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.

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

Abstract: Business success is based, among other things, on the ability to manage the company and to affect own position in the networks structures of the supplier-customer relations. Internal, but especially external processes, situated among company and its suppliers have an important role in optimization of business environment. [..] Read more

Abstract: The main purpose of this paper is to analyze the consistency of performance indicators related to logistics processes in the selected manufacturing company. Research explores two basic areas: 1) which performance indicators are applied in measuring and assessing logistics processes and 2) how are defined attributes of performance indicators, which should create a consistent system for measuring and evaluating performance. [..] Read more

Abstract: Article deals with research in field of automatic identification by selected components through radio-frequency identification technology (RFID) in conjunction with automotive industry. The aim of our research was to identify all RFID identifiers placed on selected components and to localize position floodlights, which was stored on pallet. [..] Read more

Abstract: Resilience strategy can be implemented in a passive and active way. The passive one refers to concentrating on protecting the supply chain against the threats occurring in the environment. [..] Read more

Abstract: The philosophy of kaizen is derived from the Toyota Production System (TPS). In Japanese kaizen means "continuous improvements" or "change for the betterment”. [..] Read more

Abstract: Lean Logistics concept is a very useful method to gain a competitive advantage and achieve profitability in the global environment. The paper deals with the situation of using Lean Logistics concept in the Czech engineering companies. [..] Read more

Abstract: This paper describes the principle and calculation of combined model of forecasting, describes also the choice of methods for calculation, which should be used in the model, examples of forecasts creations by using historic time series of two types of magnesite sales in a big mining company in Slovakia. The resulted forecast is compared with well-known and widely used ARIMA model and finally the forecasts are compared with the real sale.. [..] Read more

Abstract: The article describes cost problem of managing the production process. It demonstrates that decision problems implied creation of risk factors and are also the source of costs for the enterprise. [..] Read more

Abstract: The paper is an analysis of relations between root-causes of delays and their duration. The article is based on data gathered during a case study research in a small batch production company based in Silesia district in Poland. [..] Read more

Abstract: Systemic approach allows to see the production enterprise as a complex system of production and auxiliary facilities. In process approach, manufacturing makes the stream of materials flow through individual production cells in a mixed (serial - parallel) system, in a discreet way (in steps). [..] Read more

Abstract: The survey deals with factors of the customer decision-making process by choosing Third-Party Logistics (3PL) providers in the Czech Republic market. While applying factors by other relevant research studies focusing on the decision-making process of customers in the Asian, Australian and American market, the research monitor factors characteristic for the Czech customers. [..] Read more

Abstract: The article deals with safety in warehouses. The article focuses on work safety for drivers of handling equipment and compliance to technological procedures for loading goods onto shelves. [..] Read more
