AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

The module aims at providing the basics on supply chain resiliency, intended as the ability of a company to protect the continuity of supply and achieve sustained operational performance in the event disruptions of any type at any frequency from ongoing to catastrophic. Modeling and simulation will be extensively used to support quantitative scenario evaluation.

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

The course addresses the operational structure of the modern and global supply chain by identifying risk mitigation strategies through careful stock management, redundancy and mitigation of operational risks

TEACHING METHODS

the lectures are mostly teorically based with the use of case studies, classroom exercises and assigments. Seminars are proposed based on high qualified professionals and managers.

EXAM DESCRIPTION

EXAM DESCRIPTION

The exam provides for a single evaluation of each of the following elements, the grade being the sum of the individual evaluations:

1. The student's delivery of calculation reports related to Assignments.

2. Oral discussion of an in-depth report on one of the lessons discussed

3. A multiple-choice test on all subjects covered by the course.

4. Evaluation of the frequency of teaching activities (lessons and exercises) proposed in the classroom

Students with learning disorders ("Disturbi Specifici di Apprendimento", DSA) will be allowed to use specific modalities and supports that will be determined on a case-by-case basis in agreement with the delegate of the Engineering courses in the Committee for the Inclusion of Students with Disabilities.

ASSESSMENT METHODS

Deep verification of: the knowledge acquired during the lectures, the practical skills acquired, effective communication attitude.
