Lectures

Goal

Upgrading competencies and academic skills in the complex process of designing industrial systems. Special emphasis is placed on higher development of creative abilities and further mastering of specific practical skills necessary for performing the profession in terms of application of selected methods of operational research, analysis and synthesis procedures in order to obtain the optimal practical solution of logistic problem.

Outcome

By mastering the higher post-study program, the following selected abilities are acquired: analysis, synthesis and prediction of more complex solutions in the process of designing logistics industrial systems based on the application of knowledge in practice based on professional ethics and the development of critical and self-critical thinking and approach.

Theoretical teaching

Selected logistics system in the economic environment (the role of the logistics system in the economy, the functions that the system must fulfill and its benefit to the economy). Elements of the logistics system (production based on end-user requirements, distribution and storage system). Selected subsystems of the logistics system (production with defined capacity, transport with defined technology and warehousing and distribution subsystem). The place and role of warehouses in the logistics system. Application and effects of application of logistics systems in the economy (coverage of the territory with defining the location between production and final user, reduction of transport and storage costs and increase of flexibility towards the end user). Preliminary analyzes for system design (general urban - architectural conditions, logistic and transport connections, energy and human potential). System design documentation.

Practical teaching

Project exercise (design for the selected logistics system - defining the elements of the selected logistics system and subsystem for the selected logistics system). Project development (Determining the optimal location of the selected logistics system in the macro environment - positioning the warehouse in relation to production and the end user in the function of the transport system. Project of warehouse for palletized goods - definition: packaging and capacity, work technology, layout, delivery and dispatch and management for the system being designed).
