• Semester 2, position 2

Understand the role and importance of industrial engineering. Identify the problems solved by industrial engineering. Basic concepts, methods and techniques from the field of industrial engineering. Learn the basic of planning, organizing and managing processes in companies.

Upon successful completion of this course, students should be able to: recognize and describe the main characteristics of industrial engineering, accept and discuss about industrial engineering, choose methods and techniques of industrial engineering in relation to the set requirements, apply methods and techniques of industrial engineering of engineering, adapt methods and techniques, solve basic organizational problems.

The concept of Industrial Engineering. Organization of factories. Production efficiency and effectiveness. Concept 4M. Lean production. Production capacity planning. Volume of production. Methods of market forecasting. Product development and research. Operational approach to product development. Rapid prototype development techniques. Critical path method. Operational planning and scheduling. Production processes and information technologies. Process mapping. Data flow diagrams. Ergonomics, application and importance. Anthropometry. Industrial logistics. Stock models. Analysis of production costs. QC diagram and breakpoint analysis.

The exercises follow the material from the lectures and after each lecture there are practical tasks in the given area. Tasks are created by manual calculation and in adequate software tools. As part of practical classes, students are prepared for colloquiums.

There are no special requirements for attending this course.

In addition to the recommended literature for this course, the faculty's website contains scripts from all lectures and instructions for creating a project assignment.
