Learning outcomes
|
The goal of this subject is to acquaint a technical oriented student with the field called Theory of systems. This subject introduces basic directions of the theory of systems with a particular emphasis on soft systems and on biological issues of systems. Therefore there is represented a number of unusual terms that relate to this research area. The subject shows differences from "current" hard systems that are used for example in computers, logistics systems and production facilities. This approach develops the student by the form of demonstrations, analysis, problem solving tasks with the help of quality management tools and also calculations with respect to a complex understanding and the concepts of systems in the organisation. The intention is through the perception of these relationships to strengthen the competitiveness of the organisation by better understanding so called an internal context by its employees.
Students will acquire basic theoretical knowledge and practical skills in the theory of systems.
