Future logistics managers will face a multitude of complex tasks and they will be required to develop efficient management concepts at short notice. University teaching – as well as further education – has the ability to prepare those logistics managers for future tasks by enabling them to transfer theoretical knowledge to practical problems. To contribute to more practice-oriented teaching approaches, the Competence Center for International Logistics Networks at the Chair of Logistics at Berlin University of Technology conducted 10 on-site case studies at leading manufacturing companies in the consumer goods, automotive, and machinery industries, as well as at logistics service providers. This case collection covers a wide range of topics such as supply chain transparency, lead time management, network planning, volatile customer demand, risk management, behavioral management, organizational alignment and many others. TO provide assistance for instructors that seek to apply those cases in class, guiding questions are also provided.

Um zu praxisorientierteren Lehransätzen beizutragen, hat das Kompetenzzentrum für Internationale Logistiknetze am Fachgebiet Logistik der Technischen Universität Berlin zehn Fallstudien vor Ort bei führenden produzierenden Unternehmen der Konsumgüter-, Automobil- und Maschinenbauindustrie sowie bei Logistikdienstleistern durchgeführt. Diese Fallstudiensammlung deckt ein breites Themenspektrum ab, wie z. B. Transparenz in Lieferketten, Lead Time Management, Netzwerkplanung, volatile Kundennachfrage, Risikomanagement, Verhaltensmanagement, organisatorische Ausrichtung und viele andere. Um Lehrenden, die versuchen, diese Fallstudien im Unterricht anzuwenden, zu helfen, werden zudem Leitfragen zur Verfügung gestellt.

We study how Amazon's supply chain works in detail explaining the critical parts that make the supply chain perform as a whole. Analysis of the SCM of the amazon system is done to understand the important interaction of different parts. We choose to study the SCM operations of Amazon because Amazon is the world leader in logistics with operations around the world and to become aware of the different elements, interconnections, and purpose of a successful company like Amazon and relate it to its current perspectives. The study is based on the definitions of the Lean principles, six principles of SCM, Whole system thinking, and their inter-relation. We approach the study by defining all the concepts and then explaining the Amazon company's SCM strategy and inter-relations of various parts. The Objective of the term paper is to study how the theoretical concepts are implemented practically by Amazon.
