Overview
The course intends to introduce the student to the knowledge of logistics issues, in terms of design and control of both the physical flow and the information flow of production systems. For more detailed training objectives, please refer to the section "Expected learning outcomes"
Admission requirements
Basic scientific knowledge.
Course contents
Introduction
1. Theoretical foundations of industrial plant engineering.

1. Design and management criteria for production / assembly lines, job shops and processing cells.
(0.5 CFU)
2. Clustering algorithms for Group Technology.
(0.5 CFU)
3. Discrete event simulation laboratory for the design / management of machining systems.
(1 CFU)
4. Case studies and simulation tests.
(0.5 CFU)
The design and management of the informative flow
1. Criteria for the design and management of information flow: principles of inventory management.
(0.5 CFU)
2. Stock management and demand management.
(1 CFU)
3. Algorithms for lot-sizing.
(0.5 CFU)
4. Supply Chain Game: simulation of a real scenario.
(1 CFU)
The time assigned to each topic may be subject to variations according to contingent situations such as the possibility of carrying out laboratory and in-depth activities. The teachers reserve the right to slightly change the schedule according to the students’ feedback.
Teaching methods
The course will be held through frontal lectures (theory and numerical exercise) with the help of multimedia devices. Materials will be supplied in the Teams channel and on the Moodle page of the course. Attendance to lectures and exercises work is not compulsory although recommended. The course will be held in Italian.
Assessment methods
In addition to the tests on the entire program of the course, there will be an intermediate test in the middle of the course. If sufficient, this test will then be integrated with a second partial test at the end of the course. Both partial tests will be written and composed of a theory question (7.5 points) and a numerical exercise (7.5 points). In case of failure of the second partial test, the first one will also be invalidated. The duration of each partial test is 1.5 hours and the overall mark out of thirty is given by the sum of the scores obtained in the two partial tests. The overall exam will instead take place at the end of the course according to the official exam schedule. The test is written and consists of two theory questions (7.5 points each )and two numerical exercises (7.5 points each). The duration of the written test is 3 hours and the overall mark out of thirty is given by the sum of the scores obtained in the four parts that compose it. The outcome of the written test will be communicated via Esse3.
