Abstract: The article attempts to identify and assess socio-technological conditions for the development of intermodal transport in the cross-border areas of the Silesia and Opole province. The research presented in the article is based on expert judgment and is a fragment of broader research aimed at developing a strategy for the development of freight transport in the field of international research project implemented in territorial cooperation of three countries: the Czech Republic, Poland and Slovakia with the participation of the European Grouping of Territorial Cooperation TRITIA, established to improve cross-border, transnational and interregional cooperation between its members..

Abstract: The European transport policy assumes the growth of intermodal transport utilization within cargo haulage. Systematic increase of cargo weight and performed haulage operations using the concept of intermodal transport has been noticed in Poland. [..] Read more

Abstract: Inland waterway transport is an important element of the freight transport throughout Europe. Waterways connect the most important points of transport infrastructure with each other, which provides direct access to the sea for countries that do not have it. [..] Read more

Abstract: Article presents the relationships between the circular economy and reverse logistic with a particular emphasis on the role of processes in reverse logistics and circular economy principles in the creation of closed loop supply chains. The main links between reverse logistic and circular economy were identified on the basis of a literature review. [..] Read more

Abstract: In the present era of economic growth, most industries in developed countries are calling for people. In the Czech Republic a low unemployment rate also persists, which is the problem for most employers. [..] Read more

Abstract: Project management is based on a process concept by which we understand all the activities and subjects involved in the project.

Abstract: The objective of the paper was to indicate internationalisation barriers of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs) from Great Britain. Expectations of SMEs towards activities supporting internationalisation were demonstrated. [..] Read more

Abstract: One of the types of production employed at metallurgical plants is serial production. Serial production is applied for products that have steady demand, are homogeneous and can be delivered to more customers. [..] Read more

Abstract: In the era of Industry 4.0, most enterprises strive for optimising production. While eliminating waste and implementing lean manufacturing tools, Just-in-Time concept or Kanban system in the manufacturing processes, it is worth considering the aspect of internal transport within the plant.

Abstract: Organising and coordination of goods and people transportation is the main area of city logistics and should be included in a policy pursued by city authorities towards various city space users. Unfortunately as far there is a lack of comprehensive approach on passengers and freight flows therefore in different issues they are treated separately. [..] Read more

Abstract: Enterprises need methods that allow for optimal management of logistics processes with a particular focus on the financial dimension. The answer to these needs is logistics cost accounting, whose task is to identify and process costs related to logistic processes in enterprises in a systemic way. [..] Read more

Abstract: The complexity of manufacturing systems is a result of the emergence, which unconditionally relies on the qualities of the analyzed manufacturing system, the type and scale of production and the features and kind of manufactured final products. For realistic production systems formally defining their complexity is difficult and ambivalent. [..] Read more

Abstract: A number of domestic and foreign companies have long been struggling with the problem of storage and supply. Warehouses are an important part of the logistics chain as a link among the supplier, the manufacturer and the final consumer. [..] Read more

Abstract: Quality is a complex of different parameters. Some of these parameters are subjective, others are objective. [..] Read more

Abstract: The customer market is becoming more and more demanding. Customers want to have influence on the final shape, form, functionality and characteristics of the product. [..] Read more

Abstract: The basis of frequency inventory analysis is ABC analysis. It is one of simple tools that can be applied in a variety of modifications and various fields such as in management of assets and liabilities, management of completion in production, sales management. [..] Read more

Abstract: The 21st century is characterised by the unprecedented speed and scope of changes, creating a new external environment, where the logistics systems are managed. The crucial role of external environment for the optimal performance of logistics systems in economic, environmental and social aspects of sustainability has been identified. [..] Read more

Abstract: Innovation management process implies the strong relation between innovativeness and organization performance but generalization of those interdependences stays limited by the lack of valuable predictors. Realized studies emphasize particularly in the context of emerging market the growing impact of organization learning on the company performance realized through the innovativeness triggering a research for new management tools.
