Abstract: The primary tool allowing for the logistics costs record keeping is a well-functioning logistics costs account, which should be identified with a system allowing for determination of the level of costs incurred in connection with the implementation of logistics processes in a given unit of time. On the other hand, to be able to achieve the goals of the logistics costs account, the account should be available in many forms and sections. [..] Read more

Abstract: The concept of resilience is well developed as it has been studied extensively in last decade. The effort has been made to find ways to increase the supply chain resilience and thus to reduce an impact on supply chain long term performance. [..] Read more

Abstract: In the paper will be presented the way performing the studies, particularly the selection and characterization of the survey sample and the analytical scheme of research. The results of this study will enable to answer the following questions: whether the use of SS (single sourcing) increases the likelihood and consequences of disruption and whether SS has been applied in an appropriate way.

Abstract: Effective and appropriate management of customer relations in transport and forwarding companies is only possible today with wide use of the latest quality standards, whose role is becoming more and more important every day. More and more customers require flexibility, speed of action and comprehensive service from forwarders, from transporting any quantity of goods of different sizes, from and to different countries, through customs clearance, warehousing and distribution of shipments all over Poland.The article presents the results of surveys on cooperation in logistics channels and quality standards in the transport services market..

Abstract: The tools of the virtual reality are becoming more frequently used in planning, implementation as well as analysis of production processes. The simulation programmes which offer the possibilities of probable threats of negative impact on the production process allow the application of various corrective actions, which are about to improve the effectiveness of chosen systems and to implement priorities which are individually defined by a particular organisational entity.

Abstract: The main purpose of the paper is identify the key actions of servitising manufacturers in the supply chain market business-to-business context. The chosen method for this paper is an explorative, in-depth, single case study. [..] Read more

Abstract: The aim of the article is to demonstrate that logistics costs are a basic measure of the quantity and efficiency of logistics processes, and therefore their precise identification and detailed analysis are important. Logistics costs have a major impact on the overall performance of an of the enterprise's economic activity and on shaping the final financial result that determines the level of value added.The issue of logistics costs is one of the most difficult and complex problems, resulting from the extensive and blurred structure of these costs and the difficulty in identification.

Abstract: The world literature experiences the deficit of scientific publications illustrating the problems of humanitarian logistics from the perspective of regional association. Thus, the article refers to infrastructural aspects of humanitarian logistics development that are characterized by regional convergence. [..] Read more

Abstract: This paper presents an analysis of selected Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) reports published by companies operating in Poland to determine the existence and specificity of disclosures concerning the circular economy issues. In particular, the paper is focused on identification of qualitative and quantitative descriptions of material aspects and practices related to the 4R (Reduce, Reuse, Remanufacture and Recycle) model implemented to improve environmental performance of products and processes.

Abstract: A significant and often problematic part of a local road, while solving the traffic within the city area, is the capacity of the local roads. Capacity of a local road can be defined as the maximum number of vehicles that can pass per unit of time by a pursued rust, strip or lane of local road under the favorable driving conditions. [..] Read more

Abstract: Under the term “structure of logistic costs” percentage of individual cost items over the total costs is understood. The structure shows the dependence of particular cost elements on production volume. [..] Read more

Abstract: Modern production strategic goals all over the world are based on zero defect and safety first. Both are key factors to achieve high goodwill and therefore to gain sales force. [..] Read more

Abstract: The key point in global logistics is the integration between different sides in supply chains. Integration is indispensable not only between supply chain partners but also between intermediary logistics operators in these relations, which directly leads to increased operational efficiency and competitiveness for supply chain participants. [..] Read more

Abstract: The authors took a challenge to analyse the possibility of the application of a FMEA method for improving the efficacy of logistics operator’s activity, especially executed logistics processes. Searching for methods and tools for improving the efficiency of logistical processes requires both the development of new solutions and the appropriate modification of existing solutions. [..] Read more

Abstract: Implementation of the circular economy concept involves the need to close the loop of the product life cycles and requires extensive activities related to reverse logistics. Correct execution and efficiency evaluation of these actions require application of appropriate indicators and measures. [..] Read more

Abstract: Business co-operation is one of the ways in which companies perceive opportunities to improve their performance in reaching targets. One of them is the desire to increase the level of innovation of the co-operating entities, resulting in the creation and implementation of new product, process, organizational and marketing solutions.

Abstract: What is the purpose of actual SCM concepts such as LARG SCM, SCM 2.0, Supply Chain Becomes Demand Chain? Is it maximising profit, quality, lead time, market share? All these maxims are supported by reductionistic way of system thinking, which declares that the whole is just sum of its parts and the best way which could be done is maximising the output of particular parts. Holistic way of system thinking declares, that this assumption is the same mistake as to lean the ladder against the wrong wall. [..] Read more

Abstract: The article presents problem of sequencing multiversion car production. An issue of so-called Car Sequencing Problem, widely considered in the literature, is discussed. [..] Read more

Abstract: The Industry 4.0 concept is becoming increasingly popular. It gives the possibility of gaining a competitive advantage for the countries of the European Union. [..] Read more

Abstract: The article shows the idea of building the algorithm to examine the structure of marketing product categories, which could become the basis for shaping the logistics systems of distribution. In the face of changing needs of consumers as well as models of purchasing decisions, this approach may be an important factor in increasing the competitiveness of distribution companies.
