Objectives and competences
The objectives of the course are:
• explain the impact of production characteristics on internal logistics in the production environment
• theoretically and practically present different implementations of internal logistics systems in the production environment
• present indicators of internal logistics efficiency in the production environment
• present the concept of lean and its use in improving internal logistics in the production environment
• present ergonomics and its use in improving internal logistics in the production environment
• determining the economic justification of introduction of novelties in the internal logistics of the production company.
Competences acquired by students:
• educate the student to the level that he/she is able to lead internal logistics in a small company and introduce minor changes.
Content (Syllabus outline)
Lectures:
1. Influence of production characteristics on internal logistics in production environments
2. Basic layouts of production and assembly systems and their influence on material handling system (material, tools, waste, protection material and storage.
3. Intralogistic solutions and concepts in production environments
4. Informatin system for internal logistics in production environments
5. Material and information flow excecution in production environments
6. Lean and productivity

Learning and teaching methods
Lectures: students understand the theoretical frameworks of the course. Part of the lecture course is in a classroom while the rest is in the form of e-learning (e-lectures may be given via video-conferencing or with the help of specially designed e-material in a virtual electronic learning environment).
Tutorials: Students enhance their theoretical knowledge and are able to apply it. Part of the seminar is in a classroom while the rest is in the form of e-learning (e-tutorials may be given via video-conferencing or with the help of specially designed e-material in a virtual electronic learning environment).
Intended learning outcomes - knowledge and understanding
Students will:
• find data on production on which they will base operative decisions,
• describe material flow on production layout
• find design possibilities for internal logistics according to the characteristics of production and compare them
• calculate the amount of investment and return on investment for small changes
• make a simple ergonomic assessment of the workplace
• perform the 5S method
• plan milk-run and kanban
• determine the method of supplying the production workplace
