MULTIMEDIA INTERFACE AS A SUPPORT TOOL FOR LOGISTICS DECISION-MAKING

Growing complexity of problems of logistics management in enterprises anddifferentiation of the used applications without common database force businesses tosearch for solutions which facilitate the processes of logistics decision-making. One ofthe concepts proposed in this chapter is a design of decision-maker/logistics interface.Firstly, technologies of corporate portals were described, being a basis for ergonomicand useful interface. Next the properties typical of functional multimedia interfaceadapted to the logistics decision-makers’ needs were listed. Further in the chapter,methodological assumptions for interface creation were made whereas the benefitsbrought by personalization of both form (in terms of topography, colours andarrangement of main components of the interface) and content were emphasized.corporate portal, dynamic internet applications, graphical user interface model;

IMPLEMENTING "GREEN" ELEMENTS INTO THE SUPPLY CHAIN - THE LITERATURE REVIEW AND EXAMPLES

Almost every operating enterprise in the market has the supply chain. Dependingon the size and nature of the enterprise, supply chain can take many forms, but the basicelements of each supply chain are as follows: suppliers, production and distribution togetherwith the common links between them. Now, in the consciousness of nearly every organizationthat works to market is the belief that one of the determinants of its continuous development isthe protection of the environment. Because of this, companies try, during their actions, tocause the least harm on natural environment. The following article presents the classic supplychain that occurs in manufacturing companies and how, the implementation of proposedsolutions into it, may bring the result that classic supply chain will become moreenvironmentally friendly and "green". Also , this article presents four companies operating invarious sectors of the economy, together with the actions taken by them to minimize theirnegative impact on the environment. Presented enterprises can serve as an example for othercompanies trying to enter the arrangements and procedures, whose main purpose is to protectthe environment by transforming their supply chain into Green supply chain.supply chain management, enterprises, green supply chain

DECISION SUPPORT AT THE LOGISTIC MANAGEMENT STRATEGY

Nowadays logistics more and more often becomes the strategic issue from thepoint of view the organization aiming at reaching success in lead of its activity. The standardprocess of strategic logistics planning and management is usually periodical and the chanceof cooperation with changes in the environment of the company is missing. The paperpresents the process of logistics planning and its integration with the decision support systembased on the hierarchic analytic process - AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process).logistics, logistic management, decision support system

SYSTEMS OF SUPPLY AND DISTRIBUTION IN LOGISTIC MANAGEMENT IN COMMERCE ENTERPRISES

One of the main tasks of commerce enterprises is active participation in thedistribution chain. This is related to striving at adjustment of the offer of the firm toconsumers’ demands.logistic management, supply, distribution

Business Relations in Reverse Logistics Outsourcing

Nowadays cost reduction is a fundamental strategy used in companies during fighting for survival, keeping or increase in sales levels and profits. More and more often observed tendency to concentrate commercial and production companies leads to rise of demand for outsourcing in a reverse logistics chain. In the paper Authors present concept of outsourcing in logistics processes, advantages of outsourcing in reverse logistics and types of relations between outsourcing partners as well as areas and stages of collaboration: engagement, improvement and communication

Problemi identitari della generazione delʼ 68 in Due di due di Andrea De Carlo

All’interno del problematico orizzonte postmoderno le idee che ambiscono a fornire una visione e una sistemazione generale delle osservazioni sul concetto di identità, hanno un rilievo essenziale. Il costruirsi del soggetto sin dall’inizio dipende dal sussistere della sua capacità a individuare le risposte agli interrogativi circa il senso e il valore etico della propria esistenza. L’inclinazione alla riflessione e la coscienza di sé comportano la condizione dell’essere umano che non si limita a vivere nell’istantaneità naturale, bensì i suoi comportamenti risultano sopraffatti dai meccanismi culturali e fattori interamente psicologici. Il sé, mediato dai significati e relazioni culturali ed introspettivi, dimostra dunque una precisa connotazione con le sfumature dell’inquietudine e della complessità legate all’andamento dell’incessante ricerca delle risposte1. E nonostante il disagio destato dall’ansia e insicurezza di vivere nella società sfuggente e mutevole, l’esperienza dell’uomo postmoderno necessita di essere indagata e interrogata
