Teaching methodologies (including students’ assessment):The teaching component of this Curricular Unit, CU, comprises theoretical-practical classes (i.e. presentation of concepts and corresponding practical illustration).These classes will have an expository component of the concepts and fundamentals involved in each of the topics discussed and a practical component aimed at the appreciation and analysis of illustrative examples and case studies, which may involve the use of computational tools and support. 

The main learning objectives are addressed to the:
O1- fundamental knowledge in the area of logistics and supply chain management;
O2- specific treatment of logistic operations and their role in the supply chain (i.e., supply, production, transport anddistribution, stocks, retail, and customer service);
O3 – assessment of models, methodologies and support techniques for the management and planning of logisticaloperations in the supply chain;
O4 – practical application of the models.
Students should also develop, such as skills and competences:
C1 – in the various stages of logistics management and its integration into the supply chain;
C2 – to characterize the performance standard and critical success factors in supply chain management;
C3 – to successfully apply adequate quantitative methods to logistics and supply chain management.
