Logistics II
Objectives
The main knowledge to be acquired by students with this course is how to apply an effective and efficient approach in solving a logistic project/problem.
With this course it is expected that students develop their skills to identify and analyse the main aspects to be planned in the development/resolution of a logistic project/problem, specifying its boundaries. Furthermore, students must know how to select and use the appropriate methods, techniques and tools for decision-making, set arguments for decision based on quantitative methods, integrate knowledge and face the complexity of making judgements based on information that can be incomplete or limited, and train their skills in interpreting logistical performance.

Teaching method
The course is taught with a weekly load of 1 theoretical-practical class (4h). Classes expose concepts, models and techniques based on examples and solved exercises and case studies that allow the student to consolidate concepts, develop thinking skills and teamwork and autonomy. Classes are complemented with mandatory readings and group resolution of case studies, paying attention to the ability to present written and oral presentations.
Evaluation method
The curricular unit assessment will be based on:
2 closedbook tests (T1 and T2) and 1 group project TG.
Final grade=0.35 T1 + 0.35 T2 + 0.3TG
The score for each component of the assessment will be rounded to two decimal places.
In exam (E) the evaluation involves the exam grade and the one obtained in the TG, with weighting in the final grade of 70 and 30%, respectively.
