General description

A simulación é unha técnica Lean para deseñar e mellorar procesos que desempeña un papel fundamental en Industria 4.0. O propósito desta materia é formar en técnicas de simulación de eventos discretos aplicadas á resolución de problemas en loxística. En concreto, veranse problemas de deseño e optimización de sistemas de loxística interna como transporte interno, almacéns, etc. A materia polo tanto axudará a aprender tanto técnicas de simulación como de mellora e optimización de sistemas loxísticos.

Assessment comments
O "Alumnado con recoñecemento de dedicación a tempo parcial edispensa académica de exención de asistencia" comunicarán ó inicio docurso a súa situación os profesores da materia, segundo establece a "Normaque regula o réxime de dedicación ao estudo dos estudantes de grao na UDC"(Art.3.b e 4.5) e as “Normas de avaliación, revisión e reclamación dascualificacións dos estudos de grao e mestrado universitario (Art. 3 e 8b). Para os alumnos que soliciten a dispensa académica a avaliación será igual ao resto xa que os traballos serán completados fóra do horario de clases.

Other comments

A sustainable use of resources must be made to prevent the negative impact on the natural environment. For this reason, the delivery of the documentary works carried out in this subject:

• They will be requested in virtual format and / or computer support

• It will be done through Moodle, in digital format without needing to print them

• If it is necessary to make them on paper: a) plastics will not be used, b) double-sided impressions will be made, c) recycled paper will be used, d) the printing of drafts will be avoided.
