The thesis deals with banking data warehouse and the factors which influence their architecture. The goal of the thesis is to analyze the influence by fulfilling the three partial goals -- defining banks' requirements on data warehouses, analyzing a data warehouse in the real banking environment and making a comparison of the Czech banks' data warehouses. First, the thesis briefly introduces elements of business intelligence (BI) and data warehousing. Second, after deducing reasons for BI implementation in commercial banks, the requirements on data warehouse are synthesized and their impacts on the data warehouse architecture are analyzed. Finally, conclusions of the thesis are applied on creation of the survey which enables comparison of the Czech banks' data warehouses. The thesis applies the theory of relationship between BI maturity, requirements on BI and data warehouse architecture and creates a tool for evaluating and comparing the data warehouses of banks with respect to bank's BI maturity and predisposition for a particular architecture. The tool can serve as a basis for a general tool able to compare data warehouses in other branches of economy and can help to better understand relations between organizations' need for information, BI solutions used and underlying data warehouses.

The present master´s thesis examines logistics processes in the company MILK- AGRO, spol. s. r. o., which focuses on food industry. The aim of the thesis is to analyse current processes in the company and propose improvements in cutting costs. Attention is paid to current stocking process and distribution of goods. The thesis includes theoretical basis of Green Logistics, its legislative requirements and smooth implementation which means the creation of a new green product for the company. Furthemore, there is an implementation of Reverse Logistics in the thesis based on detailed distribution information. The theoretical part of new product analyses legislative, motivational and distribution point of view. Additionally, the master´s thesis clarifies benefits and drawbacks of Reverse Logistics within the company. Lastly, the author recommends improvements in warehousing and a new distribution route.

This thesis discusses the optimal way of material-handling equipment replacement at Nestlé Česko s.r.o., plant ZORA Olomouc. The theoretical part describes the issue of warehousing in general and focuses on the material-handling equipment and vehicles. The following analytical part focuses specifically on the company Nestlé Česko s.r.o., particularly the plant ZORA Olomouc with the foremost aim of analysing and optimising the current material-handling equipment.

This diploma thesis deals with the implementation of Business Intelligence in small and medium-sized companies and furthermore focuses on an agile project management and introduces possibilities for this approach. The aim of the project is to present an agile methodology of Business Intelligence implementation and comparison of processes of a real project with the procedures proposed in this methodology and eventually propose improvements. The thesis is divided into three main parts. The first part is an introduction to the theory, in which the concept of Business Intelligence is introduced and important terms as transactional and analytical systems, data warehouse, data mart, etc. are described, being followed by research of previous works focused on Business Intelligence implementation. The introduction to the theory is closed with introducing CRISP-DM methodology for SMEs and agile methodologies as Scrum and Extreme Programming. The objectives of the thesis and some sub-goals are achieved through the analysis of the agile methodology "Agile Data Warehousing for Business Intelligence implementation" in the second part of the thesis. The final main section is a comparison with a real project, in which certain improvements are also proposed for future use. The benefit of this thesis is especially the unusual view at the implementation of Business Intelligence through agile approach and proposed methods for future use in small and medium-sized companies. The benefits are also described particularly for business companies in the area of financial advice.

The purpose of this dissertation is to examine the external factors that influence an organizations' business intelligence (BI) data collection strategy when mediated by BI attributes. In this dissertation, data warehousing strategies are used as the basis on which to frame the exploration of BI data collection strategies. The attributes include BI insightfulness, BI consistency, and the organizational transformation attribute of BI. The research population consisted of IT professionals and top level managers involved in developing and managing BI. Data was collected from a range of industries and organizations within the United States. An online survey was used to collect the data to empirically test the proposed relationships. Data was analyzed using partial least square path modeling (PLS). The results of this study suggest that there exists a positive relationship between institutional isomorphism and BI consistency. The results also indicate that there exists a positive relationship between BI consistency and BI comprehensive data collection strategy, and the organizational transformation attribute of BI and BI comprehensive data collection strategy. These findings provide a theoretical lens to better understand the motivators and the success factors related to collecting the huge amounts of data required for BI. This study also provides managers with a mental model on which to base decisions about the data required to accomplish their goals for BI.

[pt] A implantação de instalações de armazenagem é vista como uma fonte de aumento do nível de serviço e redução de custos ao longo da cadeia de suprimentos. A presente dissertação busca analisar o estado do arte a respeito de design de armazéns utilizando a metodologia de revisão sistemática de literatura. O período de publicações levantado foi do ano de 1999 até 2011 e a base de dados eletrônica explorada foi a Science Direct. Para guiar a revisão foi elaborado um modelo conceitual contemplando as decisões que fazem parte do escopo do design de armazéns, o qual foi chamado de framework. O framework está dividido em três grandes partes. A primeira parte, input, representa as decisões que precedem ao desenho e implantação das operações de armazenagem em uma instalação e que impactam diretamente nesta fase. A segunda parte é desenho e implantação, e traz as decisões mais relevantes para instalar um armazém e quais as métricas usadas para acompanhar a performance das operações do armazém. E por fim, tem-se a última parte, output que representa o objetivo final do design de armazém para a empresa. A forma como o framework está estruturado sugere que os níveis de decisões são interativos, não podendo ser analisados separadamente, fato comprovado pela análise dos trabalhos encontrados. Por fim, pretende-se que esta dissertação sirva com uma ferramenta para profissionais de design de armazéns, bem como suporte a pesquisas futuras sobre o tema. / [en] The deployment of warehousing facilities is seen as a source of increased level of service and reducing costs along the supply chain. This master thesis aims to analyze the state of the art regarding the design of warehouses using the methodology of systematic literature review. The period of publication raised ranges from 1999 until 2011 and Science Direct was the electronic database explored. To guide the review a conceptual model was developed considering the decisions that are beyond the scope of the design of warehouses, which was called a framework. The framework is divided into three major parts. The first part, input, represents the decisions that precede the design and deployment of warehousing operations in a facility and which directly impact at this stage. The second part is the design and deployment, and brings the most important decisions to install a warehouse and what metrics are used to evaluate the performance of warehouse operations. Finally, the last part, output, representes the the final goal of designing a warehouse for the company. The way the framework is structured suggests that levels of decisions are interactive and can not be analyzed separately, a fact corroborated by the analysis of the studies found. Finally, it is expected that the present master thesis becomes a tool to warehouse design professionals, as well as support for future research on the subject.
