21210467 - DIGITALIZATION AND INNOVATION OF PRODUCTION PROCESSES

The purpose of the course is to analyze the phenomenon of technological innovation and the digitization of production processes and the provision of services in order to interpret technical-social-economic aspects in the global context. The issue of digitization concerns both the design of new products and services and its application to production processes within the entire supply chain. The course will provide ideas for identifying and evaluating benefits and impacts related to the introduction of technological innovation of Industry 4.0, with particular reference to Artificial Intelligence, Augmented Reality, Internet of Things as well as Big data. The following topics are also addressed: improvement of the effectiveness and efficiency of production processes according to the principles of Lean logic and Digital Quality.
The teaching methodology used includes group work, external seminars and classroom discussions, deepening and experimenting with some techniques used by successful startups all over the world to create new digital products, bring them to the market and make them grow quickly.
