Learning Objectives
The course aims to provide the elements necessary for understanding the issue of materials management within a production plant. Starting from the study of stocks and their classification, the course provides knowledge on stock management, methodologies for determining safety stocks and their optimal management.
The issues related to material handling and storage of finished products and raw materials within the warehouse areas are therefore discussed.
Through lessons and tutorials, the course aims to make the student capable of
Knowing the definition and features of stocks
knowing the methodologies needed for stock management
Organising and planning activities related to the handling of stocks
Obtaining the basic concepts for determining the best stock-handling policy.
The knowledge provided is:
Knowledge and understanding of production facilities and processes. Understanding the advantages and limitations of process and plant design choices in different application contexts (cc6).
Application capabilities are:
Applying knowledge and understanding problems related to multidisciplinary engineering, taking into account the constraints also of a non-technical nature, and working in collaboration with other engineers or other professional skills typically present in manufacturing companies (ca8).

Type of Assessment
The assessment of the student consists of an examination test consisting in the writing and discussion of a written paper. Seven exam sessions are scheduled during the academic year.
In order to pass the exam, students must have acquired sufficient knowledge of the topics related to the materials management (raw materials, semi-finished and finished products) in the warehouses, the methods of material storage in the warehouses, the determination of security stocks and how to reorganize, a basic knowledge of the types and size of warehouses (cc6) to solve practical problems of industrial engineering (ca8)..
