Laboratory Product Analysis and Logistics (ES)

If you have any questions about the work undertaken and the classes in the LPL, please contact Prof. Wörner or Prof. Wlcek directly.

• Product analysis:
  The lab houses a vehicle, a Smart, and vehicle components such as the engine and gearbox of a truck, for students to try their hand at product analysis and redesign. Components can be removed, digitised, analysed and improved, the improved product can be produced as a prototype, replaced and tested.
• Logistics:
  Warehousing and simple assembly processes in particular can be tried out in the Logistics Laboratory.
  Students work in groups to investigate how Lean Management techniques can be used to improve these processes.
  Another key field in the Logistics Laboratory is order picking. Various order picking techniques which can help to increase productivity and improve ergonomic aspects can be demonstrated and experienced first-hand.
