In the present research paper some applied aspects of the problem for optimal positioning of units in logistics systems are examined, aiming minimizing the transportation costs in order to secure communication between units. The authors base the research on their former theoretical studies in which they propose different approaches for optimization based on the analytical geometry methods. On that base the units in the logistics systems are treated as points in Cartesian coordinate system and the coordinates of such points are determined for positioning the units with an aim to minimize the overall distances between the interconnected units with assuming some given constraints.
