The verdict from Heilbronn University
The degree in Technical Logistics Management at the Heilbronn University of Applied Sciences is characterised by its high level of practical relevance and the broad range of subjects covered, enabling graduates to enter various professional fields. When teaching change management, the university uses simulation games from Lean Games to convey the learning content. Both lecturers and students are enthusiastic about the games.
Student Heike Bloschies says: “The “Lean Production” simulation game really made it clear to me how companies benefit from implementing lean production. I can hardly believe that there are still companies today that don’t use lean production!”
Heilbronn University offers a total of 42 degree courses. It attaches great importance to ensuring that the knowledge transfer process is interesting, and has a practical orientation. The Technical Logistics Management course is still relatively new; it began in 2008/2009 at the suggestion of logistics companies in the region.
It is based on three pillars: technology (the solid engineering basis), processes (the technical and business processes), and people (the leadership and work-orientated design of logistics systems). Further information about Heilbronn University can be found on its website:
