This diploma thesis aims to review and assess a current state of Czech retail market with fast-moving consumer goods and to analyze a logistic base of leading retail chains doing business in the Czech Republic. A reader can learn about development of retail in the last few years, but also about prediction of the future trends. Based on the theoretical background regarding retail and logistics, the analysis of particular leading companies is made. Moreover, possible future efficiency improvements of companies' process which could lead to better market position are considered. The result of the thesis is the clear picture of well operating retail chain, its logistics and a flow of the goods into the retail market as a whole.

The target and aim of this diploma thesis was the optimization of the waste management reverse logistics system in the framework of FAST Kovošrot, Ltd. as a provider of waste management services. It is a company engaged in the purchase, processing and subsequent sale of metal waste mainly on the territory of the South Bohemian Region and Vysočina. It is therefore obvious that reverse logistics is the mainstay of almost all the company's activities. As part of the study of the backlog logistics flows of the selected company, the necessary amount of information and data was obtained for the subsequent optimization of the system. All data was obtained through managed interviews, direct attendance observation, and the study of available in-house statements. On the basis of such documents, the area of data exchange was designated as an area with potential for streamlining the overall process and introducing an electronic communication system. A thorough study of the current communication system between the business and its business partners was followed by which the individual data and values were sorted out. It has been found that the company uses classical data exchange, type of invoices and orders, that is, their receipt and distribution in paper form, which results in individual costs of postage, printing and others, as explained in the practical part of the thesis. At present, it is a rather outdated and ineffective system that can be innovated in spending. As another area with potential for improvement in terms of logistics technology operation, RFID tagging has been selected. The implementation of this method would require an initial investment, but would mean a significant increase in the efficiency of the registration and order picking for the company. The third proposed option for improving the functioning of the company's reverse logistics is to modify existing containers that would be equipped with ultrasonic sensors to capture their capacity.

Os portos são elementos-chave para a competitividade dos setores exportadores e importadores que deles se utilizam e para o desenvolvimento das regiões em que estão inseridos. Para a adequada gestão portuária, é necessária a compreensão do porto em um sentido mais amplo, considerando o conjunto de atores que participam da cadeia logísticoportuária e as atividades por eles desenvolvidas. Nos últimos anos, vêm se aprofundando os estudos dos portos como aglomerados empresariais e dos mecanismos de coordenação ou governança dos diferentes atores da cadeia logístico-portuária. Nesse contexto, uma questão emergente diz respeito à análise dos modelos de governança e sua relação com a performance portuária. A governança de cadeias logístico-portuárias é um fator-chave para a competitividade dos portos, podendo ser definida como os mecanismos utilizados para coordenar as relações existentes entre os atores da cadeia logístico-portuária, buscando aumentar a eficiência e a eficácia dos fluxos logísticos relacionados e, consequentemente, melhorando a inserção competitiva do porto. Dado esse contexto, esta tese tem como objetivo propor um modelo de governança aplicado a cadeias logístico-portuárias. Para tanto, inicialmente são estudadas as diferentes classificações de portos, sendo considerados os elementos que as compõem e sua relação com a governança; são analisados os processos logístico-portuários, identificando-se possíveis oportunidades de melhoria e sua relação com a governança portuária; e é analisada a evolução dos estudos sobre governança portuária nos últimos anos, identificando-se os modelos de governança existentes e sua relação com a performance portuária. A partir desses elementos, é desenvolvido um modelo conceitual para apoiar a análise da governança em cadeias logístico-portuárias e, tendo como base o modelo proposto, é feita uma análise comparativa da governança das cadeias logístico-portuárias dos portos de Valência e de Santos. Os resultados evidenciam a existência de um modelo de governança mais eficiente e maduro no porto de Valência e revelam oportunidades de melhoria na governança dos dois portos. / Ports are key to the competitiveness of exporting and importing sectors that make use of them and for the development of the regions in which they are inserted. And, for the proper port management, is necessary to understand the port in a broader sense, considering the set of actors included in the port logistics chain and the activities developed by these actors. In recent years, studies have been developed focusing ports as business clusters and addressing the coordination mechanisms or governance of the different actors in the port logistics chain. In this context, an emerging issue concerns the analysis port governance models and its relation to port performance. Governance in port logistics chains is a key factor for the competitiveness of ports and represents the mechanisms used to coordinate relations between the actors of the port community and increase the efficiency and effectiveness of logistics flows related, thus improving the port competitive insertion. Given this context, this thesis aims to propose a governance model applied to port logistics chain. For this, initially are studied the different classifications of seaports, being considered the elements that compose them and their relation to governance; port logistics processes are analyzed, identifying possible opportunities for improvement and its relationship to port governance; and is analyzed the evolution of port governance studies in recent years, identifying the existing governance models and their relation to port performance. From these elements, a conceptual model is developed to support the analysis of governance in port logistics chains and based on the proposed model, is made a comparative analysis of governance in the ports of Santos and Valencia. The results show the existence of a more efficient and mature governance model in the port of Valencia and reveal opportunities for improvement in the governance of the two ports.
