Logistics of Transport and Handling Systems

FSI-DLDAcad. year: 2024/2025

The course in Logistic of the transport and handling introduces with logistic services and costs and with their influence upon the effective functions of transport-handling systems. Material flow, its analysis and evaluation methods are discussed. Mathematical expression of handling-transport problem. Methods of minimizing transport costs. Utilization of a computer support for the simulation of transport-handling processes.

Aims

The aim of course is to acquaint with a conception, sense and meaning of logistics, transport planning, material handling and conveyor system planning. Logistics as an instrument of optimalization, cost reduction and marketing in transport. Logistic factors. Logistic strategy in transport.Introduction to numerical simulation program and its associated programming languages. The possibility of its use for solving transport-handling processes.
Obtaining basic knowledge of the logistic functions in transport and handling with materials. Students will be able to determine suitable logistic coefficient and to execute the calculation of logistic costs and outputs. Students will learn the principles simulating simple transport and handling processes using numerical software.

Study aids
