Application of Lean Six Sigma methodology in Doosan Bobcat logistics
Týřlová, Zuzana ; Martínez, Felipe (advisor) ; Jirsák, Petr (referee)
The focal point of this master thesis is Lean Six Sigma methodology and its application on project from practice. Company Doosan Bobcat that has its principles implemented provides this real background. Bobcat still improve and educate itself in this area. Company offered a project from its logistics department that should optimize parts preparation for their transport from one warehouse to another, for this thesis. The project is solved within DMAIC cycle that is firstly described theoretically and then applied on. Then, the tools that are used in individual cycle phases are described as well. The results of the thesis are improvement suggestions, their implementation plan and control plan.

Lean Six Sigma application to solve problems occurring during brand changes in production in Philip Morris CR, a.s.
Jurka, Petr ; Hykš, Ondřej (advisor) ; Martínez, Felipe (referee)
The goal of this Master's Thesis is Lean Six Sigma application to solve problems occurring during brand changes in production in Philip Morris CR, a.s. In the first part of this thesis there is described the Lean Six Sigma methodology, which draws from current world literature. Moreover the thesis describes the company Philip Morris, production of tobacco products in Kutná Hora and there is high level process description of cigarette production. In the thesis there is thorough description of process brand change, 7 measurements of this process on different types of machines, analysis of these measurements. In case there are problems identified there is the counter action to solve them designed. At the end of the thesis there is evaluation if the goals described in the introduction were achieved.

Procesní management operačních sálů
Váhalová, Barbora
This diploma thesis deals with optimization of processes in operating theaters in the regional hospital. The largest consumption is in the operating theatre. It is a place where you meet all kinds of costs and where you find the biggest wasting of sources. The aim of the thesis is optimization of key processes taking place in operating theaters in healthcare institute. Optimization of these processes will enable more efficient, thus providing a management of healthcare institute tool for management. Process analysis will be performed using suitable models and methods of Lean Six Sigma.

Modelling and Optimization of Processes at an Operational Level
Cerman, Tomáš ; Voráček, Jan (advisor) ; Černohorský, Petr (referee)
Theses is devided into two parts, the first one is dealing with theory the other one with practical exercise. There is basic terminology set in the first part, focusing mainly on process management and methodologies leading the current evolution in that respect, Lean and Six Sigma. I also refer about tools for mapping the processes and devote a section to theory of queues which is a main subject for modelling in the practical part. I have not omitted to mention axioms for modeling itself. Practical part comes from job experience I had. Main goal is to set up a model simulation based on the main features of the process structure, involve main principles of mentioned methodologies and to discuss the results simulation brings.

Application of lean manufacturing in the office
Pavel, Jan ; Klečka, Jiří (advisor) ; Vrajová, Miroslava (referee)
This thesis is about application methods of lean company in the office. The aim of this work is to point out the interdependencies of application of lean manufacturing in the office. Particular tools of leaning can be simply transferred from manufacturing to the processing in the office in a way that wre developed or with simple adjustments. The theoretical part of this project is about the history of such a manufacturing, defines principles and aims of the leaning process, points out interdependencies of tools in manufacturing and in the office. The practical part contains basic information about Accenture and concentrates on two projects. The first project is Simplifying and raising quality of administration and presents implementation of lean method to the document processing. Project Transformation BSS EDM shows complex solution of lean methods in a workplace (office).

Utilization of Six Sigma and Lean approaches within the project management of SAP
Dohnalová, Petra ; Hykš, Ondřej (advisor) ; Čermáková, Kateřina (referee)
This thesis deals with the Six Sigma and LEAN project management methodology and its mutual linkage to Lean Six Sigma. In the first part it describes its basic theoretical principles explaining the background and the roots of both approaches. Furthermore, the adaptation to SAP Sigma is brought to light. In the practical part a case study of the application of Six Sigma on a project called FastClose is introduced and investigated. In addition, Lean Six Sigma methods are applied as well in order to explore further improvement potential within the project.

Lean Six Sigma for process improvement
Raška, Adam ; Doucek, Petr (advisor) ; Klas, Jan (referee)
Lean Six Sigma is one of the tools organizations use to help their processes run faster and thus maximize their profits. It is a thorough approach that can reveal defects in companies' processes through examining customers' needs and its statistical data Its popularity spreads fast from the early adopters such as General Electric, Toyota or Motorola and many companies are keen to get their hands on it and achieve similar success as above mentioned. Czech companies are not different. There is, however, a tendency to lay it aside based on first time impressions. The most frequent reasons are: complexity, need to make dramatic changes in the company's culture and high initial costs. Main goal of this thesis is to show that Lean Six Sigma does not necessarily have to be a thorough approach. It can also be used as a one-time tool to improve company's processes, just by picking the right parts and combining them in the right order. This thesis describes the most useful tools and also shows how they can be used in the real situation. By aligning them in a row it also creates a framework for Lean Six Sigma implementation projects which can be used repeatedly. One chapter also describes various problems that might occur during the implementation and provides readers with possible solutions to overcome them.

Lean Six Sigma in Decreasing the Error Rate of Proposal Form Filling
Albert, Michal ; Plášková, Alena (advisor) ; Žák, Daniel (referee)
This thesis is focused on the proposal form filling error rate in life insurance. The theoretical part of the thesis describes main aspects of the methodology Lean Six Sigma, which will be used to decrease high error rate. Lean Six Sigma is widely used in today's companies to improve business processes by increasing their sigma. The methodology is an integration of two separate approaches, both invented in the beginning of the 20th century. The aim of the integration is to bring together the best of both of them. The practical part of the thesis shows how the seemingly separed approaches Lean and Six Sigma can work together. Lean was used to improve the process for insurance company's sales force, and Six Sigma was then applied to decrease the error rate of the forms. Both of the improvements were successfully implemented in the company and led to a desired outcome.

Analyses and rationalization of reverse logistics within DHL Exel Supply Chain, Automotive UK
Beneš, Martin ; Pernica, Petr (advisor) ; Jirsák, Petr (referee)
This diploma thesis has been created based on the demand of the management of DHL Exel Supply Chain and Swindon Pressings Limited to increase the efficiency and utilization of resources employed within they operations. The theoretical introduction part is first of dealing with the terms "logistics" and "supply chain management" in the perspective of their use in the contemporary logistics theory, comparison of their meaning (are there differences) and explanation of their use in this thesis. Subsequently I am explaining "reverse logistic" and its position in the structures of corporations and logistics itself. Supply chain management and the concept of lean manufacturing combined with the six sigma approach are, from my point of view, essential for today's supplier-customer relationships. That is why those topics are examined in the last part of the theoretical chapter. Returnable packaging and the transport process are key elements of the second part -- practical part, the reengineering of logistics processes which occurred at Swindon Pressings Limited. The aim of this thesis is to analyze the give problem, develop problem solving options and critically comment them. Finally choose one of the options, implement it and document the process of "going live".
