This paper presents the transport of Volvo parts from the factory, using different modes of transport and their combinations, to the capital of Croatia. Europe’s transport network is diverse. From various inland waterways, a dense network of roads as well as railways, there is a plentiful number of ways the cargo can be transported. In this article, a few routes will be analysed also as transportation costs and travel time. By taking into account new technologies and opportunities presented by them, a more time-saving and efficient way of transporting goods will be presented. The calculations were made using various programs that allow us an in-depth view of individual branches of transportation.

The fast business development in supply chains requires quick and responsive data exchange without the possibility of modification between all included entities. With providing a single version of transactions, blockchains provide the visibility that all entities in the chain need to make better decisions throughout the lifecycle of the product, ensure trust for suppliers and buyers that products are authentic and improve efficiency through automation. In this brief overview, the possibility of removing one intermediary party in the logistics processes of the largest Croatian retailer is considered for the purpose of protecting master data and maintaining the level of confidentiality between suppliers, providers and customers. In this process, the intermediary is replaced with EDI translators based on blockchain technology that receive data from suppliers and buyers, standardize them and enable faster and unaltered flow of information. Based on standardized messages derived from orders, documents such as delivery notes and invoices are generated directly, and then forwarded to the right party in the chain. In this paper, master data of a specific product is analyzed for which the demand increased significantly during the Covid-19 pandemic. The product is a disinfectant gel distributed by mentioned retailer. Distribution of such product requires express and capillary delivery, which also means a large number of supporting documents distributed to a large number of customers. With the application of blockchain technology, it is easier to distribute documents and billing. There are also possibilities to complement the master data with information on product composition, allergens, shelf life, and all with insight into one standardized message. With protected flow of information between suppliers and customers, the possibility of human errors resulting in goods returns and additional costs, is fully reduced or eliminated.

This paper outlines findings of the case study on the courier company which distributes parcels on the territory of the Republic of Croatia. The work performance indicators which are analysed show inconsistency of the workload in the last mile delivery, as the result of the existing model of regionalization. The improvement proposal refers to introducing a model of dynamic regionalization and respective vehicle routing. It enables optimal logistic resources allocation, in order to increase the service level and to rationalize operating costs.

Nowadays there are increased demands and orders for the distribution of goods, especially in urban areas due to constant population growth. Distribution of goods, which is mainly carried out by road transport in urban areas, results in traffic congestion, noise, emissions and harmful traffic generated by delivery vehicles. This paper deals with the topic of new trends in city logistics and distribution of goods in urban areas. New technologies, such as electric vehicles, contribute to the optimization of city logistics. Possible application of electric vehicles in city logistics is shown in the example of the city of Zagreb.

In order for business organizations to meet the increasing expectations of users, a quality transport organization is one of the most important factors in the overall process chain and cost optimization. The service user wants a quality, favorable and fast service and therefore it is extremely important to rationalize the transportation. One of the ways to make the service faster, cheaper and better in implementing the technological process is by using mathematical models and software routing tools. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the different ways of determining the route and how they affect the overall delivery process of delivery to the ultimate recipient in the urban area. Concrete comparisons, along with certain route parameters, will also show the delivery results

External costs in transportation present an all the more present problem that requires actions for reduction. With that in mind this paper gives a comparative look into the differences between intermodal and road transport in terms of external costs. It gives an insight into the contributing factors of intermodal transport external costs.

Risks represent a number of possible unwanted events that require a plan and control activity in case of such events. The need for risk management at present is an essential component of enterprise management. In all industries, as well as in supply chain management, there are many potential risks due to the complexity of the organizational structure of the supply chain. One of the most important reasons for the development of risk management in supply chains is globalization. Globalization coupled the various markets, and the distance between the consumption and production space suddenly increased (unlike before when the places of consumption and production were closer which meant fewer risks). Furthermore, globalization marked the need to engage more participants in the supply chain, which exponentially increased the risks. This paper mentions some of the frameworks for risk management and the methods of risk control and avoidance.

The study analyzes the current situation of the transport system in the Republic of Croatia. It points to the trends in the transport system and the shortcomings that negatively affect the system optimization. Under the direction of the European Union, the Republic of Croatia is developing a strategy to improve the transport system using modern transport technologies, particularly intermodal technology, and analyzing risks in the transport chain. It is made an example of a non-existing concession that could contribute to the development of intermodal transport, and consequently quality of the transportation system.

