Learning Activities and Methodology:

- Theoretical lectures oriented for the acquisition of theoretical knowledge.
- Classes of problems in small groups for case studies.
- Individual tutorials and students' personal work, aimed at the acquisition of skills related to the subject program.
- Laboratory practices: 4 sessions of 1'5 hours. During the lab sessions students will learn to analyze a production process by means of a simulator. Students submit an assignment that will be marked.

Assessment System:

The breakdown of the course final grade is as follows:
- Assignment Work: Work and practice exercise: 40%
- Final Exam: 60%.
