General description A xestión da cadea de subministro trata sobre a organización e deseño de todos os procesos necesarios, tanto internos como externos, para que unha empresa produza e entregue os bens e servicios demandados polos seus clientes nas condiciones de lugar, tempo, calidade e custo requiridas. Nesta materia introdúcense os conceptos teóricos básicos e as metodoloxías prácticas que permiten a resolución de diversos problemas que xorden na xestión da cadea de subministro da moda.
Contingency plan 1. Modificacións nos contidos
- Non se realizan modificacións.

2. Metodoloxías
*Metodoloxías docentes que se manteñen
- Todas as indicadas na guía docente, que pasan a realizarse de xeito non presencial, a través das ferramentas dispoñibles na UDC.

*Metodoloxías docentes que se modifican
- Non se realizan modificacións.

3. Mecanismos de atención personalizada ao alumnado
- Correo electrónico: canle que o alumnado poderá empregar para facer consultas, solicitar titorías virtuais para resolver dúbidas e facer o seguimento dos traballos tutelados.

- Moodle: esta canle emprégase para, semanalmente, poñer a disposición do alumnado o material (presentacións, casos prácticos, exercicios...) e requirir a entrega de actividades -segundo o calendario de entregas previsto-. Disporase dun foro de carácter máis xeral, que se empregará como canle de comunicación principal do profesorado co alumnado. Ademais, o alumnado disporá dun foro específico para formular dudas e preguntas relacionadas coa materia.
O alumnado poderá facer uso deste mecanismo de atención personalizada diariamente, segundo a súa necesidade.

- Microsoft Teams: cada semana realizaranse a través desta canle sesións expositivas e interactivas para o avance dos contidos teóricos e as actividades previstas; sesións que se realizarán na franxa horaria que ten asignada a materia no calendario de clases da facultade. Tamén se realizará a través desta vía o seguimento e apoio na realización dos “traballos tutelados”, así como a realización de titorías a demanda do alumnado.

- Microsoft Stream: esta ferramenta porá a disposición do alumnado, na canle da materia, os vídeos das clases expositivas e interactivas, para a súa consulta asíncrona, así como os vídeos do seminario celebrado no marco da materia -se este se realizase-.

4. Modificacións na avaliación
- Mantéñense as metodoloxías indicadas na guía docente (entre elas a proba mixta, que se realizaría de forma non presencial), agás as referencias ao cómputo da asistencia e participación activa nas clases, que só se realizarán respecto das sesións que tiveron lugar de xeito presencial até o momento no que se suspendeu a actividade presencial. De ser o caso, o peso da participación activa nas clases na nota final (10%) engadiríase ao dos traballos tutelados, cuxo peso na nota final pasaría a ser dun 30%.

*Observacións de avaliación:
- As indicadas na guía docente.

5. Modificacións da bibliografía ou webgrafía
- Non se realizarán cambios. O alumnado disporá dos materias de traballo (en concreto, presentacións, casos prácticos e exercicios) de forma dixitalizada en Moodle. Así mesmo, as fontes de información da guía docente xa recollen algún recurso aos que o alumnado pode acceder de xeito gratuíto dende a rede.

Assessment comments

Assessment criterions

In order to pass this course, it will be necessary to obtain a minimum score of 3.5 points out of 10 in the mixed objective/subjective test, the ICT practicals, and the supervised project. If this requirement is not met, the qualification will be "Fail", even when the average of all the activities that are part of the assessment will give a result equal to or greater than 5 points out of 10. 

It will be an essential requirement to be evaluated to regularly attend and actively participate in the classroom and interactive sessions and in the different seminars organized.

The grade of "Not present" will only be given to students who only participated in course activities worth under 20% of the final grade; regardless of the grade obtained in these activities. 

The assessment criterions indicated will be valid both in the first and in the second opportunity of evaluation. The grade obtained by students who pass a part of the course with a mixed exam (i.e. partial exam), will be valid only for the ongoing academic year. If a student in such situation fails to pass the complete course in either the first opportunity or the second opportunity, her/his final grade will be "Fail", implying that she/he will have to re-take the whole course during incoming academic years.  

Students taking the anticipated December opportunity will be subject to the same criteria as those applying to the second opportunity.

Additional information

Fraudulent behavior in any of the parts subject to assessment will result in the grade of "Fail (0)" in the final assessment. 

It is forbidden to access the examination room with any device allowing for data transmission and/or warehousing when any of the evaluations is taking place  (mobile phones, smartwatches...). 

Students with recognition of part-time dedication and academic exemption waiver

The students with recognition of part-time dedication and academic exemption waiver must inform the instructor of the course at the beginning of the course, in order to establish a plan and calendar of activities. The assessment system will be the following one:  mixed objective/subjective test (30%), ICT practicals (30%), supervised projects (20%), and case study (20%). The supervised project must be done in group.

Other comments
It is recommended the revision and monitoring of the course through Moodle, where the materials used in class will shared and the activities to be carried out will be reported.

Given the impossibility of using the computer rooms during the interactive sessions, as a consequence of the capacity restrictions imposed by the COVID-19, the students must bring their laptops or electronic tablets to the interactive classes, so as to be able to carry out the planned activities.

In order to meet the objective of action number 5: "Healthy and environmentally and socially sustainable teaching and research" of the "Campus Verde Ferrol Action Plan", it will be encouraged, to the extent possible, the virtual delivery of reports through Moodle and without the need to print them; and if not possible, it will be recommended to print using recycled paper, double-sided and avoiding the use of plastic materials.
