Intended learning outcomes (Knowledges, skills and competencies to be developed by the students)
FRAMEWORK
The significant increase in competitiveness at local, national and international levels obliges companies, more and more, to aim at minimizing production costs, shortening and meeting deadlines and achieving adequate quality standards of products and services.
Such objectives can only be achieved through the correct sizing, updating and qualification of the available means, and even when an organization has adequate organizational and control processes that allow the optimal use of these means.

Teaching methodologies
METHODOLOGY OF TEACHING / LEARNING
Presently, the classroom-based theoretical-practical classes are replaced by online classes, and, in the near future, they may be switched to mixed, face-to-face and online classes, as defined in the MCE calendar, if the pandemic situation permits and so is defined. by ESCE / IPS.
With support in the knowledge and experiences that the students have, discussions and exchanges of experiences will be promoted, in the presentations in the different sessions, so that all the participants are more enriched in their knowledge, namely in the matters of production management and business sciences.
More than that proceeding to the mere transmission of information, in an expositive logic, it is intended to achieve a logic of knowledge production and promote learning and development that allows each participant to deepen their specific knowledge base, stimulating autonomy, capacity for analysis and critical reflection, creativity and innovation.
Thus, the expository and participatory methods will be used to introduce and discuss concepts, techniques and models, and the participatory method in the analysis, discussion and resolution of exercises.
The group work method will be used in the analysis, understanding, description and characterization of a company's production subsystem, with the identification of possible improvement or development options and the conclusion of the production subsystem's contribution to the company's competitiveness, and the coaching method will be applied in monitoring and development of group work.
In addition to synchronous sessions and possible face-to-face classes, Students must hold asynchronous sessions (Student work sessions, with the support of materials and or bibliography provided by the teacher) and individual and autonomous Student work sessions (research, study, analysis and critical reflection, creativity and innovation).
A space for debate and clarification of doubts is promoted by carrying out asynchronous activities, through the creation of a forum on the moodle platform.
Demonstration of the teaching methodologies coherence with the curricular unit's intended learning outcomes
COHERENCE OF TEACHING METHODOLOGIES WITH THE OBJECTIVES OF LEARNING
In synchronous sessions and possible face-to-face classes the expository method is used to present the concepts, techniques and models, and the participative method centred on the students, in the analysis and discussion of several organizational examples, their experiences and experiences involving them in the teaching-learning process and developing the capacity for analysis and critical reflection, self-discipline, creativity, innovation and interest and aptness for the investigation of Production Management issues.
The combination of the two methods will lead students to acquire the knowledge that enables them to understand the production management subsystem and its impact on business strategy, organizational life and functional areas, define, understand and distinguish the different environments, processes and technologies of production, define and understand the implantation, capacity, and work organization, recognizing and using these elements as factors of competitiveness and defining and understanding the processes of stock management and operations planning.
Participatory method is also used in the analysis, discussion and resolution of exercises, since it allows students to be involved and to acquire in a consolidated way the techniques of establishing and calculating different productivities of a system of operations, selecting investment options in equipment, of balancing assembly lines, of sizing services and of planning and scheduling production, since experience and practice lead to the discovery, assimilation of knowledge and decision-making autonomy.
The group work method is used to understand, describe and analyse the production system of a company and identify possible options for improvement or development and conclude on the contribution of production management to the company’s competitiveness, as it allows the application of knowledge in an organizational context, generating analysis and critical reflection capabilities, creativity and innovation, management skills and competences, autonomy in decision making and problem solving, teamwork skills and encouragement of individual and team continuous improvement and creating aptitude for research and investigation through research, investigation and job design;
The method of coaching that aims at non-directive follow-up, questioning and active listening is applied in the follow-up and development of the work.
The asynchronous sessions and the individual and autonomous work sessions of the Student lead to autonomy, problem solving and decision making, as well as to the development of capacities for analysis and critical reflection, creativity and innovation and creating appetite for research and investigation of themes in the area of Production Management.
The test allows the evaluation of concepts, techniques, models and their application, verifying that their objectives have been reached, and the group work will show the integration and consolidation of the knowledge, in organizational context, as well as the above mentioned skills and competences, validating the objectives.
Assessment methodologies and evidences
EVALUATION SYSTEM
The assessment system will have to be validated by the Pedagogical Council.
1 - Continuous Evaluation
The knowledge assessment is continuous and consists of the following:
• Performing an Individual Test (T)
• Group Work (GW)
Final Classification = 40% T + 60% GW
Remarks:
a) Students will be approved with a classification of the Test and of the Group Work greater than or equal to 10 values, considering the elements individually.
c) The classification of the GW can be individual, if the teacher so chooses;
d) All elements related to the GW are defined in the respective guide.
2 Evaluation in Time of Appeal and in Special Time
The knowledge assessment is constituted as follows:
• Performing an Individual Exam (E)
100% Exam
Remarks:
a) Students will be approved with a classification of the Exam higher or equal than 10 values.
3 Situations associated with fraud in the evaluation process
It should be noted that, according to Despacho n.º 40 / Presidente / 2021:
"1. whenever, in the online or face-to-face assessment process, there is a situation of proven fraud, the test, exam or work / report / project is cancelled, leaving the student subject to the application of the Disciplinary Regulation of Students of the Polytechnic Institute of Setúbal (Despacho n.ª 13714/2016, published in Diário da República, 2ª série, N.º 219 on November 15);
2. the annulment referred to in the previous point leads to the disapproval of the … [subject] at the time to which it relates;
3. whenever, in the result obtained in the online or face-to-face assessment tests, there is a situation of suspected fraud, the Head of Course (RUC) may require the student to perform a further oral assessment, complementary and solely to validate the results obtained, according to the following rules:
a. the RUC justifies the suspicion of fraud to the School Director, presenting a report that explains the reasons for the suspicion;
b. after analysis, and after hearing the student(s) involved, it is the responsibility of the School Director to approve the said assessment oral; ”
