Secondary abstract: |
In the master’s thesis, we have dealt with the topic of organizational aspects of logistic business operation of the company Gea-Vipoll. First, we have defined purpose, objectives and hypotheses, presumptions and restrictions of the research, and presented research methods.
Master’s thesis has been divided into seven chapters. We have defined the importance of organization in the company, organizational structure, and presented five types of organizational structure: functional, divisional, project, matrix, and dynamic. This is followed by logistics, which is a central topic of our master’s thesis. We have defined logistics, its objectives and importance for the company, and we have researched influence of globalization on logistics. Further, we have defined elements and sub-systems of logistics in details. We have mainly focused on after-sales logistics, namely: logistics of spare parts, purchase-decisive process, and after-sales services. We have also dealt with connection of logistics and other business systems.
Together with the company Gea-Vipoll, we have supported the theory with practical cases. The company is engaged in the production of high-tech filling lines, and began to work under new owners at the beginning of this year. Although, we have thought that change of owners brought changes to work organization that is not the case. We have analysed workflow in logistic sub-systems and defined a possibility to improve logistics in the company. |
