When we talk about logistics e transport We commonly understand the transport of goods from point A, the warehouse, to point B, the end customer. However, the logistics sector in a company encompasses a much more complex range of tasks than one might think.

Logistics is a sector in continuous evolution and is one of the main components of a company's production cycle. It deals with the processes of transport of productsbut also of the information management concerning exchange, procurement, storage and all components of the logistical flow.

According to theItalian Association of Logistics and Supply Chain Management, AILOGtransport is one of the fundamental components of the logistical flow. Transport planning as part of a logistics system is necessary so that the company's performance can be optimised. In order to be able to transport goods in the most efficient way, optimising costs and time, one must be able to analyse the basic transport logic by road, rail, sea and air.

Given the increasing complexity of managing the sector, it is more advantageous to rely on experts in the fieldtrained to be ready to handle any problems that may arise in the logistics flow.

The ITS Logistics and Mobility Course aims to train experts in logistics management, logistics planning and the control of the flow of vehicles, goods and people. One of the course objectives is to focus on the sustainable mobility. Through lectures and in-depth fieldwork, students will become real professionals in the logistics and transport sector.
