Three intensive weeks to offer a very practical look at how globalisation and digitalization of sourcing, manufacturing, and distribution activities require effective (re-)design and efficient operations of logistics & supply chain management processes. The ability to maintain a smooth, constant and efficient flow of goods and services to industry and society represents a key competitive advantage: daily challenges in terms of processes, organisation and costs optimization are analysed in the course, with case studies, simulations, and multi-media learning materials providing a rich, relevant and practical experience with real-world application.
Participants will be provided with the most important lean tools that are used to create flow. Office and service environment will be evaluated and different mapping tools will be introduced.
Company visits to internationally successful Italian companies will enrich the competencies of the participants on operation, logistics and lean management, offering the opportunity to integrate different points of view with a practical prospective from the business world. Additionally, participants will be involved in a teamwork related to the subjects taught in class, with the supervision of CUOA’s faculty, in order to be fully involved and to increment their creativity and decision making capacities.
The strong applicability of the program and the comparison in a multicultural class will allow participants to foster their ability to effectively interact with people from all over the world, to carry on team works reaching successful results, to create network and redefine boundaries, while enjoying a multicultural experience in Italy.
The core program is complemented by the possibility to participate in two optional study tours, respectively to the World Trade Organization in Geneva and to the Fashion District of Milan.
This intensive program is addressed to undergraduates, graduates and young professionals interested in Business Administration and motivated to broaden their knowledge, upgrade their job-related skills and boost their career. It aims to develop essential skills in Logistics, Operations, and quality control using, as a reference, the concept of Lean Manufacturing (Toyotism) applied to factories and services. During the program, planning concepts to support strategic, tactical and operational decisions are presented and participants will also learn fundamentals of Lean Thinking from its origins throughout TPS, being involved in a deeper view of Value Stream Mapping, the fundamental tool upon which the strategic transformation plan is based.
