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 of global mult-tier disruptions of any type at any frequency from ongoing to catastrophic. The course will focus particularly on SCRM 2000 and on the requirements of ISO 28000, PD 25222, and ISO 31000. Modeling and simulation will be extensively used to support quantitative scenario evaluation over multi-tier, multi-product SCM.

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.

Individual study, attendance and participation in the proposed training activities will enable the student to 

- have a systemic approach in the analysis of Supply Chains

- design and manage Supply Chains, specifically by: *) forecasting the demand for products; *) sizing and designing storage systems; *) managing inventories; *) taking strategic decisions in order to mitigate disruptive events

TEACHING METHODS

The course is delivered using traditional teaching methods, i.e. face-to-face lectures with the aid of the blackboard and slides with video projector. In addition, the course includes, in parallel with the theory lessons, numerous exercises during which students will be asked to solve real problems in the design and management of Supply Chains. The presentation of the results of the exercises takes the form of a moment in which the students communicate not only the problems they have faced but also the solutions that have arisen for these problems.

EXAM DESCRIPTION

Oral examination

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

The final assessment is aimed at verifying the actual learning of the topics covered during the course. 

It involves taking an oral test that will cover all the topics covered during the course and the exercises carried out in class during the course. At the end of the oral examination, the committee will award the student a mark: the student who has achieved a mark of at least 18/30 will have passed the examination.
