Metrics and Criteria for Socio-Technical System Diagnostic
Raudenská, Lenka ; Dohnal, Mirko (referee) ; Nenadál, Jaroslav (referee) ; Fiala, Alois (advisor)
This doctoral thesis is focused on metrics and the criteria for socio-technical system diagnostics, which is a high profile topic for companies wanting to ensure the best in product quality. More and more customers are requiring suppliers to prove reliability in the production and supply quality of products according to given specifications. Consequently the ability to produce quality goods corresponding to customer requirements has become a fundamental condition in order to remain competitive. The thesis firstly lays out the basic strategies and rules which are prerequisite for a successful working company in order to ensure provision of quality goods at competitive costs. Next, methods and tools for planning are discussed. Planning is important in its impact on budget, time schedules, and necessary sourcing quantification. Risk analysis is also included to help define preventative actions, and reduce the probability of error and potential breakdown of the entire company. The next part of the thesis deals with optimisation problems, which are solved by Swarm based optimisation. Algorithms and their utilisation in industry are described, in particular the Vehicle routing problem and Travelling salesman problem, used as tools for solving specialist problems within manufacturing corporations. The final part of the thesis deals with Qualitative modelling, where solutions can be achieved with less exact quantitative information of the surveyed model. The text includes qualitative algebra descriptions, which discern only three possible values – positive, constant and negative, which are sufficient in the demonstration of trends. The results can also be conveniently represented using graph theory tools.

Application of modern elements in classical project management
Országh, Martin ; Chocholatý, Drahomír (advisor) ; Nedzelský, Roman (referee)
This thesis deals with project management and with different ways in which can be cur-rently approached. Beside the conventional, classical approach based on processes, modern approaches based on the theory of constraints and agile principles are discussed. Based on analysis, the main objective of the thesis is firstly to find weaknesses in the classical project management and strong key elements of modern approaches and after that to make suggestions to enhance the classical approach with the selected strong elements of modern approaches.

Comparison of the Critical Path Method and the Critical Chain Method
Sůra, Jan ; Fiala, Petr (advisor) ; Kuncová, Martina (referee)
There are many methods used in project management. One of the most commonly used methods is the Critical path method (CPM). The results of applying this method to projects are unfortunately not satisfactory; project time estimates, costs and the quality of output are often not met, in many cases by 10 % or more. Many methods have been developed in an attempt to improve project performance. One of these methods is the Critical chain method (CCM). Its author, Eliyahu Goldratt, focused on aspects of projects which have been largely neglected by most of the other methods - uncertainty management and human psychology, workers' motivation etc. Today, the Critical chain method has many enthusiastic supporters so it is clear that it has helped to significantly improve project performance. The purpose of this paper is to compare both mentioned methods.

Project management using Microsoft Office Excel
Šatalíková, Bohumila ; Kuncová, Martina (advisor) ; Škulavíková, Štěpánka (referee)
The thesis discusses the possibilities of project management and analysis and it is focused on solving project analysis using the network analysis. The text describes chosen used methods of analysis. This text together with other findings in the theoretical part is used in the solution of practice part. The aim of this thesis was to create a functional Microsoft Project-based add-in of Microsoft Excel to ensure planning and management of simple projects. This created add-in can manage the project, manage project resources, allocate these resources to individual project activities and carry out simple analysis of the project, including a Gantt chart.

Process optimization in horse racing
Bezděkovská, Radka ; Fiala, Petr (advisor) ; Flusserová, Lenka (referee)
This thesis is concerned with the use of some optimization methods in harness racing. In the first part of the thesis, both critical path method and critical chain method of the project management are applied to horse racing projects. Then a comparison is made in order to choose a suitable method under various conditions. As a result, we can suggest improvements in horse racing organization. In order to determine optimal number of racing days, races and other aspects within a season, an optimization model is created in the second part of the thesis. Minimization of cost or maximization of number of starts can be chosen as an objective function. Various constraints are considered.

Alternativní přístupy k plánování a řízení projektu zavedení IS/ICT systému
Beranová, Michaela ; Fiala, Petr (advisor) ; Kuncová, Martina (referee)
Hlavním tématem práce je problematika plánování a řízení projektů v oblasti IS/ICT projektů. Tato oblast se poměrně dynamicky vyvíjí a vznikají nové přístupy k řízení a plánování projektů. Hlavním cílem práce je porovnat několik standardně používaných metod s jednou z novějších metod ? Kritický řetěz. Zároveň je snaha přiblížit softwarový produkt, který je na základě této metody založen a podporuje řízení projektů pomocí této metody. Práce je situována do reálného prostředí a srovnává dané metody na reálném projektu implementace IS/ICT projektu. Práce je rozdělena do několika částí. První popisuje daný projekt. Ukazuje výchozí stav a problémy, které by měl projekt vyřešit. Také popisuje cílový stav a činnosti, které je nutné vykonat, aby ho bylo dosáhnuto.Druhá část je teoretické zázemí, které popisuje jednotlivé metody. V další části je samotná aplikace metod při plánování projektu. Předposlední část se věnuje průběhu projektu a ukazuje, jak se projekt vyvíjel. Tato část je doplněna reporty z jednotlivých softwarových nástrojů. V poslední části jsou zhodnoceny jednotlivé metody a na základě toho přijaty závěry, jaké postupy je při plánování a řízení IS/ICT projektů dobré přijmout.