Većina logističkih problema koji se pojavljuju u planiranju i upravljanju logističkim procesima opskrbnoga lanca mogu se svesti na probleme optimiranja, koji se efikasno rješavaju primjenom matematičkih metoda odnosno modela. U tom smislu obrađeni su primjeri osnovnih logističkih problema, pri čemu su razvijeni odgovarajući matematički modeli i proveden postupak optimiranja primjenom programskoga alata.

Satisfying vehicle demand of rent-a-car network branches is a complex and time consuming task, which can be facilitated by applying linear programing mathematical model. The goal is to obtain the optimal solution of vehicle allocation, by satisfying demand at minimum costs. With reference to that, the objective function is defined as minimal total distance for vehicles transfers, where distance in kilometers represent cost to be minimized. The optimal solution can be achieved by applying linear programing mathematical model. The implementation of the model is outlined on real-life cases, which are analyzed and compared in order to quantify the improvements.

Because of the growing competition on the global market and more complex customers’ requirements logistic companies must constantly improve their operations and create competitive advantages. In a cross-docking facility goods are moved by forklift from incoming truck platforms (strip doors) to temporary holding areas and then to outgoing truck platforms (stack doors) or directly from strip to stack doors. Optimal cross-dock door assignment can improve the performance of the cross-docking facility. The cross-dock door assignment can be optimized by applying linear programming mathematical model. The methodology is outlined on a practical example of an I-shaped cross-dock facility, where the mathematical model was used to minimize the transport distances that forklifts pass within the facility. The optimization of the mathematical model was performed by software tool.

Monitoring and management of complex logistics processes could not be realized without appropriate information and communications systems. A well-structured and technically safe information flow of valid data has come to form an essential element for designing and extending materials-flow systems. Radio frequency identification technology (RFID) plays an important role in supporting logistics and supply chain processes due to their ability to identify, trace and track information throughout the supply chain. The paper focuses on the technical characteristics of RFID systems, their opportunities, challenges, barriers and standards. Furthermore, the paper discusses the results of RFID application in the realization of logistics processes. The main goal of the paper is to stimulate further interest in this area by providing a comprehensive review of RFID application, which will be a good resource for researches interested in the RFID systems.

Today’s transport of goods has renaissance in using again railway as part of transport chain. In the past because of inert railway the very big amounts of goods go to road transport. Of course, in these days, it is very ecologically to do modal shift from road to railway. Therefore, the railway is again one of the key player in transport chain. Supply chain management is integrated approach for solving all movements of good form point of origin to point of destination. Specially, last five years is very intensive research and use of supply chain management. Normally, every transport have last and first mile, so it is very pragmatic to optimize this step in whole transport chain. With the greater role of railway in whole supply chain management the last mile become very significant. In today’s railway, last mile is on more than 85% of transport goods on railway industrial track. Therefore, it is very important to optimize every aspect of using railway industrial track. Key aspects are (1) legal, (2) organizational, (3) technical, (4) technological and (5) economic. All those five aspects are crucial for using of railway industrial track as the part of supply chain management. In this article, it will be present case study of using the railway industrial track in Croatia and interaction and optimization of key aspects.

Sažetak: Zahtjevi korisnika usluga na suvremenom tržištu logističkih usluga zahtijevaju promjene razine kvalitete usluge. Razina kvalitete logističkih usluga najviše je vezane uz materijalne tokove, koji trebaju biti usklađeni i podržani informacijskim tokovima. Nadalje, promjene kao što su: globalizacija tržišta, dislokacija proizvodnje, deregulacija u prometu i razvitak informacijskih tehnologija, bitno su utjecale na tržišnu konkurentnost. Kvaliteta kao znanost i kao praktično djelovanje predstavlja resurs koji može doprinjeti konkurentnosti i održivom razvoju logističkog sustava kao glavnog nositelja logističkih usluga. Kako bi logističko poduzeće moglo imati valjan sustav upravljana kvalitetom nužno je planirati, upravljati i kontrolirati zahtijevane logističke performanse. Kontroling planira logističke performanse, upravlja, kontrolira i na kraju šalje informacije koje, u konačnici, sudjeluju u kreiranju izmjena u logističkim sustavima te time dobiva ulogu regulatora logističkog sustava. Summary: Customer requirements in the modern market of logistic services request changes of service quality levels. Quality level of logistics service is most related to the flows of material that need to be harmonized and supported by the information flows. Onwards, changes such as: market globalisation, production dislocation, traffic deregulation and IT development, significantly influenced the market competitiveness. Quality as a science and as an activity is resource that needs to contribute the competitiveness and sustainability of logistics system as a main holder of logistics services. In order to logistics Company that might have a valid quality management system is necessary to plan, to manage and to control requested logistics performance. Controlling plans logistics performance, managed, controlled and at the end sends information that ultimately participates in creation of logistics system changes and thus gets the role of logistics system regulator.

