Abstract: The paper deals with the design of a possible technical solution of utilisation of an autonomous (satellite) system of electronic toll collection in the framework of a logistics information system. The introduction is dedicated to general characteristics of autonomous electronic toll collection system and the state in the Slovak Republic. [..] Read more

Abstract: From 2004 to 2013, a number of projects aimed at the development of transport infrastructure in Poland were completed. Some of them were aimed at supporting trans-European transport (TEN-T) network, as well as at increasing regional development by creating investment areas, growing life standards by better inhabitants’ mobility, decreasing unemployment rate, and so on. [..] Read more

Abstract: The Czech Republic has been historically a major producer of engineering products that includes unique products, although their size usually exceeds standard dimensions or weight. These types of products have high value added and are important for export. [..] Read more

Abstract: Research in reverse logistics was previously focused mainly on manufacturing enterprises and on tangible reverse flows. However, with steady increasing proportion of services in GDP and with servitization of products, direction of further research in reverse logistics could aim on service sector and on intangible reverse flows, i.e. [..] Read more

Abstract: The article discusses the basic characteristics of multiversion production and also presents the problem of production of different product versions on the same production line. The car production is selected as an example of the multiversion production process. [..] Read more

Abstract: Megatrends have a high impact on logistics processes. Nevertheless some companies are still hesitating to start initiatives to react to it. [..] Read more

Abstract: Firms permanently search for new methods and instruments of performance improvement, as well as for strategies and operational programs affecting business competitive advantage achievement and maintenance. During the recent years, one may notice the progressive growth of logistics significance as a management concept influencing economic outcomes (profit, profitability, ROA, ROE, ROI) and market outcomes (customer satisfaction, customer loyalty, market share) achievement by a firm. [..] Read more

Abstract: Performance measurement is a topic which is often discussed by both academics and practitioners but it is complicated by its multi-dimensional nature. One way of overcoming the inherent complexity of performance measurement system might be to employ structured design methodologies. [..] Read more

Abstract: Innovation and technology play an important role in improving productivity in logistics chains. Having enough articles in one’s warehouse does not suffice to meet the increasing customer requirements. [..] Read more

Abstract: The purchasing of an industrial company or an organization of tertiary sphere is one of the functional management fields. The effective functioning of the purchasing systems is the important presumption to reach high level of the competitive advantage of the organizations. [..] Read more

Abstract: Forecasting methods have had successful applications in business. Nowadays the new theories of soft computing are used in this field because it helps to lead to higher profits. [..] Read more

Abstract: In connection with the new focus on the European transport network TEN-T is very important to focus the logistics research on proposal of public logistics centres with access to the intermodal transport network. In terms of transport externalities and the capacity of existing transport infrastructure, for future transportation of goods within the EU are very perspective inland waterways and rail network. [..] Read more

Abstract: The article deals with research of usability passive RFID technology with transport units and postal packages for real postal operator. In this article we would like to share a way of testing and the results that we found during the test in real conditions. [..] Read more

Abstract: This paper presents importance and the benefits of integration of circular economy in supply chain management. The main aim of the paper is to implicate of circular economy principles across the supply chain. [..] Read more

Abstract: A logistic strategy, which is one of the operational strategies of enterprises, constitutes a composition of long-term and coordinated decisions and activities regarding location, transport, warehousing, inventory management and customer service aimed at attaining a competitive advantage. Strategic choices concerning the company logistics depend on many factors, both connected with its internal capacity and with external circumstances, including macroeconomic, regulatory, demographic, social, infrastructure and technological changes. [..] Read more

Abstract: The efficiency of logistics processes is still a current problem in construction companies. Many construction companies do not achieve the required level of efficiency of these processes, because they are not well managed. [..] Read more

Abstract: The main purpose of this article is to show how it can be used Hamiltonian graphs and their property in the software designing and testing. In the article there are described Hamiltonian graphs that are necessary to understand the content of the research conducted in a frame of R&D project called "The prototype of an innovative and technologically advanced OPTIbud B2B platform that supports the management of construction processes through the integration of data and information from multiple sources", funded by the National Research and Development Centre under the INNOTECH program, Hi-Tech path. [..] Read more

Abstract: Supply Chain Management offer long-term stability for business volumes confidence contractual relationship and the possibility of greater efficiency and optimization of the entire supply chain. On the other hand, it follows the seasonal peaks and dips of orders by customers (which is due to optimal management of adverse event). [..] Read more

Abstract: This paper offers a new perspective on factors influencing the results of reverse electronic auctions (e-auctions) in purchase. Using the expert-performance approach established by Ericsson and Towne [1], we examine the claim by Smeltzer and Carr [2] that qualified and experienced buyers tend to perform better in e-auctions. [..] Read more

Abstract: Modern engineered systems, both manufacturing and service-related include supply chains systems, are becoming increasingly complex. The complexity of these systems is multi-dimensional, namely: structural, spatial and temporal. [..] Read more
