Planeamento, Controlo e Direção de Operações

Nothing to specify.

The operations management dealt with in this course includes the activities of planning, directing and controlling the execution of the operations needed to realise the projects.
Within the scope of planning, students are made aware of the advantages of contacting several companies for the execution of each activity, and of carrying out advance planning of all the work to be carried out, based both on the proposals received and on historical information resulting from the execution of previous projects, including the identification and characterisation of the tasks necessary for the execution of the projects, taking into account any constraints and the respective executors.
At this stage, the importance of support facilities for project execution is also analysed, and the knowledge needed to design these facilities is passed on.
In terms of management and control, time, cost and quality are addressed, assessing the work being carried out in order to identify deviations and anticipate events that require corrective action. Considering that payment for work carried out depends on the work carried out during the same period, the knowledge needed to draw up monthly progress reports is passed on.

– Draw up price requests to suppliers and carry out comparative assessments – Identify the activities, define their sequence,
– Calculating durations and drawing up work plans
– Identify gaps and critical activities

the assessment of the subject is periodic.

students will carry out individual or group practical work and assessment tests, and for final grades above 17 there will be an oral defense.

• the works must be delivered in “pdf” format on the dates defined in each person’s statement, and will be carried out individually or in a group, preferably during classes;

• some works must be presented by students in the following class, although  this presentation is not mandatory it contributes to the respective classification;

• practical works are mandatory, therefore, their component in the assessment will be included in all seasons, and works from previous academic years should not be considered.

students who are unable to pass the periodic assessment and decide to take the exam must also complete the practical works, which are mandatory and in this situation are worth 50% of the final grade, and also obtain a minimum grade of 30% in the exam.

the aforementioned exam will preferably be written, and may take the form of an oral test in situations where this proves to be more appropriate, namely in Special Seasons and for Associative Leaders.

students who do not reach the established minimum grade will be awarded, as a final and overall result of the assessment, a grade of 7.00.
