Abstract:

This bachelor thesis focuses on the optimization of logistics processes in a manufacturing company producing confectionery products. The main objective is to evaluate alternative solutions for organizing the maturation and transportation process in order to reduce lead time, eliminate unnecessary warehousing activities, and improve overall cost efficiency. The research combines qualitative insights from expert consultation with quantitative multi-criteria decision-making methods. Based on the analysis of the current logistics process, several alternative strategies were proposed. These alternatives were evaluated using the Saaty's method to determine the relative importance of selected criteria and the TOPSIS method to identify the most suitable solution. The results provide a structured comparison of alternatives and identify the option that offers the best balance between economic performance, operational efficiency, and risk management. The results help improve logistics decision-making and confirm that multi-criteria decision-making methods are practical tools for solving real supply chain problems.
