Aims

The aim is to manage production processes, focusing on the tools of long-term thinking of business management to develop a business, in favor of another chain link, but also the business itself. The overall concept of business should be based on the production and value chain paradigm between development - purchase - production - logistics - sales - marketing and customer value. It is necessary to approach the realization of the stated intention from the point of view that the company does not only create business outputs, but also creates employees for continuous improvement to the development of business. The manufacturing process must be seen as an economic function that takes value in the market and market segments. It transforms inputs into outputs and necessarily creates customer added value in order to eliminate the innovative economic risk. Increasing value added for the customer is also tied to the services provided by the enterprise, which must be part of engineering activities, ie production preparation. Today, services are an essential part of the “time to market” approach, leading to the company's competitiveness and maintaining its customer satisfaction position.
The acquired knowledge is to teach students to think, design and realize the challenges of the future time period within the new economic environment, where entrepreneurship is understood as a set of activities with the mission to implement strategic objectives successfully in the following areas: economic, social and environmental. Tripple Bottom Line (TBL) or 3P (profit, people, planets - Elkington, 2004). Focusing on increasing customer value added to the services provided by an enterprise that must be part of engineering activities, ie production preparation.
