MSE Master of Science in Engineering

The Swiss engineering master's degree

Ogni modulo equivale a 3 crediti ECTS. È possibile scegliere un totale di 10 moduli/30 ECTS nelle seguenti categorie: 

  • 12-15 crediti ECTS in moduli tecnico-scientifici (TSM)
    I moduli TSM trasmettono competenze tecniche specifiche del profilo e si integrano ai moduli di approfondimento decentralizzati.
  • 9-12 crediti ECTS in basi teoriche ampliate (FTP)
    I moduli FTP trattano principalmente basi teoriche come la matematica, la fisica, la teoria dell’informazione, la chimica ecc. I moduli ampliano la competenza scientifica dello studente e contribuiscono a creare un importante sinergia tra i concetti astratti e l’applicazione fondamentale per l’innovazione 
  • 6-9 crediti ECTS in moduli di contesto (CM)
    I moduli CM trasmettono competenze supplementari in settori quali gestione delle tecnologie, economia aziendale, comunicazione, gestione dei progetti, diritto dei brevetti, diritto contrattuale ecc.

Quantitative Methods in Industrial Operations Management (TSM_QInOpMgmt)

Operations management is concerned with the design, operation and optimization of the value-adding areas of a company.
At the strategic level it includes in particular the design of infrastructure and resources, the dimensioning of capacity and the
definition of business processes. At an operational level, it includes ongoing planning and control of operational activities. The
aim is to achieve high business performance through clever organization and efficient use of resources.
In a first part an overview of the classical themes of Operations Management is given. In a second part selected methods of
quantitative Operations Management (see Operations Research) are applied to tasks of important areas (see. contents below)
of Operations Management. These tasks will be analyzed and optimized with the help of mathematical models.

Requisiti

Linear Algebra:

  • Solving systems of linear equations with Gaussian elimination
  • Vector and matrix calculus

Analysis:

  • Differential calculus of one variable

Statistics:

  • Fundamentals of probability theory
  • discrete and continuous density functions

Obiettivi di apprendimento

  • The students have an overview of the various areas of Operations Management.
  • The students can classify operational issues in the tasks of the Operations Management (i.e. design or operations).
  • The students know selected quantitative methods and models of Operations Management.
  • The students can make use of the learned methods and are aware of the assumptions and restrictions of these.
  • The students can formulate practical questions from Operations Management as mathematical models.
