Tools for networked logistics
At the Chair of Enterprise Logistics, we bring scientific findings directly into application. Under the motto "Ready to use!", we bundle digital tools and flexible learning formats on this page that make complex topics tangible and directly usable. These freely accessible resources support students and specialists in independently developing important skills for data-driven practice.
Here you will find practical instruments such as our skill measurement tool for procurement and interactive online courses on modern supply management. In addition, our machine learning self-study course offers the opportunity to acquire directly applicable AI skills through real-life challenges. Use these open offerings to efficiently develop your skills and make your processes fit for the future.
AI in practice
With the MachineLearnAthon a new, challenge-based self-study course was developed as part of an Erasmus+ cooperation, which teaches machine learning in an understandable, practical and application-oriented way.
Get started with Python programming using real logistics data. This self-study course guides you step by step to your own machine learning model - without any prior knowledge.
Your profile on the test bench
Advancing digitalization is rapidly changing the skills required in procurement. In order to optimally support specialists in this transformation, the European research project EXPERTISE has developed an innovative and free skill measurement tool. With this digital instrument, buyers can assess their individual skills in a structured way - based on 107 specific skills from seven key subject areas.

Understanding global networks
At the center of the project PERSIST project focuses on analyzing the role of purchasing and supply chain management (PSM) in the age of Industry 4.0 (machine-to-machine communication). This topic is developing rapidly and higher education must adapt to the integration of new content and new forms of education. New skills are needed, resulting in the need for new, interactive and student-centered teaching approaches. The project members see the opportunity to use the technological changes to support future education. A customized education system will help to develop future skills.
Learn how modern supply chains work and are managed in this interactive format. Acquire practical knowledge to make complex networks efficient and crisis-proof.
Becoming a flexible purchasing professional
More than half of the total turnover of a modern industrial company in Europe flows directly to suppliers, and the majority of deliveries no longer come from within the country, but from Europe and around the world. Network economies with little vertical integration and high dependence on international suppliers present companies with the challenge of coping with complexity and new responsibilities. There is no standardized skills profile and competence requirements for procurement and supply chain management (PSM).
This course is the result of the Erasmus+ project PERFECT project, which is developing a harmonized curriculum for PSM and aims to increase the number of highly qualified students suitable for entry into PSM-related professions in organizations of any size and in any industrial setting.
