Students will know the challenges and fields of action for designing global production and value-add-ing networks and will have knowledge of common methods and approaches for planning and control-ling these strategically and operationally.
Summer School students will be tasked with lecture specific project work.
Discrete event simulation of production systems is used to measure system performance based on process models. Topics include model formulation, performance evaluation, and data collection.
Fundamentals of Product Management, Methods of finding, analyzing and evaluation of industrial goods markets.
Summer School students enter this course for the pratical part and will solve case studies and industry projects in working groups.
Students learn to understand the background of globalization, the interrelationships and characteristics of international management, and the opportunities and risks of internationalization for companies.
They are able to explain and analyze and compare the particular fundamentals of the corporate strategy of various globally operating companies in the past.Students get familiar with the specific challenges of international business development relevant for product development, techniques for successful planning, implementation and control.
Summer School students will take part in lectures and project work (case studies).
Have fun in learning fundamentals of the German language for speaking skills, comprehension, pronunciation, and understanding the culture. You will join practical exercises i.e. in how to use public transport, order in a shop or restaurant.
Cultural programme or company tour included. Mandatory for all participants.
