Learning Results
Today’s logistic systems are strongly influenced by conflicting interests, is characterized by multiple factors of a widerand often complex system. It is in this context that the manager of a logistics system moves, being regularly asked tomake decisions.
In this Curricular Unit, we analyze optimization and decision techniques directed to logistics, including decisionanalysis models.
The Curricular Unit also involves an analysis of the main advances on Artificial Intelligence devoted to logistics,including sensors, automated processes and blockchain, generating large amounts of data, and their integration intoartificial intelligence systems.
It is intended that the student shows the ability to analyze optimization and decision models dedicated to logistics, aswell as discuss the solutions generated by them. The student must also know automated artificial intelligence systemswith application to logistics.
