Abstract: Artificial intelligence today has become a tool suitable not only for solving household and industrial problems, but also for optimizing and improving the efficiency of business processes. Using the example of the procurement of high-tech metallurgical products, the article demonstrates the areas of effective application of artificial intelligence in a multi-stage international project. [..] Read more

Abstract: In an era of fierce competition, the activities of business entities are not only limited to production, delivering products to the target market, but also to achieving the desired sales volume, maintaining proper relations with suppliers and customers. Close cooperation with suppliers and with the distributor is required. [..] Read more

Abstract: Route planning currently deals with an increase in demands that must be satisfied swiftly and at the lowest possible costs. This is also the case with KOPOS Kolín Company, which is one of the largest manufacturers of electrical installation materials. [..] Read more

Abstract: The main results of the international project "Virtual Open Course of Automotive Life Cycle Assessment" aLIFEca was developing LCA MOOC (life cycle assessment massive open online course) for transport sector. The LCA MOOC included results of scientific research of life cycle assessment and environmental footprints of vehicles and transport fuels like: conventionally powered vehicles, battery electric vehicles and fuel cell electric vehicles. [..] Read more

Abstract: Sustainable business requires changes in the management of logistics activities. One of these activities is packaging, which has recently attracted the attention of many stakeholders in the supply chain. [..] Read more

Abstract: Product packaging plays an important role not only in managing direct and reverse material flows, but also in managing value for individual customer segments or micro-segments. While the design of secondary and tertiary packaging is more important from a supply chain management perspective, primary packaging is the most important for end consumers. [..] Read more

Abstract: The logistics industry is experiencing digitalization and faces growing customer demands, fierce competition, and internationally connected markets. At the same time, the logistics industry is under pressure through political environmental decisions. [..] Read more

Abstract: The paper presents a real decision problem regarding the issue of planning the supply of LPG (a popular fuel in Poland) to petrol stations. A description of the elements of the decision problem is presented: inventory in station readings and forecasts, petrol station categorization, and planning and scheduling of tank truck delivery journeys. [..] Read more

Abstract: In the automotive industry, as in other industries, there is a clear drive to achieve higher efficiency in industrial processes, energy savings, waste minimization and reduction of greenhouse gases. This effort extends to both production areas and associated areas such as logistics. [..] Read more

Abstract: The industrial landscape, including the automotive sector, is constantly striving for transformation in alignment with the principles of Industry 4.0 and broader digital transformation objectives. While numerous research papers elaborate on these concepts, they often do so in abstract terms, resulting in a notable gap between theory and actual implementation. [..] Read more

Abstract: Contemporary business conditions identify warehousing as a key component of supply chain (SC) efficiency It can appear in all stages of SC implementation, from the supply of raw materials to the delivery of finished products to customers.
