| Profile of the Programme |
|---|
| The aim of the Quality Management and Management of Industrial Systems study programs is to educate middle and top industrial systems managers – managers in manufacturing enterprises, design companies, research, development and other specialized institutions, primarily in the industrial sphere of metallurgy and engineering, in connection with the automotive industry. Study is based on a balanced synergistic combination of familiarity with quality management, managerial-economic knowledge and modern management, information and communication technologies. This knowledge and these skills create the prerequisites for the performance of managing positions in conditions undergoing automation, robotization and manufacturing within Industry 4.0.
Specialization in Quality Management aims to educate experts with deep understanding of quality management systems and approaches and methods of quality management and applied statistics when planning, managing and improving product quality. Graduates will also be equipped with information on the approaches to certification and other processes of compliance assessment, management of knowledge and changes, as well as legal issues in product quality.
The aim of the Industrial Economics and Management specialization is the application of theoretical knowledge to practical, synthetic conclusions and the ability to independently resolve the issues of company functions (production, human resources, scientific-technological, sales and financial) in material, economic, organizational, information and managing contexts.
The aim of the Intelligent Management Systems in Industry specialization is the application of acquired knowledge, methods and means of knowledge-based management to propose and elaborate studies and technical analyses of problems in complex control systems and parameterization of control systems in accordance with the needs of the operation and optimization of the technical state of the control systems and, further, proposing concepts of development and innovation of technical, system and program means in connection with the needs of industrial and company processes.
