Learning outcomes

The student knows general criteria and quantitative methods for planning, design and management of logistic systems of modern flexible factory (manufacturing, assembling, transport and storage) and of distribution systems of products to the customer.  Logistics is concerned with the flow of materials in the supply chain, from source through the total industrial process to the customer, and then on to disposal or re-use/re-cycling. By co-ordinating all resources, logistics ensures that service levels are acceptable to customers. The programme will provide a detailed understanding and knowledge of logistics and its place in all types of industries. The range of professional and general management skills is very important for careers in logistics and many other areas of graduate employment.

Course contents

Prerequisites

Teaching methods

Theoretical lessons are completed by a serie of exercises and applications to allow the student to be familiar with the common design practices.

Assessment methods

The final exam is designed to assess the achievement of learning objectives:

-provide the general criteria, and the corresponding mathematical methods to support decisions making process in the design and management of production and logistic system, including material handling systems;

-apply the models and tools presented and illustrated in the course thanks to numerical examples and case studies.

The final score of the course is the result of two contributions, one for each module, by averaging the two scores.

The written test for each module usually consists in a technical report on theoretical topics covered in the course (two theoretical questions) and numerical applications (two numerical exercises).

Teaching tools

During the course several practices and numerical applications will be illustrated in order to apply models and solution methods. In addition, some case studies and supporting decision tools and software will be illustrated.
