Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Checking attendance at seminars, regular consultation protocols specified in the exercises

Course curriculum

1. Factors in the production process – labour, equipment and objects
2. Production process as a cyclic reproducible action, classification and specification of production processes.
3.Linking of production factors, complex process management in special and time structure.
4. Phases in production processes
5. Transformation law and changes in the production process. Changes arising outside the process itself and production environment definition

Aims

Production process modelling for the purpose of innovation. The objective is the teaching the principles of work in design planning, engineering and building supplier organisations at the production management of construction project using modern information systems. Solution of individual projects with orientation to the diploma thesis.

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

Extent and forms are specified by guarantor’s regulation updated for every academic year.

Recommended optional programme components

Individual solutions in relation to the assignments of diploma work
