Description

VALUE CHAIN ​​IN LOGISTICS.

 

This subject has methodological and digital resources to make possible its continuity in non-contact mode in the case of being necessary for reasons related to the Covid-19. In this way, the achievement of the same knowledge and skills that are specified in this teaching plan will be ensured.

The TecnoCampus will make available to teachers and students the digital tools needed to carry out the course, as well as guides and recommendations that facilitate adaptation to the non-contact mode.

Learning outcomes

Analyze the value chain of the company, taking into account the factors of each of the processes. 

Working methodology

The teaching methodology of the subject is divided into two parts: face-to-face sessions and independent work.

In the face-to-face sessions the teachers will teach the theory, interspersing practical examples that will facilitate the learning of the knowledge explained and will help the student in the resolution of exercises and practical activities.

In a complementary way, the student will have to work autonomously to deepen in the theoretical and practical concepts seen in classes, as well as to do a work in group.
