Estimation of the passive and active waste in public procurement in the Slovak Republic
Bachan, Milan ; Pavel, Jan (advisor) ; Zídková, Hana (referee)
The main object of this thesis is to estimate the waste in public procurement in Slovakia and estimate its active and passive components. The first part offers a theoretical explanation of legislation related to public procurement, as well as a theoretical explanation of active and passive waste. In the next section there is a brief description of similar study, which estimated the waste of public procurement in Italy. In the second part, which is empirical, there is a analysis of the results of public contracts related to construction work. Data were obtained from the electronic database of Public Procurement Office in Slovakia. From these data I created a regression model obtained by the method of least squares. The aim was to determine the truth of the hypothesis that if the contracts awarded through the procurement of external agencies, the procurement process becomes more efficient. The analysis did not confirm the truth of this hypothesis and thus I could not estimate the amount of passive and active waste. The results obtained from regression analysis were then used to estimate the amount of waste in the case of public procurement related to construction of residential buildings, reconstruction of schools and the revitalization of public spaces, when the public purchaser was the city or village. This analysis also estimates the percentage of the waste of public procurement, when process of public procurement was supervised by external procurement agencies.

Lean production system
Kvasnicová, Pavla ; Klečka, Jiří (advisor) ; Boukal, Petr (referee)
I will be interested about lean manufacture and it's principes in this paper. The lean production itself and systematical product and process inovations are powerful weapon on today's market. Main part of my paper is a detailed description of principes used by Toyota. This company was the first business in the world who came on the market with these deeper and more intense implementations. The goal is to intruduce the topic of their system and show that implementing these principes isn't so expensive how it may look on the first side. I engage also history, a big part is given to our Czech manufacturer Tomáš Baťa in the introduction. Another part of my paper is given also to other systems that exist and Toyota didn't come up with them. Just like 5S and Six Sigma which phylosophies are the same.
