Process Optimization in Logistics: ILM Students Drive Process Transparency at Eurotrans
Navigating and optimizing complex supply chain operations requires deep analytical insight. During a recent corporate project, four students from the International Logistics Management (ILM) bachelor's program analyzed the core operational workflows at the Linz-based freight forwarder Eurotrans, identifying critical pathways for digitalization and future industry certifications.
Partnering with Eurotrans, a logistics provider specializing in road and rail transport, ILM students Johannes Lins, Alexander Matzenberger, Benjamin Gerstlauer, and Anja Röhrich executed a comprehensive process management initiative.
Running from October 2025 through January 2026, the project aimed to systematically document the company's central operations for the first time. The team conducted in-depth analyses of key processes—including customer management, route planning, and driver administration—to establish operational transparency, assess potential risks, and outline actionable strategies for process optimization and digital transformation. Crucially, this newfound transparency provides the strategic foundation required for the company's upcoming ISO and TAPA certifications.
The project concluded with highly successful results. At the final presentation, Eurotrans Managing Director Domic Deiser commended the team, specifically highlighting their targeted, professional methodology and the immediate practical value of their proposed solutions.
