The course concerns the main topics related to the classification of discrete event production systems. Models of production processes at the operational and control decision-making level will be presented. Moreover, optimization of push and pull production systems will be defined.
Knowing analytical and simulation techniques for evaluating the main performance indexes of complex dynamic processes; understanding the features of a decisional problem, as regards the decisional variables, the objective functions and all the constraints on decisions; stating and solving decisional problems oriented at an effective organization of processes, with reference to the hierarchical decisional structure including strategic, tactical, and operational levels; using software tools for planning frameworks
The learning outcomes of the course refer to the capacity of:
The course requires basic knowledge of statistics and logistics.
The course consists of lessons during which the theoretical contents of the course are presented together with the solution of numerical cases and the use of some software frameworks related to the course topics.
Students who have valid certifications for Specific Learning Disorders (DSA), for disabilities or other educational needs are invited to contact the teacher and the contact person for disabilities of the Polytechnic School at the beginning of the course to agree on any teaching methods that, in compliance with the objectives of the course, take into account individual learning methods.

The exam consists of an evaluation of a group project and an oral test with open questions on the course topics
The exam is composed by a project and oral part. During the exam the student has to present the main arguments of the course, to solve numerical exercises and to explain the theoretical notions necessary for their solution.
Students with disabilities or with DSA can request compensatory/dispensatory measures for the exam. The methods will be defined on a case-by-case basis together with the Engineering Contact of the University Committee for the support of disabled students and those with SLD. Students who wish to request it are invited to contact the course teacher well in advance by copying the Engineering Contact (https://unige.it/commissioni/comitatoperlassociazionedeglistudenticondisabilita.html), without sending documents regarding their disability.
