Qualification goals of the module:
On completion of the module, students will be able to name various techniques for analysing and designing (e.g. efficient process flows) in a company and demonstrate the objectives with which they can be used. In addition, after Degree, students will be able to apply the techniques to case studies, depending on the chosen objective. In the exercise, the contents of the lecture are deepened using examples and the students are enabled to use a tool for enterprise modelling (e.g. ARIS Architect).
