• Industry Engineering, Semester 3, position 1

The aim of the course is to master the theory and practice of production organization so that industrial/mechanical engineers, after taking this course, will be able to make a detailed assessment of the current state and raise the general level of organization of a manufacturing company. The methods and techniques of production organization, which students master during this course, are essential in performing the daily tasks of industrial/mechanical engineers.

By mastering the course program, the student acquires the competencies to: 1. design and improve classic and modern types of organizational structures of enterprises in a complex and/or digital environment, 2. apply models, methods and techniques of strategic production management, 3. apply methods and techniques of operational production management, 4. apply methods and techniques of designing workplaces in production, 5. examine the conditions of the working environment 6. applies quality management methods and techniques and 7. explains the connection between the above competencies for decision-making. Upon completion of the course, the student is able to diagnose and improve the level of production organization in the company.. Upon completion of the course, the student is able to diagnose and improve the level of production organization in the enterprise.

Business and production systems. Basic concepts of production management. The role and importance of production management in modern business models. Basic principles of modern production philosophy. Digital transformation and avenues of production systems development. Organizational structure in organizational theory. Organizational structuring in the digital economy. Strategic analysis and forecasting of the future of a production company. Production policies, strategies and goals - definition and implementation. Forecasting models and methods in strategic production management. Operational production management. Planning, organizing and allocation of resources and costs in operational production management - methods and techniques. Methods and techniques for recording jobs. Study and measurement of work. Working environment conditions in manufacturing companies. Job design in production companies. Quality management in production companies.

The exercises are implemented through a project, where the main task is to determine the most important organizational problems in a production company and ways to solve them in order to raise the level of organization and rationalize operations and production. The project tasks includes: 1. Recording the state of relevant factors of operations and production in real conditions. 2. Designing macro, micro and intra organizational structures. 3. Static and dynamic aspects with the content of jobs by organizational units. 4. Application of models and forecasting methods in strategic production management. 5. Application of methods and techniques for planning, organizing and allocating resources and costs in operational production management. 6. Application of methods and techniques for recording jobs and designing jobs in production. 7. Measurement and testing of working environment conditions in production companies. 8. Application of methods and techniques for quality management in production companies.
