Innovative teaching for innovative supply chain managers

Study at the LFO

Our teaching is based on innovative and student-centered methods that use interactive and practical approaches to make learning exciting and goal-oriented. It is important to us not only to impart knowledge, but also to equip our students with the right tools and methods for their future careers in research and industry. To this end, we align ourselves with the state of the art of university teaching and design all courses according to the constructive alignment principle and meaningful learning objectives. In addition, we are constantly developing our courses further and rely on new innovative concepts such as the flipped classroom approach, which enable application-centered teaching. In this way, we support the development of knowledge and skills that are necessary to solve today's and tomorrow's challenges and make our contribution to training the supply chain managers of tomorrow!

Innovative teaching for innovative supply chain managers

Our teaching philosophy

Students learn the basic principles of business logistics and the tools required to apply them by

  • acquiring knowledge independently with the help of the material provided,
  • testing methods together in different scenarios and understanding their application,
  • linking knowledge and methods with each other,
  • classify their relevance for practice and science, and
  • abstract this within the overall context,

to use what they have learned to manage the challenges of logistics in practice and to generate new findings in science in order to consolidate and continuously develop the domain.
