Course objectives
Annotation The aim of the course is to provide the knowledge necessary for understanding the basics of a process engineering. Basic principles and techniques used in operations management are indispensable for understanding the management and planning of manufacturing processes and other logically subsequent operations such as techniques of inventory management and control of subsequent manufacturing processes such as MRP, MRP-II, Drum-Buffer-Rope, Conwip and Lean Manufacturing. The principles and workflow will be presented. As a part of the subject a material and financial flow in production and business will be presented and tested in reality using a modern ERP system. The basics of methodology used in project management will be revealed particularly taking into consideration ERP implementation projects. Basics of Theory of Constraints (TOC) and its use in management processes and project management will be shown using Critical chain methodology. Case studies with use of TOC tools will be presented such as P&Q analysis. As a part of the management tools will be presented a used metrics and its classification. These metrics could be used for qualifying and evaluation of operation performance, project successfulness and efficiency. The main aims of the subject: Understanding the reasons and principles of modern methods and their usage as a nonexpendable tool for operation management (processes); enlargement of optics used in checking, evaluation and solving standard situation and problems, which are an indivisible parts of business, distribution and production processes as well as project management; to be able to define a problems and pains which have to be solved by customers every day; ability to define and explain basic benefits and bottom lines which could be reached if chosen method is applied and used correctly from the various angles of view; adoption of main relations and function of ERP system; Every student will probably meet these problems in their every day professional practice and the knowledge acquired in this subject will improve their orientation and give them a significant competitive advantage

Teaching methods
Lectures and seminars, modelling the typical case studies by using chosen ERP system and related discussions, self study, hands-on ERS systems
Assessment methods
For standard full-time study the course will be split into 13 blocs of lectures and every block will be 2 hours. Related seminars will also be split into 13 blocs and every block will be 2 hours. The subject is not provided for combined or other forms of study except for full-time study. The complex characteristic of the subject requires, that course switches from lectures to hands-on procedures and vice versa, so the attendance is mandatory for lectures and seminars. In every lesson the teacher will require discussion about the subject and will present real case studies from his expertise for a better understanding of usage of managerial methods and tools. Students will be supplied with the latest available demo version of an ERP system and it is expected, that this demo version will be installed on their private computers in order to check acquired skills during self study. The student ability to operate demo version of ERP during seminars will be continuously checked by teacher. The first part of the final exam will consist of a written part, in which the student will prepare a basis for the subsequent oral exam about managerial methods and the second hands on part where the student will present a required example of a daily process in ERP. The question will be supplied in advance and will be stored on the university server. The manuals and power points presentation related to every provided chapter will be stored on that server as well as the written materials, which will help to model required processes in ERP system.Any copying, keeping a record of tests or carrying the tests out, using forbidden aids including any communication devices or any other breach of objectivity of the exam is regarded as a failure to meet the obligations of the subject and as a serious breach of study regulations. As a consequence, the teacher grades the student with "F" and the dean is allowed to initiate a disciplinary action, which might lead to the termination of the studies.
