Abstract: Stocks are the most important elements of the logistic process at each stage of the manufacturing company's operation, e.g. supply, manufacturing and distribution. [..] Read more

Abstract: This article will try to define which type of cost calculation will help generating the highest economic value by the supply chain in a situation in which a steel-making company is facing a decrease of market demand. In such a situation, production and sales of the company are decreasing in time. [..] Read more

Abstract: The industrialization and urbanization conducted without respecting the rules of the environment has led to the destruction and degradation of many areas. The need of their revitalization especially in industrialized regions is a very important social and economic problem. [..] Read more

Abstract: The primary tool allowing for the logistics costs record keeping is a well-functioning logistics costs account, which should be identified with a system allowing for determination of the level of costs incurred in connection with the implementation of logistics processes in a given unit of time. On the other hand, to be able to achieve the goals of the logistics costs account, the account should be available in many forms and sections. [..] Read more

Abstract: The concept of resilience is well developed as it has been studied extensively in last decade. The effort has been made to find ways to increase the supply chain resilience and thus to reduce an impact on supply chain long term performance. [..] Read more

Abstract: In the paper will be presented the way performing the studies, particularly the selection and characterization of the survey sample and the analytical scheme of research. The results of this study will enable to answer the following questions: whether the use of SS (single sourcing) increases the likelihood and consequences of disruption and whether SS has been applied in an appropriate way. [..] Read more

Abstract: The tools of the virtual reality are becoming more frequently used in planning, implementation as well as analysis of production processes. The simulation programmes which offer the possibilities of probable threats of negative impact on the production process allow the application of various corrective actions, which are about to improve the effectiveness of chosen systems and to implement priorities which are individually defined by a particular organisational entity. [..] Read more

Abstract: The main purpose of the paper is identify the key actions of servitising manufacturers in the supply chain market business-to-business context. The chosen method for this paper is an explorative, in-depth, single case study. [..] Read more

Abstract: The aim of the article is to demonstrate that logistics costs are a basic measure of the quantity and efficiency of logistics processes, and therefore their precise identification and detailed analysis are important. Logistics costs have a major impact on the overall performance of an of the enterprise's economic activity and on shaping the final financial result that determines the level of value added.The issue of logistics costs is one of the most difficult and complex problems, resulting from the extensive and blurred structure of these costs and the difficulty in identification.
