Learning outcomes
Through the direct and experimental application, both physical and simulative, of the design and control of physical and information flows, the student learns tools and methods for both the manufacturing and service industry management with a particular focus for an efficient and sustainable resource utilization. He/she also knows the application of flexible automation concepts leading to an effective supply chain management.
Course contents
The course is oriented towards the design of logistics and production systems. The course is intended to train students in the detailed skills of generating and executing simulation models of production processes.
The teaching is aimed at full understanding and use of the AutomodTM application in order to develop the main manufacturing and process production aspects in an appropriate dynamic simulation environment, including
- Conveyor systems;
- Material handling systems;
- Flexible Manufacturing Systems;
- Flexible Assembly lines;
- Manual and automatic storage systems;
- Supply chain and logistics systems.
At the end of the course the students will be able to:
- Understand the basic concepts underlying the simulation of production processes;
- Know the scope and potential of simulation as a support tool for the design of production processes;
- Develop the simulation environment for complex production systems;
- Produce and interpret simulation reports; Perform and analyze What-If analyses.
The entire course is based on AutomodTM, an object-oriented software developed to provide an environment for building highly accurate models for analysis and development.
