Abstract: Within the vast development of globalization, companies are encouraged to increase competitiveness level, in order to survive in the market. One certain way to stay competitive and retain customers is to provide such products with reasonable selling prices. Supply chain costs have a great influence upon the cost of the final product; therefore, companies are suggested to continuously improve supply chain processes regarding reducing overall costs. One industry indicated with high supply chain costs is the fertilizer industry, referring to the fact that it has a nationwide distribution system. For countries which regulate fertilizer as a subsidized product, companies must be able to provide fertilizer at an efficient price to maintain prevalence in the market. Currently, the problem faced by one of the fertilizer companies is an indication of expensive logistics costs for fertilizer distribution outside Java. The most expensive logistics costs are owned by the Medan area with variations in bulk transportation. This problem can be solved if there are alternative economic scenario designs in accordance with capabilities. The purpose of this research is to provide alternative scenarios, simulate those scenarios, and choose the most efficient scenario. The method used in this research is system dynamics and 12 scenarios were generated in this paper. Selection of the appropriate ship size and type of heavy equipment for loading and unloading cargo from those scenarios can impact in energy saving/fuel consumption and minimize operational costs. Beside cost, fertilizer deficit is also a consideration in scenario selection. From the result, scenario 3 has the lowest distribution costs with a total cost is Rp. 241,513 and the total fertilizer deficit is 0 tons, so scenario 3 is the selected alternative scenario to minimize operational cost.

Abstract: Companies that function in market economy must unconditionally focus on a client and his/her needs in order to build its competitive advantage. In the logistic dedicated bibliography it is defined that the client orientation starts from identification of his/her needs and on this basis the activities to fulfil them are pursuit, and finishes on after-purchase-satisfaction judgment.The article presents the problem of the analysis of qualification processes of metallurgy sector suppliers.

Abstract: The paper deals with the structure of the planning process of complex magnesite processing, where capacity planning and scheduling of production constitutes an important and essential component of the management process of the production of products throughout their life cycle.

Abstract: Logistics, as a scientific discipline, used to be oriented till lately on distribution of finished products from producer site to consumer sector, and this fact has reflected even in modeling and simulation approach. Simulation models of Healthcare Services, and generally services, can be considered as innovative procedures and till lately were not as widely described as for example typical material flow in manufacture. However, base knowledge that inheres in production simulation models can be applied at building of services simulation models.

Abstract: Based on the current status of logistics management information system, this paper puts forward an information management system based on small and medium-sized logistics enterprises. This system is implemented by using mature J2EE open source technology, and it is simple, low maintenance cost, has strong scalability and high practical value.

Abstract: Good management is the process of finding permanent solutions to the dilemma of balance and achieving effectiveness and efficiency, differentiation and low costs, financial goals and long-term vision, consistency and flexibility. Modern approach corporate governance requires a new understanding of management in relation to one of its internal and external elements. The paper deals with the application of the Theory of Constraints in the environment of Supply Chain. The main goal is to present the Theory of Constraints approach with basic five steps focusing process in the area of the supply chain management. Specifically it shows how the TOC can be used in many others areas of application.

Abstract: Solution of problems in the field of ecology and environment has an important place at the state level, but also at the level of civil initiatives and individuals. It is in the result of increasing limitedness of natural resources and environmental consciousness. Eco-logistics is important effective tool which is the object of study, discussions of many experts in logistics, because it provides a wide scope of application. The main mission of eco-logistics is underling the importance of production processes, services and other activities connected with logistics impact on the environment. Suitable way of eco-logistics implementation creates conditions for logistics costs reduction and also for natural resources and environment saving. The paper presents new approach to eco-logistics and its new definition.

Abstract: Logistics support is essential for armed forces in terms of successful accomplishment of tasks. It is a process which consists in providing supplies, which include armament and military equipment as well as combat and material assets The article presents the general principles of NATO logistics, basic terms and definitions, logistic support issues and logistic systems in the Polish Armed Forces.

Abstract: Industrial and commercial risks associated with the production, supply and commercialization of products and services provided by enterprise have effect not only on the enterprise run and its profitability, but in the extreme cause also on the viability and by that on the future of entire enterprise. Risk conditions create an assumption of enterprise crises which must be prevented.

Abstract: The article deals with a matter of principle logistics as a scientific discipline, its location in scientific area and its relation to other fields of science. Defines logistics as part of cybernetics and characterizes the basic criteria for the existence of research disciplines and they are: feed forward system, system approach, principles and tools of logistic, objects of logistics – flows and chains, control variables and optimization criteria.
