Abstract: The iron and steel industry plays an important role as a supplier to many other industries on an international scale. Given the strong dependence of economies on its products, maintaining its sustainability is essential. [..] Read more

Abstract: The research objective was to diagnose aluminum gearbox castings using the proposed diagnosis methodology and pro-quality analysis. The study identified the most severe non-conformity (in terms of frequency of occurrence and its consequences) – the sandblasting within the casting base. [..] Read more

Abstract: The successful management of product incompatibility remains a challenge. Therefore, the study aims to analyze the possibilities of effective management through qualitative analyses. [..] Read more

Abstract: A large portion of industrial projects fail in one or more parameters of project goals. Therefore, authors of the paper have focused on identifying the failure roots through a survey performed among industrial companies from automotive, foundry & metallurgy and aerospace area located in the Czech Republic. [..] Read more

Abstract: The characteristics of land are important for network optimization problems in logistics. Due to its large area and atypical geographical type, Turkey is good for testing and implementing network optimization in the European logistics sector. [..] Read more

Abstract: Usual levels of logistics services provided, and their characteristic features are defined the in the paper. The main goal of this paper is to describe the current state of application of logistics services outsourcing in the Czech Republic, find specifics about their quality control and recommend suggestions for improvement. [..] Read more

Abstract: Integrating the cooperation of enterprises in supply chain is distinguished among the key factors enabling the achievement of competitive advantage and increasing performance effectiveness. In the supply chain, suppliers (of raw materials, materials, semi-finished products, parts), manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, as well as providers of specialized logistics services cooperate with each other. [..] Read more

Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic has contributed to the fact that the issue of courier, delivery and shipping companies, or the entire logistics chain associated with online shopping, is viewed in a completely different way than it was before the pandemic crisis. Under the pressure of circumstances, more and more small and medium-sized businesses are starting to sell online. [..] Read more

Abstract: This paper addresses places with reduced speed in road transport, such as railway crossings, signalized junctions, roundabouts, and pedestrian crossings, and the importance of their number in deciding on municipality bypasses. Based on an assessment of 10 existing bypasses in the central part of the Czech Republic, bypasses have been divided into 3 groups depending on the importance and size of municipalities. [..] Read more

Abstract: The paper deals with the issue of capacity balancing at the operational level of production management. The authors focused on the possibilities of supporting planning and decision-making processes, where they provided planning staff (production planners) with measures to gradually balance the production schedule in relation to the available production capacities. [..] Read more

Abstract: Industry 4.0 or the Fourth Industrial Revolution means not only technological changes, but also social and industrial changes caused by the digital transformation of industry. These changes create a new environment for the functioning of enterprises and, to a different extent, influence the shaping of contemporary challenges for companies. [..] Read more

Abstract: Simulation software has become an integral part of solving scientific problems. Transport is no exception; therefore, every transport project must be based on a model and simulation. [..] Read more

Abstract: This paper is devoted to the specific transport of companion animals. There are issues to be resolved regarding animal transportation and the logistics process related to commercial and non-commercial transport. [..] Read more

Abstract: This poster deals with the current issue of industrial localization using RTLS technology, which is now widely introduced in the logistics industry and thus creates a number of opportunities for the possibility of process optimization. This poster highlights the specific use of this technology in logistics flows, which now needs to be thoroughly researched. [..] Read more

Abstract: In addition to a stable economy, the circular model should also ensure a healthy environment. The yield in this system is based on the efficiency of using natural resources through efficient recovery. [..] Read more

Abstract: This article shows the digital version of a laboratory designed for training logistics processes. Digital models are exact copies of real laboratory equipment. [..] Read more

Abstract: The world is facing to various hazards globally over the last three years, such as: the global COVID-19 pandemic crisis. Even the ongoing war conflict between Russia and Ukraine does not add stability to the market and the ever-increasing prices of energy and some staple foods are changing consumer prices and making the situation confusing. [..] Read more

Abstract: Today, the digitization, improvement and acceleration of all processes means the efforts of manufacturing companies and companies to move their production to a higher level. They try to find such possibilities that will allow them to optimize production as best as possible under the most favorable economic conditions. [..] Read more

Abstract: One of the most popular algorithms for solving the permutation flow shop scheduling problem (PFSP) for the makespan minimization criterion is the NEH algorithm. Many research papers have been devoted to the NEH algorithm and its improvements. [..] Read more

Abstract: The main topic of the article is an ergonomic analysis by the RULA method on the assembly line in the company Schaeffler Skalica s.r.o. It is very important to know the very process of assembly in the workplace, which leads to knowledge of the shortcomings that appear in the performance of work. [..] Read more
