Companies in the consumer goods sector recognize the critical need for flexibility in their distribution networks to maintain high customer service levels. The challenge lies in effectively setting up and utilizing flexibility potentials, such as excess storage and transport capacities, within distribution planning. This flexibility planning aims to prevent the costs associated with unused capacities while ensuring sufficient adaptability. Key constraints, including lead times and interdependencies among various adaptation measures, must be considered. Additionally, flexibility is influenced by future conditions, complicating the anticipation of demand and increasing planning complexity. The author introduces a planning model that integrates flexibility decisions into distribution planning. By employing a stochastic model, it accommodates various demand scenarios and facilitates responsive adjustments to unexpected changes. The model also forecasts material flow development and addresses the time lag between implementing flexibility measures and realizing their benefits in service levels. Its theoretical and practical contributions are illustrated through evaluation cases involving consumer goods companies.

Dominik Pfeiffer entwickelt ein neues Theoriewerkzeug zur Analyse der Globalisierung von Transitional Justice, die ein vor einigen Jahrzehnten entstandener soziopolitischer Prozess ist, der sich durch und über eine Einbettung in Weltkultur (die „World Polity“) vollzogen hat. Es kam nicht nur zu einer weitgehenden Normalisierung, sondern auch zu einer Rationalisierung des Umgangs mit massiver Gewalt und Gräueltaten. Die Globalisierung von Transitional Justice ist als eine ambivalente Entwicklung zu begreifen, die zugleich für zu wenig und zu viel globale Gerechtigkeit sorgt: So entziehen sich trotz allem immer wieder mächtige Staaten der Ahndung von Makrogewalt, während gleichzeitig an anderen Orten Aufarbeitungsprozesse maßgeblich durch globale Normen und Mechanismen beeinflusst werden.
