COURSES
High flexibility, dynamic demand, increasing customization, high quality standards, small batches and short life cycle are the key factors of the Industry 4.0 era. Innovative flexible manufacturing and assembly systems (FMSs & FASs) need to match these factors joining productivity to versatility, quality to adaptability. In this context, high-speed manufacturing machines, robotic handling devices, automated guided systems (AGVs) and human operators are connected and they have to act synergically.
This course aims at exploring a coordinated panel of (1) design methods, (2) support strategies and (3) quantitative approaches to help the Industry 4.0 practitioners in the tactical and operative management of innovative production systems.
AI and ManufacturingThe digital transformation is determining significant changes in operations and supply chain management (SCM) processes. Technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT) and Cyber Physical Systems, artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, cyber security, data analytics, block chain and cloud technology are radically transforming production and distribution systems. This course aims to investigate these transformations to understand the firms’ ability of gathering and analysing information about their environment can generate significant value to the SCM processes.
Business Analytics and Data ScienceThe course focuses on issues related to the management of materials along the supply chain, from suppliers to distribution channels. In this regard, they have a vital role. Managerial and organizational decisions made about the relationships with external companies with which we relate to, are the focal point of the course. In analyzing the vertical relationships between firms, the course seeks to develop: sensitivity to the Strategic Importance of the reports, the technical and managerial knowledge needed to deal with the decisions in the matter and organizational skills needed to manage them.
