Lean Start Up for product SweetBox
Zhavoronkova, Anna ; Martínez, Felipe (advisor) ; Andera, Michal (referee)
This Bachelors Thesis (BT) aims to purpose a guide for the continuous development of the product SweetBox, applying Lean StartUp approach and Operations Management tools. The motivation of this BT development of a start up company, with little investments and resources in possession. To fulfil the aim, a guide for Lean StartUp development is constructed. This BT is built upon usage of Lean StartUp cycle methodology, through preparation of hypothesis and cycles. Each cycle has hypothesis and knowledge to help create and alter the product. By iteration, after three cycles, a primary guide is proposed. This BT evidences the viability of Lean StartUp model. The obtained knowledge facilitates the presentation of the final product version. Interviewers were successfully transformed from non-buyers to buyers and eventual sales figures stabilized. The methodology is recent, introduced in 2011 year. This kind of method for company and product development was originated and mainly applied in Information Technology firms. The BT contributes to the body of knowledge, evidencing that the methodology works and feasible to apply. This BT demonstrates the application of this method in the product producing companies.

Designing the operation of a Vape Bar
Sultanzade, Teymur ; Martínez, Felipe (advisor) ; Jirsák, Petr (referee)
This bachelor thesis aims to propose the design of the operation for a Vape Bar using operation management tools. Moreover, this BT provides first standards for operations of a Vape bar business in Prague. In the first chapter, Vape economy and its importance around the world is presented. This shows that its potentials are growing constantly and that the absence of such a business in Prague is an opportunity. The thesis then adheres the methodology of the process design framework, where it describes the importance and concepts of operation management tools. Finally, these methodologies are applied to design the operations in a Vape bar. First, the SIPOC tool is used to get a simple scope and the objectives of the operations before the work starts. Then, each point of the process design framework is designed and elaborated in detail in each following chapter. At the end, again the SIPOC tool is used to summarize the relevant information from previous chapters and to show the operation design proposal. As the results, the methodology is applied and the following findings yield to the conclusion that the first standardized projections of operation in a Vape bar constructed. This thesis is expected to be used as the general standards for operations in a Vape bar, thus making a small contribution to better controlling and management processes while running this business.
