Course Syllabus

Introduction

The main objective of logistics is to co-ordinate the movement of products through the supply chain in a way that meets customer requirements at minimum cost. In the past this cost has been defined in purely monetary terms. As concern for the environment rises, companies must take more account of the external costs of logistics associated mainly with climate change, air pollution, noise, vibration and accidents.

On completion of this practical course you should be able to:

  • Analyze the environmental consequences of logistics and understand how to deal with them.
  • Examine ways of reducing the externalities and achieve a more sustainable balance between economic, environmental and social objectives.
  • Gain a wide knowledge on green logistics research and discuss its model.
  • Determine and asses the external impact of freight transport and measure the environmental impact.
  • Discuss the framework for assessing the environmental impact of warehouses and examine ways of reducing the environmental impact.
  • Identify and discuss the role of government in promoting green logistics.
