Examination

Written, winter & summer. The participation in the re-examination is also open for students taking part for the first time. These examinations take place in the regular examination period. The dates will be indicated by the examination office - not by the chair.

The regular written examination in the winter term accounts for 80% of the total grade and is complemented by a supplementary term assignment, containing four case studies which account for 20% of the final grade.

In the sommer term the written examination for participants taking the exam for the first time accounts for 100% of the total grade. Therefore, the contents of the case studies are very important for the summer term's examination.

If a student generates the supplementary term assignment and registers for the examination, but, however, cannot take part in the examination or fails the examination, the supplementary term assignement will be transferred to the re-examination taking place in the summer term. The re-examination is the same exam as for students taking part for the first time.

If a student generates the supplementary term assignment and does not register for the examination, the supplementary term assignment expires.

The supplementary term assignment can only be transferred to the next term. If the student fails the total examination of Supply Chain Management in the summer term, the supplementary term assignment of the winter term expires. The reasons for the failure in the examination cannot be considered.

The examination has to be passed with 4,0 (scale from 1,0 to 5), in order to pass the total Supply Chain Management examination.

The master seminar deals with selected topics form the fileds of controlling, logistics and supply chain management.?

Content

During the winter semester of 2024/2025, the seminar will seek to develop solutions for the efficient calculation of toll costs for truck transports in Europe. In light of the increasing road usage costs, it is of paramount importance for shippers to incorporate these accurately into their offers. Although the transportation of goods is typically between specific locations, the calculations will be applied to regions to determine toll rates for different regional pairs. The objective of the seminar is to develop a model for calculating toll costs using navigation service in order to facilitate the rapid and cost-effective resolution of queries. Furthermore, the model will be developed in a manner that allows for minimal queries and straightforward updates in the event of changes to the toll rules.?
