Lecturers gave lectures to undergraduate and postgraduate students of Logistics Management and Logistics Engineering study programmes.

Students were introduced to the concept of logistics, the actors involved in logistics and the supply chain, and the similarities and differences between these concepts. The components, processes and activities of logistics were discussed using practical examples. The practical exercises analysed the supply chain of a product when transport is carried out using all modes of transport.
