Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Lectures are used to explain main theoretical basics of the subject. Exercises are aimed practically. Students prepare simulation models related to the problematic. They use among other and data coming from the industry.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Condition for a course-unit credit awarding:
Active participation in the seminars. The elaboration of a semester project and its presentation (30b+15b).

Exam: Evaluates the theoretical knowledge of the subject. Written test (55b)

The resulting evaluation is given by the sum of the individual scores profit from seminars and exam. For the successful completion of the course is needs to get at least 50 points.

Aims

The aim of the subject “Production management and marketing” is to provide students’ knowledge about the processes of production control in production company and to acquaint them with the basic principles of marketing.

Subject describes the types of planning systems, their characteristics and application in practice. Student will be acquainted with the issue of supply, purchase, logistics, finance, cost management, simulation and optimization of production systems and the application of this issue on examples.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

Participation in the seminars is mandatory. In seminars is evaluated activity and basic knowledge.
