„We connect technolo-gy with economy and management – – a precise under-standing of the techni-cal aspects of industri-al processes, projects and innovation is a key to their effective management.“

Prof. Ing. František Freiberg, CSc.Head of the Department

DEPARTMENT OF MANAGEMENT AND ECONOMICS

WE EDUCATE EXPERTS IN INDUSTRY MANAGEMENTStudying the combination of economy and engineering opens a wide range of career opportunities in mechanical engineering, as well as other industries, IT, banking and consulting.Education at the Department of Management and Econom-ics trains students to take expert positions in middle and top management in industry and engineering. The content of the studies systematically integrates engineering with managerial and economic expertise and skill. Proficiency in both engineering and economics makes our graduates highly hireable for various industrial management posi-tions, covering economy, engineering, production, market-ing or logistics.

COMBINE ENGINEERING AND ECONOMICS AT THE FACULTY OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERINGAre you interested in engineering, but also in management and economics?

SCIENCE AND RESEARCH ACTIVITIES, COLLABORATION WITH BUSINESS

Science and research activities of the department, as well as its collabora-tion with businesses, focuses primarily on the questions of increasing the economic efficiency of industrial processes and operations.

n Optimisation of management systems, system design, develop-ment of managerial support tools

n Comprehensive cost analyses of business processes and products, product life cycle cost analyses (Life Cycle Costing/Total Costs of Ownership)

n Techno-economic feasibility studies of investment projects, anal-yses of economic efficiency of technological and product innova-tions, support for planning and implementation of projects sup-ported from public sources

n Development of managerial analysis tools in MS Excel

n Analyses, optimisation and design of production processes and systems using advanced SW tools

n Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and its application within ecodesign

COMPLETED PROJECTS

COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION OF NANOMATERIALSThe SHYMAN project was designed to develop a commer-cially viable technology for the production of nanomate-rials used in the automotive industry, civil engineering, electrical engineering and other industries. The crucial task for the department within the project was to assess the sustainability and cost competitiveness in relation to the target technology and the use of nanomaterials in the selected products. The solution consisted in the simulation, evaluation and analysis of the environmen-tal effects, value and cost effects relating to the relevant products and their production processes (LCA and LCC analysis). The project made a great contribution to the development of insight in the manufacturing of nanoma-terials and the possibilities of their industrial application. The project also advanced the implementation of the Si-maPro Analyst software tools and extensive electronic databases in life cycle analysis.
