Learning outcomes
The student, through the direct and experimental application, both physical and simulative, of the techniques of design and management of physical and information flows, knows the management of materials within a manufacturing, process and service industry and the management of energy and waste with the aim of greater process sustainability. He also knows the application of flexible automation for the optimal management of company logistics.
Course contents
The aim is to provide base methods and tools for the simulation of the most important aspects of production and manufacturing:
- Conveyor systems;
- Material handling systems;
- Flexible Manufacturing Systems;
- Assembly lines;
- Warehouse systems;
- Supply chain.
At the end of the course participants will be able to:
- Understand the concepts underlying process simulation;
- Know the range and capabilities of simulation;
- Create a simulation of a complex production system;
- Produce and interpret a simulation report;
- Realize and analyze What-If scenarios.
