UK ABWL Production and Logistics II

The successful completion of the VO ABWL Production and Logistics is required for the registration for an UK ABWL Production und Logistics.

According to the new curriculum for Business Administration (since WS 2014) and International Business Administration (since WS 2014) the STEOP has to be completed first. A total of 5 ABWL modules have to be completed during the core phase, one of which is Production and Logistics. Like most ABWL modules it consists of two parts, the first of which is the lecture (VO 3 ECTS). In order to be able to classify and deal with the contents presented in the UK, an understanding of the topics covered in the lecture is required.

During the course it is required to solve exercises using a Computer. These exercises can and should be solved by using the Excel Solver. For this reason the revision of the topics covered in the course Information Technology is recommended. The script for this course is available during the first session and at the office of the Production and Logistics chair. Reading the script does not replace attendance during the course (mandatory attendance according to the curriculum).
