205114 - Environment, Health and Safety, and Quality management - 7.5 ECTS (Semester 1)
Recently, the integration of management systems has become an increasingly important mechanism adopted by organizations, as it represents an alternative to operating with multiple parallel management systems. Therefore, the main objective of this course is to introduce students to the three more widespread management systems adopted by firms, namely occupational health and safety, quality and environment, as well as to the methodologies for their integration.
- Coordinator: Jesús Abad
- Syllabus
205115 - Combinatorial Optimization in Logistics - 7.5 ECTS (Semester 2)
This course can be seen as an extension of the mandatory course 'Tools for Decision Making'. The goal of the course is to get some insight on the main techniques used for solving combinatorial optimization problems that arise in logistics.
- Coordinator: Maria Albareda
- Syllabus
205116 - Simulation of Industrial and Logistic Processes - 7.5 ECTS (Semester 2)
The Simulation of industrial and logistic systems course introduces students to the area of discrete event simulation of stochastic processes as an aid in the decision making process in production and logistic environments. The modeling of manufacturing or logistic processes in a simulator allows the analysis, the study, the improvement, and the evaluation of different solutions without interfering with the real system.
- Coordinator: Toni Guasch
- Syllabus
205117 - Business Analytics - 7.5 ECTS (Semester 2)
This course is an introduction to techniques to make data-driven decisions in the business context that go beyond the use of spreadsheets, still the standard for data analysis and manipulation in many organisations. At the end of the course, students should be able to acquire, manipulate and visualise data using R and Rstudio, and to use techniques of data analysis of classification, prediction, clustering and pattern recognition that help to data-driven decision making. Finally, students will be able to build dashboards that help to make decisions on an operational basis.
