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

Abstract: The paper presents elements of formal model of warehouse process based on selection of technologically plausible material flow itineraries according to time of realization and space, labour and equipment resources constrains. Model includes structure of supplies and shipments from warehouse facility and types of materials. [..] Read more

Abstract: The aim of the article is to present the characteristics of project team operation in supply chains. The authors concentrated on issues such as the composition of project teams, their size, the way of team management, the tools used for managing the team, as well as on the object of their operation and the extent of reaching the objectives within a supply chain. [..] Read more

Abstract: The aim of this article is to assess and analyze inventory management in commercial companies forming branch purchasing groups. In the article the functioning principles of the purchasing groups and organizations of logistics in this type of groups were discussed. [..] Read more

Abstract: A description of a complex reality in a simplified form, which can be used in research, constitutes the basic purpose of modelling. A system of city logistics interpreted as a system of elements involved in the flow of people, freight and information in urbanized areas is such a complex picture in urbanized areas. [..] Read more

Abstract: The aim of article is to draw attention to the problem of reverse logistics of electronic products exemplified with mobile phones. This paper presents life cycle, the process of recovery and reverse logistics of electronic products exemplified with mobile phones. [..] Read more

Abstract: Utilization of alternative fuels in transport is promoted in many EU documents and regulations. A document which has an impact on the development of infrastructure for alternative fuels is the Directive 2014/94/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, which establishes a common framework for measures relating to infrastructure development of alternative fuels in the EU. [..] Read more

Abstract: The driver behaviours are one of the crucial determinant for the transportation system functioning, especially within the city. They are shaped mainly by driver’s individual perception of reality. [..] Read more

Abstract: The observed in recent times cost-oriented approach based on reliability of technical systems operations enforces engineering staff to implement modern attitude in facility maintenance oriented towards preventive inspections as well as continual supervision over the technical condition of machines and equipment. An example of such approach can be a facility management system established by American aviation and arms industry oriented on RCM (Reliability Centered Maintenance). [..] Read more
