*I started off day 5 by getting breakfast with my roommate at our hotel
*After breakfast, my peers and I headed to the Universitat de Autonoma Barcelona for a lecture on Logistics. The lecture was quite educational. I learned about the 7 r’s in logistics which are right: time, place, price, product, quantity, customers, and condition. I also learned that sea transports cover between 70-90% of all world transport. Ocean freight is the most prominent mode of logistical transportation.
*The professor at Universitat de Autonoma Barcelona did an amazing job on his presentation. It included video examples of global logistics companies such as DHL and their processes.
*After the lecture, my peers and I enjoyed a delicious lunch at La Pepa. We had 2 culturally rich appetizers to start as well as a salad. Next, we enjoyed seafood pasta with cheesecake for dessert.
*We later met back at the hotel to attend a lecture on lean six sigma the Dr. Gonzale’s. In the lecture, we learned more about a few lean tools in specific. Those include kaizen(recognize wrongdoing), Fishborne(cause and effect of problem), 5 y’s(find solution by asking y 5 times), Lack of control, and Ishikawa diagram(5 m’s)ManagementMenMethodsMotionMaterials.
*To wrap up the day, I grabbed dinner from KFC across the street from the hotel and settled in early. Tomorrow’s ventures start at 8am so I want to make sure I get enough rest.
