Requirements (Subjects that are assumed to be known)
THE STUDENTS WHO TAHE THE INDUSTRIAL ORGANIZATION SPECIALITY IS RECOMENDED START WITH THIS SUBJECT
The student who pass this subject will be reach skills to: * Study any other subject in "Industrial Organization" speciality * Ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, statistics, economics and other scientific fields to the analysis of business situations. * Identify and describe industrial problems in a given enviromenment * Reconize the supply chain and their life cycle (Design, working, maintenance, replacement and innovation to sustainaibility)and identify the strategic rol of the human resources in the organization. * Modelize this situations and solve this models with computer tools and sometimes, in simple cases, manually. * Modelize: Production planning, supply chain managemt, assignment, assignment, transport, location, etc. * Reconize situations that could be modelized with optimization restricted models (linear programming, dynamic programming, networks). * Ability of comunication and working in groups
