You can choose from an extensive catalogue of subjects for your further training as a manager. All relevant subject areas are covered, from business management, accounting and taxes to law and marketing. The courses are of course designed in such a way that the contents do not overlap, but the interfaces between the specialist areas become clear. The individual events are presented in more detail below.

Teaching staff
Univ.-Prof. Dr. rer.pol. Dirk Stelzer
Head of Information and Knowledge Management at the Technische Universität Ilmenau
Learning objectives
Participants will get an overview of important IT decisions that (also) have to be made by non-IT managers. They will master important basics to be able to take over management tasks for IT.
Brief description
It teaches key elements of IT management that non-IT managers need to master in order to better exploit IT-related challenges and opportunities and make appropriate IT-related management decisions.
Long description
The participants will get to know tools to develop answers to the following questions:
- How much money do we want to spend on IT?
- Which business processes should benefit from the IT budget?
- Which IT resources should be centralized / become standard?
- Which parts of IT can we outsource?
- Which performance standards / service levels are necessary?
- Which IT security level does the company need?
- Who is responsible if an IT project fails?
- How can we avoid IT disasters?

Teaching staff
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Steffen Straßburger
Head of the Department of Business Information Systems Engineering for Industrial Companies at the Technische Universität Ilmenau
Learning objectives
Understanding of application scenarios and possibilities of the "Simulation" method
Basic knowledge in the practical use of tools for the simulation of production systems
Brief description
The event provides an insight into the theoretical and practical aspects of the use of simulation methods for the analysis and improvement of production and logistics processes.
Long description
The event provides an insight into the theoretical and practical aspects of the use of simulation methods for the analysis and improvement of production and logistics processes. In the theoretical part the basic principles of discrete simulation are explained and general process models and steps of a simulation study are discussed. The benefit potential of simulation is discussed. In the practical part, common modeling approaches are explained using practical examples. Depending on the available resources and time frame, practical exercises on the computer can also be offered.

Learning objectives
Providing an insight into modern models, methods and tools of the Digital Factory.
Brief description
The event provides an overview of modern models, methods and tools of the Digital Factory. In particular, the different planning and simulation tools will be discussed.
Long description
The VDI guideline 4499 defines the Digital Factory as "a generic term for a comprehensive network of digital models, methods and tools - including simulation and 3D visualization - which are integrated by means of a continuous data management". The goal of this network is "the holistic planning, evaluation and continuous improvement of all essential structures, processes and resources of the real factory in connection with the product". The course provides an overview of current processes and tools and their possible applications in practice. In particular, the various planning and simulation tools will be discussed.

Learning objectives
Transfer of knowledge in the field of production planning and control through practical experience
Brief description
In the business game, the participants can gain practical experience in production planning and control. For this purpose, they compete in teams in a multi-user computer simulation.
Long description
In this computer-supported business game, participants can gain practical experience in production planning and control. They work in teams of 2 and are responsible for managing a manufacturing company. The teams carry out planning tasks that are particularly close to production and logistics. This includes, among other things, the preparation of quotations, machine allocation planning, material procurement and investment planning. Teams compete with each other on the market. Other influences, some of which are random (e.g. machine failures, delivery bottlenecks), increase the complexity and the fun of the game.
