Implementation of CAF Model on chosen municipalities
Borek, Jiří ; Kačín, Radovan (advisor) ; Hykš, Ondřej (referee)
The aim of the Master's Thesis is to describe the implementation of CAF Model on chosen municipalities, after that to evaluate differencies between selected examples, next to propose and prepare more cost-effective processes for the whole implementation in municipalities and further try to detect and eliminate all risks. As examples were chosen two different public institutions - Municipality of Konice and The Regional Authority of the Olomouc Region. Both progressed differently, however it is possible to find similar problems during the whole implementation and problem-solving as well. On the basis of evaluation of both examples there is a new methods proposal for the implementation of CAF Model, which eliminates frequent problems. The last chapter is applied to layout of future progress in the field of quality management at municipality sector in a short-term and long-term horizon.