Integrated passenger transport represents a logistic platform for optimal management of the population mobility using public transport. The population mobility is becoming more and more difficult first of all because of uncontrolled growth of individual road transport, particularly in the area of cities and city rings. Integrated passenger transport enables optimal meeting of the transport demand and supply and thus represents sustainable traffic system from the aspect of economy, ecology, and physical planning. The paper presents the characteristics of integrated passenger transport, then the model of logistic integrated passenger transport and the case study of integrated passenger transport in the City of Varaždin.

Zračni kargo promet u svijetu vjerni je odraz kretanja globalne ekonomije, osobito trgovine. U ukupnom kargo zračnom prometu Hrvatske udio Zračne luke Zagreb (ZLZ) prosječno godišnje veći je od 85% za razdoblje od 1993. do 2010. godine. Na ZLZ dominira međunarodni kargo promet s 84, 19% što znači da je ZLZ pretežito međunarodna kargo zračna luka. U razdoblju 2001. do 2010. godine 70, 23% međunarodnoga kargo prometa ZLZ ostvareno je u dolasku/uvozu. Istovremeno 95, 05% domaćega zračnog kargo prometa čini promet sa ZLZ prema Dubrovniku i Splitu. Udio transfernoga kargo prometa ZLZ čini 0, 59% ukupnoga međunarodnog prometa, što znači da ZLZ trenutno nije regionalno čvorište (hub) zračnoga kargo prometa jugoistočne Europe. Cilj ovog rada je analiza trenutačnog stanja prometa tereta u zračnom prometu RH odnosno prijedlog mogućih perspektiva razvoja poslovnog modela usmjerenog prema intermodalnosti kao podršci razvoja kargo prometa.

Zračni promet tereta (Cargo) u svjetskim relacijama nije značajan količinski, ali vrijednosno predstavlja 35% ukupnog Cargo svjetskog prometa. To iznosi oko 60 milijardi US$ financijske realizacije. Direktno ili indirektno zračni Cargo promet osigurava oko 32 milijuna radnih mjesta u svijetu. Sve to čini ga značajnim segmentom svjetske ekonomije. Zračna luka Zagreb (ZLZ) dugoročno ostvaruje preko 85% ukupnog zračnog Cargo prometa Hrvatske. To znači da je odgovornost za razvoj ovog segmenta zračnog prometa na ZLZ. Sukladno tome ZLZ je utvrdila tri strateške smjernica razvoja ovog segmenta poslovanja: 1) razvoj tehnologije, 2) razvoj mreže redovitih zrakoplovnih linija iz/za Zagreb i 3) razvoj infrastrukture. U ovom radu težište je na prikazu mogućnosti osiguravanja treće strateške smjernice, razvoju infrastrukture, što se želi riješiti kroz realizaciju projekta Zagreb Airport Cargo City (ZACCP).

Road Congestion is self regulating ; those who place a high value on making their journey at peak times will be prepared to pay the waiting costs and will travel at those times. Others, will value peak-time travel less, will only drive at off-peak times when the waiting costs are less. The problem of road congestion is therefore self-equilibrating and does not warrant economic intervention. This paper will present roads congestion as a problem of City Logistics with possible solution as implementing fee for the use of transport infrastructure.

