• Objectives:

   

  This subject seeks to introduce the decision making activity in the production and logistic field. This subject will introduce the students to analyze the cause-effect relationship between the elements that determine system behavior, and design mechanism to avoid the propagation of perturbation through the whole system.

• Topics:

   

  Introduction to Flexible manufacturing systems; Discrete event system modeling; Statistic models in simulation; Discrete event system simulation and decision making in the logistic field.
