Career History:
University of Applied Science, Ludwigshafen - Bachelor Thesis (Feb 2011 - Apr 2011)
"Framework for the analysis of logistical indicators within the Supply Chain" (80 pages)
� Conducted literature research on the contemporary definition of logistics, associated business areas and impact on different business strategies. Segmented
the material flow into Inbound, Intra and Outbound Logistics and allocated each operational logistic division to one of these segments by identifying their
scope of duty and responsibility.
� Identified suitable "Key Performance Indicators" to measure the isolated logistical performance within each operational division. The main emphasis was on
the display of the logistic structure, the productivity and the temporal and qualitative performance.
� Designed a KPI-System to measure the logistical performance with due regard to the internal interdependencies and those between the company and the
trading and service partners. The KPI-System enabled the user to evaluate the logistical performance of each operational area and identified the weak spots
and especially the bottle-necks inside the material flow.
