Course detail

Logistics

FAST-CW13Acad. year: 2016/2017

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.
