This Course deals with Industrial Logistics and it aims to provide the General Criteria and Quantitative Methods that support the Design, Re-Engineering, Planning and Management of Logistics Systems. Industrial Logistics teaches how to develop Integrated and Flexible Industrial Logistics Networks integrating Physical Material Flows and Information Streams able to guarantee a High Quality of Products & Service to Customers, the Reduction of Response Time and the Containment of Costs. The Course provide the guidelines to measure the Performance of Logistics and Operations
The course provides the fundamentals quantitative methods that the drive design and the management of logistic systems, both integrated and flexible, in order to integrate physical and information flows for ensuring an higher level of product quality and customer service. This with the reduction of response time and costs, together with appropriate operational and management flexibility
Overall view of the Industrial Logistics Systems, Analysis and Synthesis Capability on Logistics Networks and Flows, Mastering Elementary Techniques of Calculus and Statistics for Logistics
The Lectures and Exercises provides all the basic required elements to succeed in the Course, therefore some knowledge of business management, mechanical systems, operational management could be useful.
Lectures, team works, individual exercises; Competitive Team and/or collaborative Working on Logistics Projects; Simulation, RPG
