CODE 80268 ACADEMIC YEAR 2020/2021 CREDITS 6 cfu anno 2 INGEGNERIA INFORMATICA 8733 (LM-32) - GENOVA 6 cfu anno 1 COMPUTER ENGINEERING 11160 (LM-32) - GENOVA SCIENTIFIC DISCIPLINARY SECTOR ING-INF/04 TEACHING LOCATION GENOVA SEMESTER 1° Semester TEACHING MATERIALS AULAWEB OVERVIEW The course presents the main optimization and control models and methods for planning and organizing logistic networks and intermodal nodes. AIMS AND CONTENT LEARNING OUTCOMES The course aims to present general issues and provide basic knowledge about the theory and technologies for optimizing and controlling logistic systems. The learning outcomes of the course are the following, always with reference to planning/organizing logistic networks: - identification of the decisional class to which a specific problem belongs; - definition of the most appropriate modelling method for the problem statement - definition of the most adequate solution methodology for the problem - identification of a software solution for the problem - definition and discussion of the problem relevance and effects on the overall system planning.
