Problematika zásobování v oblasti dopravy ve společnosti Česká pošta, s.p.

Abstract

The present paper was prepared in order to analyze the current condition and method of supplies of spare parts and operation material to transport centres. In the past, procurement was not centralized often, which provided for certain possibilities to carry out supplies in a more operative way. On the other hand, centralized supplies can lead to bigger discounts, but I think this is at the expense of the flexibility and speed of deliver-ies. The paper was intended to confirm or refute this hypothesis. In the first part, the his-tory of postal services and the characteristics of Česká pošta, s. p. are described in brief. Also, the supply methods before 2006, its advantages and disadvantages are further men-tioned. In the following section, the current procedures in the procurement of spare parts and operation material are described. The paper also provides information about the JIT procurement system and at the end it makes the reader familiar with the advantages and disadvantages. At the end of the paper, an opinion is provided about the procurement method and possible improvements are proposed.
