Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| Intended key learning outcomes:
- Gaining the knowledge and understanding of the chosen concentration field.
- Understanding and being able of using modelization methods.
- Integrate autonomously researched information, tools, knowledge and context to build and propose, either individually or as part of a team, original, creative and viable solutions to concrete complex management problems whether real or simulated.
- Providing concrete solutions to a management problem, integrating modelization methods and/or a dimension of technology, innovation or production.
- Being capable of professional team work.
- Developing a critical sense (arguing).
- Creative conception of solutions.
- Professional capacity for oral communication.
- Professional capacity for written communication.
Specific learning outcomes of the course:
- Deepen knowledge in production and inventory management.
- Learn new models and techniques used to manage production and material flows.
- To be able to solve frequently faced problems of production and material flow management.
- To be able to recognize the situations where production and material flow management techniques can be used as decision making tools and to interpret correctly the conclusions which can be derived using these techniques.
- To be able to make critical analysis of these different techniques.
- Understand the advantages and limitations of these kinds of approaches for real world applications.
- Understand the difficulties of treating real world data and managing real world production and material flow systems.
- Learn how to use the mathematical modeling tool AIMMS to treat real world logistical problems.
- To be able to conduct detailed analysis, drive conclusions, and propose original improvement opportunities for real world logistical systems using these techniques and tools.

Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| Basic concepts of supply chain management, production planing, and inventory management |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
|
- Lectures
- Discussions
- Factory visit / Invited speaker
- Oral presentations of articles/book chapters by the students
- Group projects: There are two projects to conduct sequentially (in groups of 3 students) during the semester. The first one is an INFORMS case study and the second one is a real case that analyses the production planning problem of a multinational enterprise. Students are wanted to use the modelling tool AIMMS to treat these logistical problems, conduct detailed analysis, drive conclusions, and propose original improvement opportunities. A session of 2 hours is organized for each project to help students in their analysis and in using AIMMS.
