Learning Objectives

The course aims to give the student a directional view of production systems and to provide the basic tools, technical and economic, for the high-level design and conduct of the process and service systems. The teaching method of the course includeslectures and computer exercises on case studies using the spreadsheet. Large space is dedicated to the treatment of factors of uncertainty and the related simulation approach.
