Course content
Terms production and production management. Production System Design. Environmental aspects of chemical productions. Raw and Materials in Production Systems. Material Productivity. Energy, Machinery and Equipment in Production Systems. Energy and Machine Productivity. Human Resources in Production Systems. Labour productivity. Economic optimization of production processes. Job design (Division of labor, cooperation, work place, work schedules, work environment). Equipment Maintenance. Production planning and scheduling. Coordination of productions. Production managers and engineers. Quality Control. Process control. Improving.

Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing), Dialogic (discussion, interview, brainstorming), Work with text (with textbook, with book), Skills training
Learning outcomes
Goal of lessons is to create a notion of both particular tools of chemical production management and the content of the management.
After finishing this subject the learner is able to orientate in usage of selected tools of production management and in content of particular phases of the management (production planning, implementation and control). He/she is qualified to manage realization of chemical productions.
Prerequisites
Knowledge in mathematics and business economics and management taught within the bachelor study is needed for study of the subject.

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination

Oral exam is required. Level of acquired knowledge, approaches, as well as skill in practice application are examined. During term the knowledge is verified by two examination papers, their results are considered as a part of final classification.
