Abstract: Technological processes of freight transport are characterized by stochasticity of indicators describing its efficiency. The mentioned randomness is usually could be explained by the stochasticity of demand for transport services. [..] Read more

Abstract: Containerisation of goods is a trend, which is constantly increasing in a meaning of volume of transported goods. The most of bulk goods are transhipped through container terminals in seaports. [..] Read more

Abstract: The paper has a scientific- pedagogical character. It deals with the justification of the need to prepare "logistics" experts for the field of continuous media and energies flows. [..] Read more

Abstract: Suppliers are an inevitable part of a logistics chain. It is crucial for each company to select the best possible suppliers. [..] Read more

Abstract: Authorizing the placing in service of a rail vehicle, which is called in Polish "Regulations permitting a vehicle type to operation", is meant as a procedure carried out by appropriate authorities in order to hand over a rail vehicle to be operated in accordance with its purpose. A condition for permitting vehicle types to be operated is to obtain a certificate of placing in service for the first vehicle of a given type. [..] Read more

Abstract: According to Schumpeter’s innovation theory of profit, the innovation is placed as a core element of an entrepreneur strategy to reduce costs or rise the demand for products, thus to increase the profit. A lot of industry research results verify that theory positively proving that financing innovations leads to the return of 20%, up to 50% at the case of successfully commercialised solutions, depending on the case and the method of measuring the impact.

Abstract: Logistics management has become more and more in the forefront of management interest in industrial companies, which are aware of its key importance, especially in the conditions of a dynamic environment and rapid growth, which in addition to opportunities and revenue growth brings with it risks and new challenges. The aim of this article is to identify and present barriers to logistics management of a fast-growing enterprise and concepts of approaches leading to the removal of priority barriers based on the framework of process maturity models and case study from the automotive industry company. [..] Read more

Abstract: Sustainability plays crucial role in today’s competitive environment. Having CSR strategy implemented in the area of production seems to be not enough. [..] Read more

Abstract: Sustainable transport system refers to desirable combinations of government policies, infrastructure and technologies which minimise environmental impacts and refers to economic and social issues. The aim of this paper was to study the possibilities and challenges for application environmental life cycle assessment (LCA) methods for support sustainable transport. [..] Read more

Abstract: Our contribution is focused on the problem of the use of electric vehicles in freight transport. The area of potential use of electric cars is affected by a high level of uncertainty in terms of efficiency and operating costs. [..] Read more

Abstract: The objective of this article is to present an innovative concept of intelligent reconfigurable trolleys for the city multi-floor manufacturing and accompanying transport operations that increase the efficiency and flexibility of production processes and supply logistics system. The characteristics of the original concept modular loading units in the form of intelligent reconfigurable trolleys are presented, with their construction and equipment description. [..] Read more
