The diploma thesis deals with process automation of debiting suppliers in Škoda Auto company. The aim of the thesis is to develop a strategy for automation of a chosen process, while meeting the conditions so the automation makes sense both economically and technically. At first, the chosen process is analyzed. Based on the outcome it is decided whether the process or its parts are suitable for automation. Next step is to suggest the solution of automation, including analysis and comparation of available technologies, creation of POC solution and the technical assignment itself. Then a calculation of costs and savings is done and it is decided whether the automation of a chosen process is financially beneficial. Next there is a description of the development of the automation, including testing, deployment and technical validation. Eventually the results are evaluated. The outcome of the thesis is an implemented automated process, which was analyzed properly to minimize the chance of situations when the developed automation would not be used or would be economically disadvantigeous. The potential savings of the particular automation are quantified specifically and so are the real savings, based on the data from the first five months when the solution is already deployed.
