| Type of studies | Title |
|---|---|
| Master Academic Studies | Industrial Engineering (Godina: 1, Winter) |
Educational goal:
The objectives of Theory of Constraints include: (1) further development of students knowledge in the field of organization and management of business systems; (2) acquiring systematic knowledge in the field of theory of constraints; (3) expanding the acquired knowledge of students for managing production systems using a project-oriented approach, with a focus on balanced and synchronized use of constrained resources; (4) studying of management techniques based on the principles of theory of constraints; (5) methodological and practical training of students to recognize constraints in the system and to apply principles of theory of constraints in solving problems.
Educational outcome:
After completing this course, student is able to: (1) define the basic concepts of the theory of constraints; (2) identify the constraints within industrial systems and engineering projects; (3) make distinction between different areas of application of the theory of constraints; (4) explain necessary steps in the process of implementing the theory of constraints; (5) recognize the potential sources of system constraints; (6) apply different methods to overcome the problems caused by the constraint of the system.
