For student research groups participating in the seventh edition of the Forum, March is a time of intensive work on the case study. Students are trying to create a better solution than the one developed by professionals – on April 12th of this year, we will have the opportunity to see if they succeeded in this endeavor.
April 10, 2008 – the start date of the 7th Young Logistics Forum is approaching relentlessly. The organizers – the Student Applied Logistics Club at the Faculty of Transport of the Warsaw University of Technology – assure that the preparation stage for the Forum is coming to an end. The world of young logistics is waiting for the start of the conference with increasing impatience.
– We are very curious to see how the Forum participants will handle this year’s case study – say the organizers – Observing the commitment of research group members in participating in conferences in previous years, we expect the bar to be set really high. Everything indicates that the participants will try to present the most original solutions possible to the given problem.
Participants of the 7th YLF emphasize the attractiveness of the new conference format (including a real-life case and extending the conference duration to 3 days), which contributes to creating new standards among student scientific conferences.
The real-life case was prepared by the conference’s substantive partners – the company DGL. The subject of this year’s task is related to the restructuring of a transport company. Students will have to face a task that keeps many experienced logisticians awake at night – what to do to ensure the company does not incur losses.
Student research groups from all over Poland have signed up to participate in the 7th Young Logistics Forum: The Logistics and Quality Research Club (University of Bielsko-Biala), the Student Logistics Research Club (Silesian University of Technology), the AE Logic Research Club (Poznan University of Economics), the Logistics Club (University of Gdansk), the Student Research Club of Logistics Management (Warsaw School of Economics), the Logisticians’ Research Club (Wroclaw University of Economics), the “DIALOG” Logistics Research Club (University of Economics in Katowice), the “Young Manager” Student Research Club (University of Bielsko-Biala), the Logistics Students’ Research Club (National Defence University in Warsaw), the “TILOG” Logistics Research Club (Cracow University of Technology), the Student Research Club of Transport, Forwarding, and Logistics (Warsaw School of Economics), as well as students from the French Higher School of Industrial Logistics (Ecole Supérieure de Logistique Industrielle) in Redon.
The organizers wish all participants many interesting ideas and unforgettable moments: – We hope that the 7th Young Logistics Forum will not only have scientific value for the participants but will also allow for a good time.
