During the visit, Dr. Markus Frank, a former WFI PhD student who now works at EDEKA, provided valuable insights into warehouse logistics at EDEKA Südbayern. Students gained a practical understanding of the challenges and processes of modern retail logistics, ranging from product supply and inventory management to the efficient coordination of warehousing and distribution operations.
The visit offered an excellent opportunity to connect theoretical course content with practical applications in food retailing and to gain first-hand insights into the daily operations of a leading retail company.
