Language of instruction čeština
Code 545-0407
Abbreviation SA
Course title System Analysis
Coordinating department Department of Economics and Control Systems
Course coordinator Ing. Jiří Švub, Ph.D.

Summary

After completing the course, the student will be able to describe the basic principles of system analysis and characterize selected methods of graph theory and network analysis. He/she will be able to interpret graph models, solve minimum distance and critical path problems, and use the CPM and PERT methods for simple project management tasks. He/she will be able to explain the principles of Petri nets and topological decomposition and interpret their use in the analysis of systems and logistics processes.

Knowledge

The student will be able to define and describe the basic concepts of system analysis, graph theory, and network analysis, characterize the CPM and PERT methods, and describe the principles of Petri nets and topological decomposition. He/she will be able to distinguish between individual methods and identify areas of their use.

Skills

The student will be able to construct and interpret simple graph models, solve minimum distance and critical path problems, and apply the CPM and PERT methods to assigned tasks. He/she will be able to construct and interpret a simple model using a Petri net and perform a basic topological decomposition of the system.

General competencies

The student is able to select an appropriate system analysis method for a given problem, interpret the obtained results and compare solution options on their basis. He/she is able to explain and present the analysis results in the context of project management, logistics processes and other system tasks.
