Logistics (CELOG – Prof. Hans Henrik Hvolby)

Focus of CELOG:• Tools and techniques to analyse, plan, optimise, integrate, track and trace

logistic

operations

Sample project:

ECO3 - Diagnostic Performance Analyser:

• Enable the enterprise practitioner to diagnose the gaps in efficiency

performance and

deploy maximal improvement effort towards market prioritised KPIs.

• Enable the enterprise practitioner to analyse and model the performance gaps

between the required customer quality features and the features of the current

product portfolio with the allied goal of maximising the economic and ecological

performance of the enterprise and production network.

• Deploy the holistic industrial model to combine better performing decisions at

each

stage of the Product and Process lifecycle for operational efficiency with

product and

process sustainability decisions.
