The designer program Logistics Management Systems (LMS) is a 2-year program intended for young people who have already obtained a Master's degree in industrial engineering or a related field and who are interested in broadening and integrating their knowledge and skills in the field of logistics.
The program is specifically focused on designing Logistics Management Systems and is one of several technological designer programs offered by Eindhoven University of Technology, 3TU. School for Technological Design, Stan Ackermans Institute. All courses in the program are taught in English.
Upon succesful completion, participants in the program obtain the title of Professional Doctorate in Engineering (PDEng, put behind their names).
3TU.School for Technological Design, Stan Ackermans Institute has seventeen two-year full-time programs, leading to a Professional Doctorate in Engineering (PDEng). Our program offers the opportunity to broaden your knowledge and experience by means of a personal and practical design assignment, under the supervision of experienced design professionals.
You will be appointed for the duration of maximum two years. You will also become a member of the scientific staff of the TU/e and receive a salary.
Logistics Management Systems involves the organization, planning and control of the goods flow during sourcing, production and distribution in both the business and service sectors, as well as the logistical aspects of workflow management. Designing involves the entire trajectory from analysis, specification, creation and implementation of a Logistics Management System. The Logistics Management Systems to be designed covers aspects, such as the managerial structure, the accompanying information system and the logistical-technical layout. The objective is to allow business processes to work optimally, in term of costs, time and quality.
Program content
LMS is a typically profession-oriented program that alternates theory and practical assignment. The curriculum consists of a well-balanced combination of subjects of which the largest part is taught specifically within the context of this program. The package of subjects is contantly adapted to current developments in the field by means of guest lecturers and interviews. Education is small scale and highly interactive. Subjects are generally completed with a group assignment. In addition, each trainee has to perform two Quick Scans during the course program and carries out an in-company Logistics Design Project to complete the program.
Certification
The Designer program Logistics Management Systems is officially recognized by the CTTO, Nederlandse Certificatie Commissie voor Opleidingen tot Technologisch Ontwerper (the Dutch certification committee for study programmes to become a technological designer).
Not only its subject matter and content, but also its structure and organization make LMS a unique program both in the Netherlands and internationally.
