Course objectives
Annotation The structure of the subject is designed so that the students will be broadly acquainted with themes regarding ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning Systems). The acquired knowledge will be based on different points of view. The crucial role of ERP as a critical tool for managing all enterprise processes will be presented, including the architecture of these systems and terminology used in the field. The critical processes controlled by ERP systems will be introduced. Additionally, the student will be familiarized with the problems related to developing these systems, upgrades to new versions, and the product life cycle discussed concerning the Boston Matrix. The situation in the ERP market and solution selling methods will be broadly discussed based on the lecturer’s 18 years of experience in this area. The basic set of knowledge for professionals in this field will be addressed, and the working conditions and relationship knowledge and marketing methods will be examined, including the competitive advantages for students. The possibilities of acquired knowledge utilization will be explored, including all imaginable requirements from prospective employers. During these lessons, we will go through the primary methods used for process control with necessary relationships to ERP tools such as Theory of Constraints, Risk Management, Project Management, Critical Chain, Balanced Scorecard, Business Intelligence, Ishikawa Fishbone diagram, Kepner-Tregoe methodology, and fundamental process optimization by use of a simplex algorithm. The basics of Little´s law. The students will be acquainted with confirmed case studies during the course. This knowledge transfer will be based on the actual expertise of the lecturer who has worked and still works on domestic and international ERP implementation projects. During the hands-on parts of the subject, the students will perform the essential functions using the ERP MS Dynamics NAV RTC 2016w1, such as Financial Management, Purchase and Sales, Supply Chain Management, Inventory Management, and Costing and Basic Manufacturing Principles. The students will acquire the necessary information about the inner logic of the system and how to control given tasks. They will be able to solve problems related to material and financial flows and see all impacts of various managerial decisions. The main aims of the subject are as follows: The student will understand the reasons for ERP usage as a nonexpendable tool for controlling processes. The student will acquaint knowledge of the ERP market and all business processes related to intangible assets and services sales. Understanding the basics of modern managerial methods and defining the problems often nested in a range of business and production processes, where customers expect, that usage of ERP systems will help them decrease the inauspicious influences. Students will be able to define the benefits expected due to implementation processes. Every student will probably meet these problems in their everyday 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 ERP systems and use of training materials including e-learning files.
Assessment methods
For standard full-time study the courses 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. Taking into consideration the complex characteristics of the subject the tuition requires, that the course switches often 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 by 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 processes 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 written materials, which 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. The questions used for BPH_PIS1 testing is considered as a basics for questions used for Bachelor's final state examination. The acquired knowledge of BPH_PIS1 will be useful for elaboration of Bachelor's thesis.
