Course detail

Logistics in Transport and Handling

FSI-9LDM Acad. year: 2024/2025 Winter semester

The course in Logistics in transport and handling is aimed at optimisation of handling and transport processes. Logistical costs and outputs. The valution of handling and transport processes(logistical factors). The simulation of handling and transport processes with computer utilization.

Language of instruction

Czech

Entry knowledge

Successful completion of the course is conditional on the basic knowledge of technical mechanics, physics and higher mathematics.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

The exam is evaluated with acquired knowledge and the ability to apply them. The exam is written with a final oral interview.

Teaching takes the form of lectures and consultations. Lectures are optional, attendance at tutorials is obligatory.

Aims

The aim of the course is to familiarize the students with logistic approaches in the handling of handling and transport processes. Assessment of logistics processes and their cross-sectional functions. Possibilities of modeling of traffic handling processes.


Students will gain knowledge of logistic approaches to handling traffic-handling processes. They are able to identify appropriate logistic indicators for transport-handling systems and carry out their evaluation.
