Abstract

Permanent optimization of both process and also costs in all areas of activities is one of the fundamental goals of any company, whether it is in terms of competitiveness and achieving optimal results. Also, the management of logistics processes should lead to an increase in sustainable development and reducing costs of organization. This paper evaluates the interdependence of labour costs and logistics management. Specifically, the ratio of labour costs of warehouse employees and the number of manipulated volume of material and labour costs to   the total volume of production. Evaluation of this interdependence is implemented for a period of five years, and during this time a new logistics tool Milk-run was implemented in terms of managing logistics processes.

Keywords: Logistics costs, labour costs, Milk-run
