The main content of the thesis is to analyse the handling of waste and the subsequent design process optimization with scrap, which produced in various parts of the production lines. Analysed problem is based on specific company data, manufactures packaging for eggs from waste paper. The measurement, that describes the current status of the handling with waste conducted at the company premises. The measured values are processed according to a predetermined methodology. Gained knowledge along with practical experience led to the development and design alternatives to improve process optimization. The result of this work is potential saving of one handler with a fork agent in the production hall.

We use modern approach of stochastic dominance in portfolio optimization, where we want the portfolio to dominate a benchmark. Since the distribution of returns is often just estimated from data, we look for the worst distribution that differs from empirical distribution at maximum by a predefined value. First, we define in what sense the distribution is the worst for the first and second order stochastic dominance. For the second order stochastic dominance, we use two different formulations for the worst case. We derive the robust stochastic dominance test for all the mentioned approaches and find the worst case distribution as the optimal solution of a non-linear maximization problem. Then we derive programs to maximize an objective function over the weights of the portfolio with robust stochastic dominance in constraints. We consider robustness either in returns or in probabilities for both the first and the second order stochastic dominance. To the best of our knowledge nobody was able to derive such program before. We apply all the derived optimization programs to real life data, specifically to returns of assets captured by Dow Jones Industrial Average, and we analyze the problems in detail using optimal solutions of the optimization programs with multiple setups. The portfolios calculated using...

Final thesis pursues problematics of optimization methods used in PUD optimization project, in TNT Express Worldwide spol. s r.o. In theoretical part, considerable part concentrates on various optimisation methods, which leads to another science branches, mainly quantitative management. Operative part focuses on critical evaluation of PUD optimization project.

Analyse of the product lines of the trading company based on the next methods: analyse of revenues, analyse of profitability, analyse od effectivity, analyse of the status of a product in the line. Optimisation of the product lines based on the results of analyse

Dissertation thesis elaborates and put into broader perspective of lean manufacturing two particular decision situations: optimization of the inventory levels between two adjacent production units and the competitive strategy for supplier in the supplier selection process. Discrete simulation is presented to be a suitable tool for determination of appropriate kanban card levels with respect to variability and overall system performance. Simulation optimization is introduced for kanban cards allocation in complex systems, such as multi-stage, multi-product production systems. Further, the lean procurement is presented as an integral part of lean manufacturing with significant influence on the just-in-time system. Stochastic model, which assess supplier competitiveness with the cost of further improvement, is developed.

Práce pojednává o optimalizaci procesů ve firmě. Nejprve z teoretického pohledu o procesním přístupu a vazbách na normy ISO řady 9000, orientaci na procesy, jejich koncepci, o procesním managementu, jeho přínosech a stupních vývoje procesů. V praktické části se zabývá popisem a zmapováním všech procesů ve firmě a podrobnou analýzou a optimalizací procesu tvorby a realizace zakázky.

Práce popisuje proces ve kterém americký výrobce kolejních vozidelk vstupuje na evropský trh. Zabývá se první fází, tj. realizací investic a výběrem konkrétní formy vstupu. Ve druhé části popisuje procesy, které nasledovaly po samotném vstupu a měly za cíl optimalizovat provozy na evropském kontinentu.

Work describes basic quantitative methods and their possible usage in IBM project management, it also substantiates the use of linear optimization software in real project

This thesis focuses on description of methods of technical analysis, characteristics of foreign exchange markets and it also mentions the efficient market theory. The aim is to use the knowledge of technical analysis to select one simple trading strategy and through its optimalization to discover a functional and efficient trading system. In order to enable followers to continue in optimalization, it is also described the optimalization process in detail with probable obstacles. There are also mentioned other different and possible ways for further testing of this strategy.

There are available various professional applications for the solving of optimization problems. This thesis deals with comparison of these optimization systems and simplicity of their connection with MS Excel through VBA. Problem of designing model together with his calculation in MS Excel or other systems connected via VBA, like MPL for Windows or LINGO, is demonstrated on concrete examples. Application in Visual Basic for Applications was created for this purpose. This application is easy to use and it is solving Knapsack Problem, Distribution Problem and also Quadratic Assignment Problem. Finally, comparison of these systems is made using Multi-criteria evaluation.
