13. Prerequisites  
14. Description of lectures
Creating and applying operative and strategic models for corporate logistics. Determining factors of logistics activities and their financial and accounting impact on economic and technological processes of the company. Tracking performance throughout the company by identifying performance objects companied with their analysis. Measuring performance levels by KPI. Standard definition and data system along the logistics chain. Characteristics of the aggregated information evaluation and analysis. Within the frames of the subject, based on case studies and practical considerations, possible logistics objects are overviewed, moreover their possible measures are determined and thus the students are enabled to create a complex calculation model to cover financial and technological issues of the economics of the company. The subject also sheds light on the business analysis of the logistics or supply chain by general cost analysis and gross profit calculations of the product/service units of companies operating in arbitrary sectors. Moreover, based on the introduced controlling models, the students will be capable of analyzing the sources of profit and loss in the company applying logical reason-effect considerations.
