Teymur Sultanzade

Bachelor's thesis

Abstract:

This bachelor thesis aims to propose the design of the operation for a Vape Bar using operation management tools. Moreover, this BT provides first standards for operations of a Vape bar business in Prague. In the first chapter, Vape economy and its importance around the world is presented. This shows that its potentials are growing constantly and that the absence of such a business in Prague is an opportunity. The thesis then adheres the methodology of the process design framework, where it describes the importance and concepts of operation management tools. Finally, these methodologies are applied to design the operations in a Vape bar. First, the SIPOC tool is used to get a simple scope and the objectives of the operations before the work starts. Then, each point of the process design framework is designed and elaborated in detail in each following chapter. At the end, again the SIPOC tool is used to summarize the relevant information from previous chapters and to show the operation design proposal. As the results, the methodology is applied and the following findings yield to the conclusion that the first standardized projections of operation in a Vape bar constructed. This thesis is expected to be used as the general standards for operations in a Vape bar, thus making a small contribution to better controlling and management processes while running this business.
