Abstract: Fluctuations in consumption of stocks (inventory consumption) can significantly influence comprehensive strategies for warehouse management. Stocks (inventory items) always mean the emergence of secondary costs arising from their possession. [..] Read more

Abstract: In recent years intermodal transport is one of the most dynamically developing sectors of transport services. From year to year increases the number of transhipped integrated cargo units in the world. [..] Read more

Abstract: The paper presents results of research carried out under one of the SIMMAG3D project tasks. Main goal of the project is to prepare system for modelling and 3D visualization of warehouse facilities. [..] Read more

Abstract: Every year a new annual timetable is being prepared. Under the work on its preparation the organizers of transport together with railway undertakings determine the shape of the transport offer, which will be best suited to the needs of passengers. [..] Read more

Abstract: Since each company can be considered only as a segment of the supply chain, cooperation among all the segments is inevitable. Through cooperation, supply chains can gain competitive advantage and achieve better performance. [..] Read more

Abstract: In today's busy world, industrial enterprises are trying to innovate not to lose their competitive advantage and to match the competition. The global environment makes constant innovation an imperative. [..] Read more

Abstract: Military Economic Branches are special budgetary units, third category beneficiaries of budgetary funds, established in order to perform financial and economic tasks for military units located within a single or several garrisons. Their organisational structure allows to fulfil the tasks related with securing current operating activities within the garrison. [..] Read more

Abstract: Logistics is now becoming the key factor of competitiveness for many enterprises. It does not only result from economic reasons but is also the effect of stricter environmental protection requirements. [..] Read more

Abstract: In order to reduce the negative effects of logistics services, a lot of attention has recently been directed towards the concept of green transport and logistics. The role of the customer - purchaser of transport and logistic services - is considered to be crucial in the development of green initiatives among freight forwarders and logistics services providers (FF/LSP). [..] Read more

Abstract: Risk management is a vital process in all complex logistics project management. We discuss the concept of early warning system EWS dedicated to logistics project, which enable management under the conditions of uncertainty and risk. [..] Read more

Abstract: Firms are constantly looking for the ways and solutions leading to business competitive advantage creation. One of the most effective and efficient solutions of getting and maintaining sustained, long-term competitive advantage by a firm is to implement customer orientation in business management. [..] Read more

Abstract: Logistics is increasingly seen as an integrated management system of the circulation structure of goods, products and information in the conditions of expanding the scale of company operations, extending the logistics chain, intensifying competition and the growing importance of customer service. Today's companies need to combine the efficiency and competitiveness of business in the global market with sensitivity to the needs of local customers. [..] Read more

Abstract: The paper presents analysis and simulation studies on pallet rack system with shuttle trucks – version of shuttle-based storage and retrieval system (SBS/RS). The main attention was paid to systems based on Pallet Radio Shuttle technology. [..] Read more

Abstract: Nowadays, decision support systems play an increasingly important role. On the one hand, they allow for complex design taking into account several boundary conditions. [..] Read more

Abstract: The choice of the proper loading area technology influences the warehouse process efficiency. That is why the efficient loading/unloading needs the optimal parameters of this area. [..] Read more

Abstract: The effectiveness of simulation techniques in the design of logistics systems is becoming increasingly emphasized nowadays. With this in mind, a system design procedure, including simulation research, is proposed in this article. [..] Read more

Abstract: This paper presents the algorithm for designating the number of the transshipment vehicles in the cross-docking system. The problem of minimizing the number of vehicles was presented in a mathematical way. [..] Read more

Abstract: Decisions about the location of the company or logistic hub are a complex process that requires thorough analysis of various factors. The aim of this paper is to identify the most important factors which influence the location of the storage facility. [..] Read more
