Prof. Dr. Guido Siestrup serves as Professor and Vice Dean of the Faculty of Business Information Systems at Furtwangen University, based at the Furtwangen campus (Room I 2.06). Contactable via Guido.Siestrup@hs-furtwangen.de and +49 7723 920-2240, he maintains office hours by appointment and holds memberships in the Bundesvereinigung Logistik (BVL) and Asian German Knowledge Network for Transport and Logistics (AGKN).

His research centers on process-oriented logistics management, reference models in logistics, and simulation of SCM systems, with recent publications revealing strong emphasis on risk management in logistics agglomerations and digital transformation pathways toward Supply Chain 4.0. Industrial experience informs his academic work, including leadership roles at Dynamit Nobel France (Automotive), Vest-Wood Türen (Building Elements), and Felix Schoeller (Paper/Specialty Imaging).

Analysis of his 15 most recent publications shows consistent focus on emergency planning for sensitive logistics nodes, collaborative risk frameworks, and maturity modeling for Industry 4.0 adoption. Methodologically, his work integrates agent-based simulation and multi-criteria decision support to address vulnerabilities in critical logistics infrastructure.

Prof. Siestrup leads externally funded research including PreparedNET and SUCULOG (BMBF) and MWN (MWK), focusing on supply chain resilience, risk mitigation, and network security. His industrial background enables practical translation of academic concepts into operational logistics frameworks, particularly for time-critical decision environments.
