Abstract: Intermodal transport based on exchanging containers needs effective and efficient functioning of land terminals. The article presents a heuristic method, which combines the issues of scheduling loading machine operation and its route in the fulfilment of carriage-yard transport orders. [..] Read more

Abstract: The timeliness index for the performance of the service is one of basic parameters of the assessment of the efficiency of logistics system operation. The results of surveys of passenger preferences nearly always identify punctuality as one of the three most important and also most recognizable features, which describe the functioning of public transport in a city.

Abstract: The goal of the article is to determine the influence of ERP and CRM systems on the economic results of businesses in relation to particular voivodships in Poland. The analysis involves the following variables: Number of companies using ERP software packages for transmitting information between different departments (e.g., accounting, marketing, production), Number of companies using CRM software to collect and storage information on customers as well as provide information access to other organizational units. [..] Read more

Abstract: An intensive population growth, progressing social and economic development processes and growing urbanization of rapidly developing countries significantly translate into an increase in the amount of generated waste. At present, approx. [..] Read more

Abstract: This paper represents the sketch of the new method of material supply to the robotic workplaces in a company from automotive. This work concerns the analysis of the contemporary state and the sketch of the new method of importing materials in the form of milk run. [..] Read more

Abstract: The main goal of the paper is to present outputs of the case study realized by researchers of the Institute of Logistics, Faculty BERG, Technical University of Košice. The case study was oriented to the problem of reverse logistics and its application for wastes. [..] Read more

Abstract: Effective operation of business logistics processes is the main aim in the majority of companies acting in various industries where mechanical engineering is no exception. For the correct operation of the production process is necessary to carry out quality analysis for its implementation can be used a wide range of methods and tools. [..] Read more

Abstract: The rapidly growing biofuel industry poses considerable challenges to its supply chain network design and operations. Along with coal, natural gas and nuclear power, one of the most important sources of energy is peat. [..] Read more

Abstract: Presented paper is a part of the dissertation thesis titled as “A proposal of methodology for developing a logistics strategy for industrial companies in Slovakia. The main aim of the paper is to propose and present methodology for developing logistics strategy for industrial companies in Slovakia based on theoretical knowledge gained by studying domestic and foreign literature and analysis of the current state of the logistics strategies issues in industrial companies in Slovakia, as well as surveys conducted abroad. [..] Read more

Abstract: Belt conveyors are used in numerous in-house logistics systems. It is necessary to know properties of these conveyor belts for their effective functioning. [..] Read more

Abstract: Projects implemented in the area of logistics are more and more often distinguished within the activity of modern enterprises and supply chains. They represent the practical aspect of solutions that should be implemented to avoid or mitigate problems connected with the flow of materials, knowledge, information and finances. [..] Read more

Abstract: Nowadays the main objective of logistics is to optimize the management process of product flow. The completion of logistics functions in the enterprise requires an increasing amount of various information, which allows costs and proper functioning of logistics processes to be specified. [..] Read more

Abstract: The article presents selected aspects of modeling accounting systems in the enterprise. It focuses on modeling data flows in the ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system in the context of recording costs and performance. [..] Read more

Abstract: Several methods are used in industry to deal with the excess of dissolved hydrogen in metal aloys. Strict control on disolved hydrogen is necessary to reduce the risk of metal embrittlement and severe property loss. [..] Read more

Abstract: The results of the experiments on the high-silicon cast iron crystallization have been presented in the paper. The researches have been focused on the transformations in solid state during the crystallization process. [..] Read more

Abstract: The problem of pneumatic powder injection into liquid alloys has been analyzed by authors in previous theoretical, model and numerical experiments what was reported in previous articles. Here an issue of real semi-industrial hot experiments has been presented. [..] Read more

Abstract: A production of heavy forging ingots is usually accompanied by a segregation of elements in the structure of steel. The segregation of the elements causes anisotropy of mechanical properties. [..] Read more

Abstract: One way for recycling of waste plastics is the utilization as an alternative reducing agent within the blast furnace process. Thus, they are substituting commonly used reducing agents such as coke and heavy oil, for example. [..] Read more

Abstract: At the blast-furnace process about 30% of oxygen is removed from the burden by direct reduction. Based on Ramm’s principles, the minimization fuel rate model, which is applied at computer-aided support system for blast furnace technology for BF No. [..] Read more

Abstract: Aluminium has various uses of iron metallurgy. It is often used as an alloying additive to increase the mechanical or improve physical properties. [..] Read more
