Teaching methods

Theoretical lessons and exercises. Industrial case studies. Logistics Game in team.

Assessment methods

Achievements will be assessed by the means of a final exam. This is based on an analytical assessment of the "expected learning outcomes" described above.

in order to properly assess such achievement tha examination is composed of a written session, duration 2,5 hours, composed of four questions: two concern a numerical project, with an optional part, the other two concern theoretical themes.

Higher grades will be awarded to students who demonstrate an organic understanding of the subject, a high abilty for resolution of numerical complex problems and applications, and a clear and concise presentation of the contents.

To obtain a passing grade, students are required to at least demonstrate a knoledge of the key concepts of the subject, some ability for numerical applications and a comprehensible use of technical language.

A failing grade will be awarded if the student shows knoledge gaps in key-concepts of the subject, inappropriate use of language, and logic failures in the analysis of the subject. Finally a failing grade will be due to at least one insufficient question.

Teaching tools

In the context of the lessons will be incorporated specific seminars on the topics covered, including the presentation of software of support to theoretical lessons. There will also be proposals and insert one or two corporate testimonials about course topics, as well as a visit from a manufacturing plant (not required).
