Since 2007 the IPL has published the IPL magazine four times a year and free of charge on an online platform. It is a specialist magazine, which is aimed at company managements and specialist managers. Articles on the subject of production management and logistics with a current time reference are published. In addition to employees of the institute, the authors also include persons in charge from companies, which ensures the exchange of ideas between science and practice.
In 2008 the IPL-Beratung GmbH was founded, which concentrates on the classic form of management consulting and has access to the methods and tools of IPL.
Subject areas
With its areas of activity, the IPL supports companies holistically in the areas of production management and logistics. Particular attention is paid to the question of how theoretical knowledge can be introduced into companies. The acceptance and identification of employees with the goals play a central role.
Technical warehouse logistics products
The IPL develops solutions for manual or semi-automated warehouses that accompany growth.
Company-specific training
Further education events are offered as standard seminars or in a company-specific version. While standard seminars present technical content in a neutral way for participants from different companies, company-specific seminars offer the advantage that the participants of a company work with the terms, processes and examples from day-to-day business. This enables companies to prepare their employees in a team for specific tasks. Particularly high learning effects in the area of production management and logistics can be achieved with company-specific simulation games. These enable the direct transfer of what has been learned into professional application.
