How you'll learn
100% online training on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and an assigned technical tutor. No fixed timetables: students progress at their own pace within the intake, which makes it possible to combine study with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is SAP EWM, AnyLogic, Siemens Plant Simulation, Primavera P6, AutoCAD, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Case studies are based on real procedures for planning the transport of heavy equipment to the shipyard, simulating block movements in the yard, and redesigning outfitting warehouses. Assessment is continuous by module, plus the final integrating project.
Build it end to end
Your final project follows the real engineering workflow, step by step, reviewed by your tutor.
Describe the logistics flows of a shipyard and their relationship with the port.
