Course Title: Logistics Engineering and Management

Course code: LSCM 5021


Credit Hours: 3
CP: 8

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Logistics Engineering is an examination of logistics from a systems engineering


perspective, including the application of systems engineering techniques, methods,
and processes, and a survey of the practice of logistics from the perspective of the
working systems engineer. The emphasis of this course is on the role of logistics in
a system life cycle, from concept to disposal, the design of logistics subsystems and
logistics-oriented systems, and the application of techniques and best practices
associated with systems engineering, including topics in reliability, maintainability,
supportability.
Course Objectives

• Possess a general knowledge of the field of logistics engineering, including


common terminology, convention, techniques, and standards.
• Be prepared to apply systems engineering methods, techniques, and processes
to problems in the logistics domain.
• Be prepared to integrate logistics engineering knowledge, techniques, and
activities within a more general systems engineering effort.
• Possess the ability to reckon and represent dates and times.
• Possess a familiarity with common practices and methodologies within the
field of logistics engineering.
• Possess a familiarity with standards and best practices relevant to effective
logistics engineering.
