Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students learn how to identify processes, find their critical factors of success and to logically derive the properties that require to be managed in order to lead to quality outputs. Identification of processes, risk analysis and use of suitable tools for correctional measures in time. Application of Failure Mode and Effects Analysis and Quality Function Development methods for minimization of incorrect inputs into processes.

Prerequisites

Completed courses Integrated systems of management and Statistical control of processes in FME students or courses with similar contents in students from other schools.

Co-requisites

Aims

Process management principles. Process identification and modelling. Dimensioning of sources. Rules for management documentation elaboration. Methods and tools of effective process management. Methods of risk analysis, prevention of risks. Application of previously studied theoretical courses and their use as tools for effective management of processes towards quality.

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

The attendance at seminars is compulsory. Every student must take part in all scored activities. An alternative assignment may be given to students if the condition is not met (in justified cases).
