Course detail

Logistics

FAST-CW13Acad. year: 2013/2014

The goal of the subject is to master the theory of logistic systems, logistic chains and their creation. To master the theory and creation of material and information flow. To get to know the systems analysis and deaggregation into elements and chains. To get to know the applications of logistic principles and the knowledge from the field of construction-technological processes and buildings realization, as well as from the field of company management processes. To get to know the potential of simulations and modeling of logistics chains, flows and control processes.
The goal of the subject is logistics as a modern scientific tool comprising with cybernetics the base of modern control and information systems.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

Mastering the objectives of the course CW13 - Logistics, the students will acquire basic knowledge of the basic field of science – logistics. They will master the basics of logistic systems, compilation logistic chains, creation of flow of the material and information. They will be introduced to the principles of creation and consequent use of logistic chains. They will master the basics of systems analysis and deaggregation into elements and chains. They will be introduced to the potential application of special simulation software, as well as to the principles of simulation and modeling of chains, flows and processes. The students will be introduced to logistics as a modern science. They get to knowledges about the logistics tools comprising together with cybernetics the base of modern control and information systems.

Prerequisites

Knowledge of the studied branch from the point of view of the interactions and links of individual processes. Numerical solutions of differential equations. Matrix. Number of indeterminacy and statistics.

Co-requisites

Part of the knowledge of this subject can be supplemented with knowledge of the subject Decision making theory.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course is taught through lectures, practical classes and self-study assignments. Attendance at lectures is optional, but attendance at classes is compulsory.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

For successful completion of the course the student is asked to study regularly and to attend the lectures and seminars. The student will prove his knowledge during an oral examination. The credit for seminars completion is conditioned by regular attendance and also by submitting the individual assignments.
