This thesis deals with the productivity of enterprise, the possibilities of its measurement and increasing productivity through the total productive maintenance. The theoretical part firstly focuses on the measuring total productivity in homogeneous and heterogeneous production and calculation of partial productivities of each production factor. Secondly, it deals with the concept of a total productive maintenance as one of the possible approaches to increasing productivity. In the practical part the analysis of productivity for the years 2004 to 2010 is made and evaluated the use of approaches and tools of total productive maintenance in specific enterprise.

The doctoral thesis is dedicated to cost estimation analysis of mass and lean logistics system productivity including their comparison. The main focus is on methodology of cost estimation of currently used supply chains. The methodological part encompasses contemporary knowledge of productivity, philosophical background of Logistics and identification of today market conditions emphasizing the importance of knowledge as a competitive advantage. The logistics value and waste are identified as a critical aspect in analysing of productivity of current logistics system. Regarding the scope of today knowledge analysis, experimental questions and hypothesis related to utilisation and measuring efficiency lean logistics principals and tools are defined. Based on the hypothesis verification, new theory and methodology of productivity cost estimation in mass and lean logistics system applicable not only in automotive industry are established. The doctoral thesis reveals new spheres of logistics theory, scientifical research in the area of logistics systems productivity. The case of automotive supply chain supports the utilisation of proposed theory and methodology in practice.

This doctoral dissertation focuses on the area of IT projects portfolio management and IT projects. Dissertation summarizes development of IT projects portfolio management, its benefits, problems, and integration of IT PPM philosophy into selected widely use methodologies and IT frameworks. Further work summarizes developments and main findings of social networks analysis and relevant findings from psychological and sociological field, team work and process of organization. Also presents results of two surveys, on their basis have been formulated conclusions and recommendations. The main part of the work focuses on design of additional processes for MMDIS ŘIP mainly by use of social networks analysis to support the selection of the appropriate staff to selected positions in an IT project. Furthermore, the proposal presents categorization of IT roles according to selected metrics of social network nodes.

The main goal of this thesis is to find out whether National football league players are, even 15 years after the birth of unrestricted free agency, still paid monopsonistic salaries or whether competition among NFL teams eliminated them. After a theoretical discussion, which will help to form expectations about the player market, models in line with the standard theory of labor compensation and with Becker's human capital theory are estimated. The part of the research following the standard theory focuses mainly on estimations of players' marginal revenue product and subsequently on comparison of their wages with their MRP. To do so, OLS regressions, as well as quantile regressions, are run. The part of the research following the human capital theory has a supporting role and is used to further confirm the previous findings. It is represented by OLS player salary estimation. The hypothesis that players under a full control of their teams are still paid salaries below their MRP cannot be rejected, thus confirming a presence of monopsonistic salaries. A significant effect of free agency status on player salaries is also found. Exclusive rights players are paid significantly lower salaries than all free agents, while restricted free agents are paid significantly lower salaries than unrestricted free agents. Superstar players are found to have salaries in excess of their MRP regardless of their free agency status.

The thesis deals with the issue of productivity and its measurement. It is divided into two parts. The first, methodological part describes the theoretical apparatus of total productivity, which the second, practical part is based on. It deals with analyzing of productivity in the enterprise EUROVIA-Kameňolomy s.r.o. The introductory chapters focuse on the introduction of a company and description of the industry in which the company operates. Other chapters are devoted to the calculations of total productivity, partial productivities of different factors of production and their year-to-year comparisons calculated by indexes.

The diploma thesis deals with a proposal for the development of a remuneration system in a selected company using the concept of total remuneration. In the first part, a factual research is used to describe the theory for a better understanding of the issue. The second part includes an analysis of the selected company in terms of internal and external influences. The third part presents suggestions for change, including an economic evaluation of costs and benefits.

The diploma thesis deals with the optimization of the layout of the production line of the pre-assembly head in order to optimize the existing production process and its productivity. The theoretical part presents the theoretical knowledge gained by studying the literature focused on optimization of the workplace, lean manufacturing and project management. These findings are the basis for the analytical part, which describes the current state of the production line, including the analysis of the production process. In the following project part, a project for the optimization of the production line is developed.

This master's thesis is processed into a business plan that will provide information to management of the company for its decision in the field of innovation in the logistics area. The theoretical part explains all the theoretical knowledge, which performed analysis for the company. The proposed solution will lead to increased productivity and cost savings in the chosen field.

This thesis is focused to performance improvement in the small company. Next pages contain analysis of current state and manufacturing wasting elimination as well. This thesis joins three theories which are combinated each to others. It means Lean Management, Six Sigma and Theory of constrains. Part of this document includes the estimate of financial costs to improve performance through the whole manufacturing company.

This thesis is focused on optimization of pressure sensor production efficiency in company BD SENSORS s.r.o. Theoretical part covers the basic terms, methods from the field of industrial engineering. Next part explores the analysis of the current state of a part of the company. Finally based on the discovered findings there are proposed corrective and preventive actions.
