1.1. Aims of the course
Production activity in companies is their reason for being. The company produces goods and / or services, which it places on the market, and for this it must coordinate a set of elements that configure its operations and interrelate these with the other activities that are carried out in it. In addition, there are currently multiple technical and legal specifications applicable to a product and an installation.
In the development of the daily activity of a production plant, it is necessary to perform different functions in order to properly manage the production of the product, from the raw material to the finished product that will be sent to the customer, as well as control and maintenance of the production facility. In this way, throughout the process, adequate control of all activities related to the manufacture of the product will be ensured.
Therefore, in this subject the student seeks to enter the production environment and learn about the elements that are part of it, as well as different techniques for planning and managing production.
1.2. Context and importance of this course in the degree
Production activity in companies is their reason for being. The company produces goods and / or services, which it places on the market, and for this it must coordinate a set of elements that configure its operations and interrelate these with the other activities that are carried out in it. Furthermore, there are currently multiple technical and legal specifications applicable to products and installations.
In the development of the activity of a production plant, it is necessary to perform different functions in order to adequately manage production, from the raw material to the finished product that will be sent to the customer, as well as the maintenance of the installation. productive. In a current conception of this management, it is necessary to include warehouses, since a large part of industrial activity is based on the movement of products.
In a context in which profitability must be maximum, it is advisable to have a virtual model of the real system so that by means of simulation, different tests can be carried out and the effects of different organizational decisions, planning, operations design, etc. can be verified. before investing time and capital.
Therefore, in this subject the student seeks to enter the production environment and learn about the elements that are part of it, as well as different techniques for planning and managing production and storage.

2.3. Importance of learning goals
The design of the production facility, proper planning and management of production and maintenance, as well as warehouse management are fundamental knowledge for the development of professional activity in the productive environment by the student. For this reason, it is very convenient for the future graduate to have knowledge and skills related to these subjects (which are present in the vast majority of industrial fields).
In addition, this subject allows the student to integrate knowledge acquired in previous subjects, as well as obtain a clear business vision of them.
3. Assessment (1st and 2nd call)
3.1. Assessment tasks (description of tasks, marking system and assessment criteria)
The student must demonstrate that they have achieved the expected learning outcomes through the following assessment activities.
Gradual evaluation:
The monitoring of the subject is recommended and in this sense a gradual evaluation system is offered. Thus, during the course of the course, the student will be able to demonstrate that he has achieved some required theoretical-practical learning results. The tests of the gradual evaluation release matter in any of the two official calls.
1) Evaluation of the practical sessions.
It represents 55% of the final grade.
To evaluate the practical contents of the subject, students have planned to prepare a set of works, associated with the sessions of problems and practices, in which they will solve the cases presented based on the tools learned. The criteria for evaluating these works will be: adequate content, good approach, extraction of interesting conclusions and good presentation.
Failure to deliver reports on date and / or obtaining grades below 4.0 in any report or questionnaire, will suppose a negative evaluation of said test. In this case, you can recover in the global exam.
Npract = average of qualifications of questionnaires and reports related to practices if they all exceed the minimum grade of 4.0
2) Control over Warehouse Management.
It represents 10% of the final grade and a minimum grade of 4/10 must be obtained. It will take place during the course, setting its date at the beginning of the course.
3) Control over Production Management.
It represents 25% of the final grade and a minimum grade of 4/10 must be obtained. It will take place during the course, setting its date at the beginning of the course.
4) Control over Maintenance Management.
It represents 10% of the final grade and a minimum grade of 4/10 must be obtained. It will take place during the course, setting its date at the beginning of the course.1
Final grade = 0.55 Npract + 0.1 Warehouse Control + 0.25 Production Control + 0.1 Maintenance Control
Overall evaluation:
To be carried out, on the date set by the center, by students who have not exceeded the minimums of the gradual evaluation.
Global exam of practical sessions: Assumes 55% of the final grade. You can choose to do only the part not passed during the gradual evaluation. A minimum grade of 4.0 must be obtained in each exercise.
Written test on theoretical-practical questions and technical cases related to the syllabus of the subject. It must be done if a score lower than 4/10 has been obtained in all controls; If you have not passed any part, you can choose to do only the part not passed during the gradual evaluation. A minimum grade of 4.0 / 10 must be obtained to average,
The grade of the course obtained from the weighted average of the tests must be equal to or greater than 5.0 to pass the course. The results obtained in the passed tests will be kept until the end of the academic year.
4. Methodology, learning tasks, syllabus and resources
4.1. Methodological overview
A teaching program of 30 hours of master classes, 6 hours of problems, 18 hours of laboratory practices, 6 hours of visits to companies, as well as the preparation of a series of works of interest (60 hours). These works will be carried out sometimes in groups of 3 or 4 students and in other cases, individually.
In the sessions with the whole group, the most theoretical aspects are treated in the form of a master class and completed with immediate applications: type-problems. It is planned to provide the students with the documentation corresponding to each topic sufficiently in advance, so that the student knows the contents of the subject to be treated, which will favor a more participatory class.
Practices are carried out in 2-hour sessions. Each group is scheduled to carry out the practices from Monday to Friday. As in the theoretical teaching, students will have the practical script in advance.
Both classroom and laboratory sessions will equip the student with knowledge and skills to carry out different practical cases. These cases have been proposed so that each group of students will apply different techniques throughout the course, working on a company that will be delivered to them at the beginning of the course. This company will maintain it throughout all sessions. On it, different situations will be considered for the application of the knowledge indicated in the established modules that reflect real situations, in which the student must apply the corresponding technique and make the appropriate decisions for the situation.
The evaluation is focused on the most practical aspects. It is intended to encourage both group work and individual effort and a plan has been made so that the hours of dedication are balanced each week.
