Students have to hand over a written flow process chart and value stream map model via e-learning by the end of 7th of the semester in the form file1 (flow proces chart): teamleadersurname1.xls or similar teamleadersurname1.xxx and 9th week file2 (value stream map) teamleadersurname2.vsdx or teamleadersurname2.xxx. Late submission will be penalized 5 points from the total score of semester project.
Semester project(s) evaluation is based on weight of following factors i. e. theoretical knowledge understanding and application (40 %); solution approach, scope and quality (40 %); meeting with formal conditions (formal and graphic form etc.) (20 %).
