Integrated Practicum 1: Organisation of Logistics and Transportation (B-KUL-H0T97A)

Aims
Knowledge:
- the various knowledge domains discussed in the courses are integrated on the basis of various cases ans simulations.
- the students should learn to convert the knowledge obtained into a more operational integrated knowledge
Skills:
- recognize the various contributions of the different courses
- analyse real problems
- learn to work in a structured way and make choices in a justified manner
- learn to collaborate in a team
- learn to report (both orally and in writing)
Attitudes:
- to assume a critical and professional attitude towards the proposed problems
Previous knowledge
Basic knowledge of logistics and optimalisation

Activities
6 ects. Integrated Practicum 1: Organisation of Logistics and Transportation (B-KUL-H0T97a)
Content
Several cases will be worked out:
- at the end of every day railway vehicles have to be moved to the place of departure for the next day;
- planning and scheduling of trains starting from origin-destination matrices
- location of repair shops for buses: where, how many shops, how many spare parts?
- routing of mailmen: planning, stock location of mail.Students have to analyse the problems, model them, find good solution procedures that yield realistic and feasible solutions. Afterwards these solution have to be presented with pros and cons.
