4. MANAGEMENT CONTROL SYSTEMS
Code: 095915
Credits: 8.00
Grade: 26
Date: 24/09/2015
Subject groups
ING-IND/35 BUSINESS AND MANAGEMENT ENGINEERING
The programme
The course aims to introduce the students to the theme of management control systems, as a
tool for supporting decision-making and ensuring accountability. Due to the evolution of the
competitive context, decision-makers at company level, have to deal with several different
objectives and actors that take part to the decision-making process, leading to a high level
complexity. In addition, they have to deal with the lack of certain information, in connection to the
current situation, and, in particular, to future scenarios. This situation requires the ability to
understand different "languages" and to interpret and analyse the so called "weak signal", that
anticipate the evolution of the competitive scenario. In such context, this course aims to answer
to the above challenges, proving the students with tools and instruments that could support them
in modeling a specific scenario, leading to the choice of the alternatives that are more coherent
with the company's strategy, and also interpreting data and actual results, after the decision has
been made. In addition, thanks to group works and practical applications, students can develop
their team-working ability. In details, the course addresses the following topics: - Objectives,
requirements and components of the management control system, with specific reference to
budgeting, performance measurement, and reporting; - Economic indicators, non financial
indicators, and balanced scorecard; - Discounted Cash Flows techniques; - Reporting of different
organizational units: information needs at different organizational levels; business unit reporting
and responsibility centers reporting; - Target setting and budgeting; - Cost acconting system; -
Design and implementation of the management control system. (Course held in English)

Subject groups
ING-IND/21 METALLURGY
The programme
The course supplies to the students information and knowledge of the structural and functional
materials typically used in the energy industry and of the of the phenomena that affect them
during fabrication or service life, this latter frequently characterized by the presence of high or
low temperatures and/or aggressive environments. The knowledge of such phenomena is
fundamental both in the design step of components (including the identification of the optimal
alloy and of the fabrication/heat treatment processes) and in the future controls of finished or
serviced part. The main topics presented in the course are: the behaviour of materials (metals,
ceramics and polymers) and their degradation phenomena occurring under the typical service
conditions related to thermal and environmental effects, the different classes of structural and
functional materials typically employed for different plant and component types, the control of
material conditions before/during service. The course includes thematic lessons on materials
and topics of particular interest and technical tours. A simple project on a particular combination
of material class/degradation phenomenon/engineering application will be carried out individually
during the course.
