of demand), lag (add after demand exceeds), match (small increments). Adjustment levers: overtime, temp labor, subcontracting, sharing capacity.

Forecasting methods: qualitative (expert opinion, Delphi – used when little history), time series (moving average, exponential smoothing, trend projection), causal (regression with GDP, weather), machine learning (neural networks). Accuracy metrics: MAD, MSE, MAPE. Always add safety stock.

Lesson 3: Balancing Capacity and Demand 1 Topic

Expand

Lesson Content

0% Complete 0/1 Steps

When demand > capacity → lost sales, expedited costs. When capacity > demand → waste. Balancing tactics: demand‑side (off‑peak pricing, promotions, backorders), supply‑side (temp labor, overtime, 3PL overflow), inventory buffer, yield management (allocate capacity to highest‑value orders).

Module 5: Order Management 1 Topic | 1 Quiz

Order management cycle: 1) Order entry, 2) Validation (credit, inventory), 3) Sourcing (which warehouse), 4) Picking & packing, 5) Shipping, 6) Delivery & confirmation. Goal: short, consistent order cycle time. Systems: EDI, web portals, WMS integration.

Module 5: Order Management

Lesson 1: Order Processing and Fulfillment 1 Topic

Expand

Lesson Content

0% Complete 0/1 Steps

Fulfillment strategies: direct‑to‑customer (DTC) from DC, store fulfillment (ship‑from‑store), drop shipping (supplier ships directly), cross‑docking (no storage). Automation: pick‑to‑light, voice picking, AMRs. Metrics: order fill rate, on‑time shipping rate, order accuracy.

Lesson 2: Order Accuracy and Customer Service 1 Topic

Expand

Lesson Content

0% Complete 0/1 Steps

Order accuracy = complete, damage‑free, correct documentation, correct invoicing. Components: item accuracy, condition accuracy (e.g., temperature), documentation accuracy, timing accuracy (on‑time). Customer service: proactive tracking, delay alerts, easy returns. Perfect Order Index = on‑time% × complete% × damage‑free% × doc accurate%.

Lesson 3: Managing Order Variability 1 Topic

Expand

Lesson Content

0% Complete 0/1 Steps

Causes: promotions, seasonality, random behavior. Mitigation: demand smoothing (forward buying), order throttling (limit acceptance), dynamic safety stock (increase when variability high), flexible transportation (spot market), collaborative planning (share signals with suppliers/3PLs).
