Komparace rizikových událostí v mezinárodní přepravě zboží mezi Českem a Německem

This bachelor’s thesis focuses on the analysis and comparison of risk events in international road freight transport between the Czech Republic and Germany. The main objective is to identify the most common risks, their causes, and their impacts on logistics processes, and subsequently evaluate risk management approaches in two selected companies. The thesis also applies the Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) method for the quantitative assessment of risks and the proposal of measures to mitigate their impacts. The theoretical part defines the fundamental concepts related to logistics, risk management, and the EU legislative framework affecting international road transport. The practical part focuses on the analysis of two logistics companies from the Czech Republic and Germany, where a SWOT analysis and risk identification are carried out based on structured interviews. Subsequently, the identified risks are evaluated using the FMEA method. The results show that both countries face common challenges, particularly a shortage of drivers and increasing costs, however, they differ in other risk factors. In Germany, risks related to high operating costs, regulation, and environmental requirements prevail, while in the Czech Republic, risks associated with infrastructure and financial stability are more significant. Differences were also identified in risk management approaches, with the Czech company emphasizing financial aspects and cargo security, whereas the German company focuses more on digitalization and long-term sustainability. The findings confirm that effective risk management is a key factor for future competitiveness in the logistics sector.
