Aim of the course

The main objective of the training will be to acquire skills in order to design distribution logistics systems in production companies.

Prerequisites

Production and Service Management, Operations Research.

Scope

Lecture

Design of finished product warehouses, logistics centres and customer service centres. Design of processes, related to the handling of shipments of finished products, in various production companies. Design of ICT infrastructure for distribution logistics. Breakdown of warehouses by sector and analysis of the rotation of finished products in the warehouse. Selection of means of external transport. Planning of the distribution of finished products vis-à-vis the efficient management of the distribution of such finished products.

Laboratory

As part of the laboratory, students will design a distribution logistics system for selected production companies. The project will cover a finished products warehouse with a selection of equipment and the means of internal transport and a system for the planning of dispatches, that is, with regard to the dispatch boxes and the completion of orders; planning how the means of transport are to be loaded and then linked, forward, to the planning of shipping routes.

Teaching methods

Conventional lecture.

Computer laboratory. Work in a selected simulator.
