Directed activities:
Theoretical classes: Agile theory and explanation of applied concepts.
Problem classes: Resolution of cases and situations typical of an operations director. Debate on strategic alternatives to real situations.
Seminars: Visit to a company in the chemical sector to analyze the supply chain. Displacement to companies in the region.
Autonomous activities:
Individual study. Preparation of diagrams and summaries.
Autonomous problem-solving work.
Use of prediction and planning software.
Search for documentation and bibliography: Consult the bibiliographic and documentary collections essential for the course.
The need for computer in theclasses will be required for the management of information and resolution of activities in classes. AI will be allowed to be used and we will work to understand what uses and practices AI brings benefits to companies.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

Test 2 | 45% | 3 | 0.12 | 1, 5, 6, 4, 3, 2, 7, 8 |
Continuous evaluation:
1st partial test (PP1) : 40% grade.
2nd partial test (PP2): 45% mark.
Practical work (TR): 15% grade
The second evaluation test will be cumulative, that is, it will be possible to enter material that has been evaluated in the first partial. The practical work will be visited by a chemical company in groups of 3 to 5 students to analyze its supply chain. It will be necessary to pass the evaluable tests with a grade higher than 4.
Final recovery test:
There will be a final test (PF) of recovery, for those students who have not passed the continuous evaluation (grade ' 5).
The final test will include an evaluation of the entire subject, and it will not be possible to recover only the partial tests not passed.
The final grade will be obtained from 85% of the recovery test and 15% of the work (TR).
General aspects:
Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures deemed appropriate, they will be rated with a zero
irregularities committed by the student that may lead to a variation in the grade of an evaluation act.
Therefore, copying, plagiarism, deceit, letting copy, etc. in any of the evaluation activities will imply
suspend it with a zero.
The exam review date will be made public at the time of publishing the grades through the
virtual teaching platform. In this context, claims may be made on the note of the activity, which will be
evaluated by the teaching staff responsible for the subject. If the student is not present for this review, it is not
You will review this activity later.
Honor plates. Granting an honors enrollment qualification is the decision of the teaching staff responsible for
the subject. UAB regulations indicate that MHs can only be granted to students who have
obtained a final grade equal to or greater than 9.00. It can be awarded up to 5% of MH of the total number of students
enrolled.
A student will be considered non-evaluable (NA) if he/she has not taken the partial tests or the final exam.
Repeating students will perform the same teaching content as the rest of the group.
This subject does not provide for the single assessment system.
