All questions could be studied with the help of related study materials handed over to students during lessons held in Brno (Autumn-Winter 2015) Will be shortly reviewed (explained) during two lessons (26.11.2014 or 3.12.2014) taking into consideration, that date 10.12.2014, 16.12.2014 and 17.12.2014 is so far assigned date for the final exams. Important parts of below specified questions (TOC and CCMP) may be found in your Seminar works, which was as assigned to you, handed over, presented and defended and remarked (revised) by your tutor. Resources (actual to 18.11.2015). All files in below presented study material list were used during theoretical and practical lessons of or will be still used till the end of course MPH-AOMA course. Below listed material corresponds to all MS Dynamics Functions and its impact to operation management during practical lessons. This list have to be used for MS Dynamics NAV 2009 R2 studies. Mind you, that access to MS Dynamics NAV 2009 English version (British local currency and English database) is possible also in all public computer rooms! From this table mentioned below it is visible and clear which passages (TSx) were trained and shown during MS Dynamics NAV 2009 system hands on seminars. Training sessions marked by yellow colour will be handed over during next remaining sessions. Some of the TSx were not used, because they are outside of the course scope. For MPH-AOMA course only 158 slides will be used + 63 slides in PWP presentation MS Dynamics NAV Nothing simpler, which is also part of your study material as well !!! So all in all 221 slides !!
