Thesis description
Objectives: Find out the effects of selected SW packages on the company's management. The main goal of the work will be divided into three sub-goals used to systematically evaluate the impact of using the selected SW product. The first goal will be to formulate the company's information strategy and relationship to its objectives. The second goal inheres in describing the status and influences on process management using existing SW products, including the organizational and process structure. The third sub-objective inheres to estimating the future state of process management after transitioning to a new set of SW tools. Due to the anticipated lack of data available after implementation, the proposed solution will only be a qualified estimation based on the possibilities of the new SW system in combination with a requirement that functionalities SW product cannot cover.
Work structure: in the theoretical part, the author defines vital terms with the help of professional literature and consultation with company employees. The author describes the issue concerning selected processes and the factors that affect these processes. The definition of metrics will be an integral part of the thesis.
Methods: operational research methods such as constraint theory will be used. In the practical part, the author proposes a suitable procedure and its variants based on theoretical knowledge for a particular company, reducing the impact of bottlenecks. The benefits and possible shortcomings will be evaluated. Other methods will be BPMN and UML notations, measurement and comparison methods, analysis and synthesis, induction, and deduction.
