Multi-Criteria Evaluation – A Tool for the Selection of Steel Wire Rope

The paper gives an example of selecting a suitable type of steel wire rope for selected transport device. The selection of steel wire rope was performed by selected method on the basis of multi-criteria evaluation. The criteria for evaluation of selected types of ropes were chosen in the way to take account of ropes parameters and the operating conditions of the transport device.

Application of logistics principles in management of travel agency

The contribution is focused on the application of logistic management algorithms for travel agency sector. In the introduction the contribution explains the current state of the problem. As a methodology there is flash analysis, systems analysis and micro logistics analysis. The flash analysis points to the current position of the company on the local market, localisation, its products, customers, competitors, mission, vision and strategic goals for the future. System analysis shows ongoing systems in the company. Results of the contribution show to algorithms of major processes in the company and micro logistic model of the company. As a result of contribution measures are proposed, as for example a new website, modern reservation system and booking-accounting system.

The Possibility of Products Consumption Forecasting Having a Seasonal Character in Ensurance of Steel Wire Ropes Maintenance

The paper introduces the possibility of consumption forecasting of certain products, having a kind of seasonal character in connection with the maintenance of steel wire ropes. Forecasting of seasonality is calculated using a combination of two different methods - the method of hidden periods to find out the periodicity of seasonality and the regression analysis to identify trends. It is assumed that seasonality in consumption of certain products, such as lubricants, becomes evident by preparations of mountain towing and transportation equipment for winter season.

The Map of Logistics Technologies Used in Corporate Logistics

Corporate logistics a major tool used to facilitate corporate goals. By definition it is a set of tasks, arranged in a way that promotes optimum material, information and value flow during the transformation process. As the above definition implies, the corporate logistics provides visualization of material flow throughout the corporation. Whereas the planning defines what will be produced, the actual production defines the production means. In contrast, the logistics provides for means and measures to ensure production preparedness, providing not only for the actual production of goods but also for a timely and effective information flow in order to achieve optimum balance of all flows in support of corporate objectives.
