Logistics in Transport and Handling (FSI-9LDM)

Academic year 2021/2022
Supervisor: doc. Ing. Miroslav Škopán, CSc.  
Supervising institute: ÚADI all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech or English
Aims of the course unit:
The aim of the course is to familiarize the students with logistic approaches in the handling of handling and transport processes. Assessment of logistics processes and their cross-sectional functions. Possibilities of modeling of traffic handling processes.
Learning outcomes and competences:
Students will gain knowledge of logistic approaches to handling traffic-handling processes. They are able to identify appropriate logistic indicators for transport-handling systems and carry out their evaluation.
Prerequisites:
Successful completion of the course is conditional on the basic knowledge of technical mechanics, physics and higher mathematics.
Course contents:
The course in Logistics in transport and handling is aimed at optimisation of handling and transport processes. Logistical costs and outputs. The valution of handling and transport processes(logistical factors). The simulation of handling and transport processes with computer utilization.
Teaching methods and criteria:
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Part of the lessons are tutorials where the student applies the acquired knowledge in relation to the topic of doctoral study.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
The exam is evaluated with acquired knowledge and the ability to apply them. The exam is written with a final oral interview.
Controlled participation in lessons:
Teaching takes the form of lectures and consultations. Lectures are optional, attendance at tutorials is obligatory.
Type of course unit:
    Lecture  10 × 2 hrs. optionally
