The aim of this thesis is to analyze the current transportation practices in Geis CZ s.r.o. with regard to the use of transport resources and to ensuring adequate levels of service. The thesis covers theoretical knowledge related to its topic; its practical part deals with the tranportation practices in Geis CZ s.r.o. České Budějovice. The practical part contains basic information about the analyzed company, its history, partners, services provided and the company{\crq}s competition as well. At the end, the section provides suggestions for improvement and to deal with problems which the company is currently facing.

The subject of this thesis was to propose an appropriate solution for creating more effective logistics processes which have been connected with the transportation of packages in the company Pivovary Lobkowicz, Inc. Practical experienc and theoretical knowledge obtained from literature was used in conclusions and calculations in the analysis. The flow analysis of packages and information had been created by using selected logistics methods and led to the development of proposal to reduce the number of transportations of empty packages.

This thesis deals with the logistics of WISSA, spol. s r.o. The aim of this thesis is the characterization of the individual areas of the company's logistics. It also summarizes the legislative and contractual requirements, which the company must follow. I describe the company's system of transportation, warehousing, inventory management, as well as the flow of logistical information. I also note the tools that enable the function of each area. I am also looking for problems that arise in the company's logistics and I am trying to provide solutions for them. Using of various analysis and methods - such as the ABC method or the method of inventory management, I suggest improvements for corresponding areas of logistics. At the request of company management, which also represents the main user of the results of this thesis, I deal with several decision problems related to logistics. Specifically, I am providing them with information for the choice concerning the benefits of changing the location of the company's warehouse or decisions about the choice of transportation methods.

Obemannade markfarkoster är ännu ganska ovanliga i den svenska Försvarsmakten men borde kunna bli allt vanligare. UGV:er används traditionellt till att utföra smutsiga, tråkiga och farliga arbetsuppgifter. Kan de då vara användbara i Afghanistan mot den motståndare som FM möter där idag? I studien undersöker författaren möjligheterna för obemannade markfarkoster att bidra med militär nytta inom området logistiktransporter. De obemannade transportfordonen kan från grunden utgöras av standardlastbilar i FM som har utrustats med så kallade UGV-kit. Dessa UGV-kit har till uppgift att göra standardfordonen fjärrstyrda, autonoma eller både och. Samma princip gäller för eskortfordonen som följer med till stöd för logistiktransporten, en Galt ska exempelvis kunna agera UGV. Den irreguljära och lågteknologiska motståndaren använder ofta IED:er vid eldöverfall vilket har gjort landsvägstransporter till riskfylld verksamhet för personal ute på vägarna. Personalsäkerhet är prioriterad verksamhet i Försvarsmakten och författarens antagande är att UGV:er kan bidra till att göra logistiktransporter och eskortförfaranden till mindre riskabel verksamhet. / Unmanned ground vehicles are still quite rare within in the Swedish Armed Forces but they should become more common. UGV´s are used traditionally for performing dirty, dull and dangerous tasks. Could they also be usefull against the enemy in Afghanistan that the Swedish Armed Forces are confronting there today? In this study the author investigates the possibilities for unmanned ground vehicles to contribute with military benefits to the area of logistics transportation. The unmanned transport vehicles can be ordinary standard trucks from the beginning which have been equipped with a so called UGV-kit. This UGV-kit´s task is to make the standard vehicles remotely controlled, autonomous or both. The same principle applies to the escorting vehicles, a Galt should for example also be able to act as a UGV. The irregular and low technology enemy often uses IED’s when attacking, which have made road transportation to hazardous activities for the personnel on the road. Personnel safety are prioritized activity within the Swedish Armed Forces, and the authors assumtion is that UGV’s can help making logistics transportation and escorting procedures in to less risky activities.
