Content

During this seminar practical problems are solved in groups. Each group of five students is responsible for the analysis and presentation of a practical problem. Each year, several companies are approached to provide the students with their practical problems in the field of production and logistics so that the students are given the opportunity to gain practical experience. The solutions are presented to the fellow students and staff of the concerned company. Active participation is required.

Course material

None

Format: more information

Each group of students should make a thorough analysis of the problem and suggest a solution on that basis.This should result in a paper of about 25 pages, which is also presented to the other students and the representatives of the company concerned. Students should be in regular contact with the teacher and the work leader (at least every three weeks) and the contact from the company so they can be responsive.
