Abstract: In this paper we consider the well known Hub and Spoke problem according to the Warsaw Public Transport System. Our approach is based on data available on the website of the ZTM (Zakłady Transportu Miejskiego - Urban Transport Company) and an evolutionary algorithm method that detects logistic hubs well connected (with the high capacity of available transport means) with the center of the city and other detected hubs.

Abstract: Forecasting future volume of traffic at the intersection may lead to increase the drivers safety on city roads. The possibility of realization forecasting methods for the transportation system is an important element of traffic management in the city. [..] Read more

Abstract: Car spare-parts must be frequently provided in after-sales service. Customers have great expectations in terms of the delivery and availability of spares. [..] Read more

Abstract: The purpose of the present paper – which is conceptual in nature – is to initiate discussion of the need for and feasibility of the measurement of the impact of IOT projects on supply chain efficiency. PESTEL factors relevant to supply chains are discussed, with a focus on the IOT. [..] Read more

Abstract: The paper provides a qualitative analysis of the proposal to introduce SWIBŻ into creation of Polish Port Community System. The key information from SWIBŻ system would be widely used by national and international administration institutions in order to achieve expected level of shipping monitoring and control.

Abstract: The article deals with the process of searching the optimal locations of logistic hubs in conditions of postal logistic network of Slovak Post. The research adopted in this article uses allocation models within graph theory to obtain results for addressed optimization problem. [..] Read more

Abstract: The primary tool allowing for the logistics costs record keeping is a well-functioning logistics costs account, which should be identified with a system allowing for determination of the level of costs incurred in connection with the implementation of logistics processes in a given unit of time [1]. On the other hand, to be able to achieve the goals of the logistics costs account, the account should be available in many forms and sections. [..] Read more

Abstract: Article deals with the realization of equipment were energy-efficient integrated circuits, which are connected with intelligent sensors. This device is equipped with motion, vibration, acceleration, temperature, humidity and other sensors. [..] Read more

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.
