Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The objective of the course "FK KFK eB: Selected topics of Human Resource Management" is to provide an insight into concepts of labour planning strategies as well as their implementation and evaluation through appropriate techniques and tools (numerical examples). Furthermore, the course is meant to give an overview of principles and elements of job design, and labour standards along with various approaches like stopwatch studies and work sampling. The concept of learning rates is presented and applied to numerical examples. Quantitative and qualitative tools of analysis used to support decision making in the various activities of labour scheduling are reviewed.
At conclusion of this course, students will be able to categorise areas of labour scheduling, shift design, labour standards and job design. Furthermore, they will be able to apply quantitative methods and software tools to support decision-making processes in human resource scheduling, capacity decisions, work force management. Methods of instruction are designed to develop a knowledge base, enhance critical thinking, create an awareness of strategic value, and provide practical operations-related skills. Participation includes case studies, exercises, problems, and exams.
The course covers 2 hours per week in winter-term, worth 2 ECTS point per hour, and totals with 4 ETCS points.
