| Annotation |
Business process management and engineering require an understanding of basic principles of business process modelling, management, improvement, and reengineering. During the study course students will learn to develop business process models, assign performance identifiers to process elements, assess the correspondence of the business process to its goal, and to develop business process change proposals and implement changes at the level of a business process model.. |

Goals and objectives of the course in terms of competences and skills |
The goal of the study course is to prepare the student for the accomplishment of the following tasks: business process modelling, business process design, business process management, and definition of information systems and services requirements based on detailed business process models. The objectives of the study course: 1. To enable students to learn professional business process notation and powerful process modelling and analysis tools. 2. To develop an understanding of the range of business processes and their management and improvement opportunities. 3. To develop the ability to methodically identify ICT opportunities for business process support. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Learning outcomes and assessment |
Is able to recognize and use business process modelling notations and tools. - Business process developed at least in two business process modelling languages using at least two business process modelling tools (individual and group assignments, exam). Can develop and use in business process models for analysis, management, and improvement of complex business processes. - Develops and demonstrates a non-trivial business process model, its monitoring parameters, simulation, analysis and possibilities of improvement (individual and group assignments, exam). Can relate business process models to different enterprise architectures and analyse processes in compliance with the chosen architecture. - Demonstrates process analysis according, activity sequence, performers, resources, as well as information flow, service, and other dimensions (individual and group assignments, exam). Can identify requirements for business process support by information and communication technology - At the examination develops the business process model, its management model, and develops requirements for business process support software for a given system respecting existing ICT resources (individual and group assignments, exam). |
