The course of "Technology of production cycles" aims to provide students with conceptual and analytical tools to identify and understand some relevant phenomena both in the business and in the economic sphere. It aims to illustrate the evolution of technology, its future scenario, its application in the business reality. To this end the interest is mainly focused on the study of the different types of production processes and on the organization of production through a careful analysis of the reference parameters and of the characteristic components such as:- technology and organization of production from the origins to reality current,- relationship between the organization of production processes and the organization of work and the company - the production processes in relation to the new needs and the strategic parameters of production, including technological, economic and environmental aspects - quality from evolution historical to current reality and quality management through the latest tools

head-on lectures held in the classroom by the lecturer/s ; lessons will eventually be integrated with seminars held by experts coming from companies and insitutions. The lessons can also be integrated with online exercises also for self-assessment by the studentsAttendance
Class attendance is not mandatory but is extremely useful and encouraged. Anyway students who do not attend the lessons can discuss about the topics of the program during dedicated meeting whit teacher, as scheduled in the website.Type of evaluation
Evaluation of the achievement of training objectives will carried out by oral examination; the online exercises carried out during the course are mainly aimed at encouraging students' self-assessment. Different methods of assessment (written test) may be adopted in response to particular needs on the part of the students. teacher profile teaching materials
