Abstract: This paper presents an analysis of selected Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) reports published by companies operating in Poland to determine the existence and specificity of disclosures concerning the circular economy issues. In particular, the paper is focused on identification of qualitative and quantitative descriptions of material aspects and practices related to the 4R (Reduce, Reuse, Remanufacture and Recycle) model implemented to improve environmental performance of products and processes.

Abstract: A significant and often problematic part of a local road, while solving the traffic within the city area, is the capacity of the local roads. Capacity of a local road can be defined as the maximum number of vehicles that can pass per unit of time by a pursued rust, strip or lane of local road under the favorable driving conditions.

Abstract: Under the term “structure of logistic costs” percentage of individual cost items over the total costs is understood. The structure shows the dependence of particular cost elements on production volume. [..] Read more

Abstract: Modern production strategic goals all over the world are based on zero defect and safety first. Both are key factors to achieve high goodwill and therefore to gain sales force. [..] Read more

Abstract: The key point in global logistics is the integration between different sides in supply chains. Integration is indispensable not only between supply chain partners but also between intermediary logistics operators in these relations, which directly leads to increased operational efficiency and competitiveness for supply chain participants. [..] Read more

Abstract: The authors took a challenge to analyse the possibility of the application of a FMEA method for improving the efficacy of logistics operator’s activity, especially executed logistics processes. Searching for methods and tools for improving the efficiency of logistical processes requires both the development of new solutions and the appropriate modification of existing solutions. [..] Read more

Abstract: Implementation of the circular economy concept involves the need to close the loop of the product life cycles and requires extensive activities related to reverse logistics. Correct execution and efficiency evaluation of these actions require application of appropriate indicators and measures. [..] Read more

Abstract: Business co-operation is one of the ways in which companies perceive opportunities to improve their performance in reaching targets. One of them is the desire to increase the level of innovation of the co-operating entities, resulting in the creation and implementation of new product, process, organizational and marketing solutions.

Abstract: What is the purpose of actual SCM concepts such as LARG SCM, SCM 2.0, Supply Chain Becomes Demand Chain? Is it maximising profit, quality, lead time, market share? All these maxims are supported by reductionistic way of system thinking, which declares that the whole is just sum of its parts and the best way which could be done is maximising the output of particular parts. Holistic way of system thinking declares, that this assumption is the same mistake as to lean the ladder against the wrong wall. [..] Read more

Abstract: The article presents problem of sequencing multiversion car production. An issue of so-called Car Sequencing Problem, widely considered in the literature, is discussed. [..] Read more

Abstract: The Industry 4.0 concept is becoming increasingly popular. It gives the possibility of gaining a competitive advantage for the countries of the European Union. [..] Read more

Abstract: The article shows the idea of building the algorithm to examine the structure of marketing product categories, which could become the basis for shaping the logistics systems of distribution. In the face of changing needs of consumers as well as models of purchasing decisions, this approach may be an important factor in increasing the competitiveness of distribution companies. [..] Read more

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. [..] Read more

Abstract: The main aim of the article is to present the importance of innovativeness and innovation in every level of supply chain management and therefore for sustainable development. There is focused on the paper the role of innovativeness and innovation in creating competitive advantage.In this paper authors present problems connected with Supply Chain Management, which allow many companies to improve their market position. [..] Read more

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
