Learning outcomes
The goal of the subject is to continue with a technically oriented student in problematics of the theory of systems with emphasis on soft systems. Their complexity is discussed in connection to the production process of the organisation. Student will be introduced to new trends in this field, which are even in the phase of the birth. These are, in particular, approaches and tools that are currently under-applied in the Czech Republic. The goal is to prepare students for new challenges of a modern organisational practice. The form of samples, analyzes, problem solving using by given management tools as well as calculations develops the student with regard to the complex understanding and concepts of systems in the organisation.
Students will acquire developing knowledge and practical skills in the theory of systems.
Prerequisites
Prerequisites are knowledge of RKI, RMI and TES subjects.
