Abstract: The collaboration in the distribution network, through the connection of entities as well as their actions and resources, takes the dimension of the new outline. Such a structure may form a dominated network or a network of equal partners. [..] Read more

Abstract: In the supply chains, packaging logistics is an important component of the material and information stream, which ensures an adequate level of service for all participants in the chain. It is particularly important from the logistics operator's point of view to ensure proper (efficient and economical) packaging rotation between the chain links. [..] Read more

Abstract: Public safety network is a dynamic and flexible configuration of organisations which goal is to ensuring the safety of all entities on a given administrative area. It is characterised by the uniqueness and variability of operations, as well as constant adaptation to the actual conditions and emerging requirements. [..] Read more

Abstract: Japanese investors' decisions regarding the location of these investments are determined by many different external and internal factors. Japanese investors in the location of their investments often choose developed countries with a stable socio-economic situation. [..] Read more

Abstract: The present article deals with the selection of an appropriate supplier and service provider in the field of transportation and with the determination of key assessment indicators for the selection of transportation service providers. At present, the theories of logistic evaluation of material flows in the transportation segment are paid much attention due to occurrence of plenty of negative phenomena. [..] Read more

Abstract: National logistics systems can create a single integrated economy, therefore the problem of choosing locations and connecting logistics centres to the network should be one of the most important planning tasks in the area of spatial development. For research purposes, research was carried out in which 150 students of Logistics from 2nd year of study, formulated cognitive maps for the location of logistics centers with a network of links.

Abstract: The paper presents an analysis of the fields of application of GNSS systems (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) in logistics, with particular focus on GPS and GLONASS. It identifies advantages gained from GNSS systems and possible problems in the operation of the systems related to their deficiencies. [..] Read more

Abstract: In the changing market managers have to use modern methods, techniques and ideas of management. They have to learn how to implement them into practice. [..] Read more

Abstract: Leading organizations agree on the need for a structured methodology for using performance measurement information to help set agreed-upon performance goals, allocate and prioritize resources, confirm or change current policy or program directions to meet those goals, and report on the success in meeting those goals. The evaluation of enterprise performance forms an inevitable precondition for maximum business success achievement. [..] Read more

Abstract: For most enterprises the present method of business plan preparations applied based on index modification of plans related to the previous periods and/or on combination with the sellers´ method. The business plan is defined by expected volume of sales for individual customers. [..] Read more

Abstract: Overuse of trade sales promotion to keep fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) in the range of retail stores results in a lot of negative impacts on all members of the supply chain network. One of the consequences is also an extreme increase in demand variability for FMCG manufacturers. [..] Read more

Abstract: To solve specific complex logistics tasks, for example, the creation of models of operational production plans, especially if the role is large, given by a large number of machines and equipment involved in production processes, a wide range of products, a long production cycle, the plan is being prepared for several planning periods, pass through several production segments and need to coordinate these plans, the model must respect different types of constraints, etc., then it is difficult or sometimes impossible to create a mathematical model. To adapt the problem to some known mathematical model, e.g. [..] Read more

Abstract: There is a fear that a sharp increase in air transport volume will result in an unacceptable increase in the number of accidents in the future. Experience demonstrates that before an accident occurs various incidents and numerous failures reveal the existence of safety risks. [..] Read more

Abstract: Today, in information time, creation of forecasting in an enterprise is not only associated with the preparation of plans and considerations about possible future sales of products. It is still widely and widely used in many business activities, levels e.g. [..] Read more

Abstract: Informatization, digitalization and automation of production and logistic processes became a part of a new industrial revolution especially due to the fact that specific and customizable software are used to manage these processes. Informatization and digitalization is the base of automation of production and logistic processes. [..] Read more

Abstract: The contemporary logistic systems are very complex and their control requires multidisciplinary range of expertise. Dynamic simulation is a tool allowing the decision maker to compare many possible scenarios and helps to find the optimal solution. [..] Read more

Abstract: If a company is to generate profit it must actively react to the changing demands of the market. In order to meet current customer demands a company must make sure it is adhering to the 7R rule. [..] Read more
