Research Lines

With an area of concentration in Quality and Production Management, this Master Program has a wide scope for acting; it approaches issues related to systems of production of goods and services, both in the perspective of the process (production system flow management) and in the decision-making level (strategic/tactic/operational), or even in themes related to value added by these systems (quality, efficiency and effectivity). The area of concentration is structured in two lines of research.

Modelling and Analysis of Production and Quality Systems

It approaches solution of decision-making problems or of management at tactic-operational level, through quantitative or qualitative-quantitative, static or dynamic, uni or multivariate, deterministic or probabilistic methods.

Strategies of Quality and Production Systems

It concentrates interests related to strategic-tactic or long-term decision-making, in which uncertainty or characteristics of scope go beyond the capacity of purely quantitative, requiring other decision-making and quality and production management methods.
