Learning Outcomes

(OB1) Purchasing habits of critical reflection and develop research capabilities, synthesis, structure and presentation of information in the field of distribution and Transport in conjunction with logistics.
(OB2) Recognize the multiplicity and complexity of issues related to logistics, distribution and transport, instilling the need for continuous updating of knowledge and skills.
(OB3) Know and understand the distribution and transport as corporate management activities; develop Transport strategies, location and level of service, framed in distribution and the company strategies.
(OB4) Develop capacities to plan, implement, manage, and integrate distribution and transport operations and optimization techniques and heuristics.
(OB5) Develop the ability to understand and analyse and solve problems of supply chain integration as regards distribution and transport in the supply chains integrating.
