Following last year’s successful 1st Flying Seminar on Global Logistics and Supply Chain Management at Naresuan University (Phitsanulok, Thailand), Hochschule Merseburg (HoMe) welcomed a delegation of 11 students, led by Dr. Boonsub Panichakarn and accompanied by Mr. Watanabee from the School of Logistics and Supply Chain at Naresuan University.
The main part of the second follow-up seminar on international logistics was an international student conference.
The goal of the conference was to exchange research findings and ideas related to global supply chains and international logistics. The Thai students presented engaging research plans and results from various logistics projects in Thailand. Meanwhile, HoMe students presented their project outcomes from the International Logistics course—not only in front of the international visitors but also before Mr. Krebs, the owner of Teebotique in Weimar
Mr. Krebs wants to import the so-called Jackfruits from Thailand to Germany. The first student group got the task to find the most efficient and cost-effective transportation method and the second group had to find a mechanical solution for processing jackfruit.
The conference was enriched by four additional speakers: Prof. Dr. Pick (Enforcing Service Rules), Emma Zimbelmann (Humanitarian Logistics) and Alexandra Fiedler (3D printing) from Merseburg, and Prof. Dr. Daduna (3D printing) from the HWR Berlin.
During the final day the Thai and German students visited the international company Radial Fulfilment GmbH in Halle.
HoMe is a co-founding member of AGKN e.V. It consists of three departments forming the university’s main organizational structure. These departments perform their duties effectively by adapting to the size and composition of the student body. Thus, the Department of Business Administration and Information Sciences maintains close relationships with both regional and supra-regional businesses while also offering a multifaceted education that provides competencies in business, media, and management.