SAŽETAK Proces globalizacije, koji se odvija u svijetu, nameće potrebu da se pod utjecajem razvitka svjetskoga gospodarstva i društva, uklanjaju trgovinske barijere, te jačaju međunarodne, svjetske konkurencije, tehnologije, povećavaju se pojedina tržišta na mnogo široj razini od nacionalnih. Zadaća logističkih sustava je omogućiti kompanijama kombiniranje domaćih i međunarodnih resursa na način koji će omogućiti efikasnu i efektivnu realizaciju njihovih poslovnih rezultata unutar globalnog prometnoga, logističkog i gospodarskog sustava. Tako ustrojeni logistički sustavi povećavaju značaj zračnog prometa kako u nacionalnim tako i u međunarodnim okvirima. Tijekom posljednjega desetljeća 20. stoljeća brojni aspekti primjene logistike dobili su na značaju dajući logističkim sustavima specifičnu težinu. Jedan od aspekata koji dobiva na važnosti jeste da se logistika ne bavi samo problematikom nacionalnih i međunarodnih logističkih sustava, već sve više i problematikom globalizacije i globalnih logističkih sustava. Logističke odluke sve se više temelje na kvantitativnom pristupu. Logistika se izučava i kao aktivnost i kao znanost. Intelektualni kapital, informacijske i komunikacijske tehnologije čine temelj logističkih lanaca i na njima utemeljenih logističkih mreža, zbog toga se sve više govori o virtualnoj logističkoj mreži (business web), ili b-web. Pored Interneta koji služi kao infrastruktura virtualne logističke mreže, sastavnim dijelom infrastrukture virtualne logističke mreže treba promatrati i logističke operatore bez kojih uspostavljanje takvih mreža ne bi imalo smisla, niti bi one mogle funkcionirati na primjeren način. Porast intelektualnog kapitala, informatizacija globalnih logističkih lanaca i nastanak globalnih logističkih operatora dovest će u 21. stoljeću do razvijanja veće partnerske suradnje, ali i do smanjivanja broja aktivnih sudionika u logističkim lancima. Danas je trend u zračnom prometu udruživanje i suradnja zračnih kompanija, uvođenje u putnički zračni promet velikih luksuznih aviona, prebacivanje kratko linijskog putničkog prometa na brze željeznice ili autoputove, intenzivan razvoj prijevoza brzih pošiljki za prijevoz posebnih proizvoda, zrakoplovi postaju putujuća skladišta u globalnoj raspodjeli dobara i proizvodnje. Sa svi ovih aspekata u ovoj disertaciji analiziraju se mogućnosti i perspektive zračnog prometa u Republici Hrvatskoj. U disertaciji istražene su karakteristike i specifičnosti zračnog prometa s osvrtom na logistiku u zračnom prometu. Pokazano je kako operacijska istraživanja nude za rješavanje problema racionalizacije mreže logističkih centara u zračnom prometu sljedeće metode: minimalnog stabla (minimal spanning tree technique), maksimalnog toka (maximal flow technique) i najkraćeg puta (shortest route tichnique). Načinjen je matematički model ekspres pošte s više lokalnih centara i jednim glavnim distribucijskim centrom, što odgovara prijedlogu da Zagrebačka zračna luka postane glavni regionalni distribucijski centar s nizom lokalnih centara. Modificiran je klasični matematički model transporta uvođenjem novih ograničenja. Analiziran je stupanj razvijenosti mreže logističkih centara zračnog prometa Republike Hrvatske. Razrađen je višekriterijski model racionalizacije mreže logističkih centara u zračnom prometu Republike Hrvatske. Definirani su kriteriji: povećanje robnog prometa, povećanje usluga koje pružaju zračne luke RH, konkurentnost na srednjim i dugim linijama, podizanje razine informatizacije prometnih procesa i poslovanja, podizanje razine si°urnosti i zaštite u zračnom prometu RH, značajnije uključivanje u ekspres poštu. Načinjena je anketa u kojoj su na temelju postavljenog cilja i definiranih kriterija navedene alternative: prva alternativa- postavljanje glavnog distribucijskog centra u Zagrebu s težnjom da postane regionalni centar, druga alternativa- glavni distribucijski centar u Zagrebu i dva lokalna distribucijska centra, treća- podizanje razine infrastrukture i suprastrukture, četvrta- povećanje kapaciteta, peta- uvođenje novih informatičkih tehnologija, šesta - podizanje razine tehnike i organizacije sigurnosti i zaštite, sedma- povećanje razine stručnosti osoblja zračnog prometa RH, osma alternativa- dovođenje ekoloških mjera u prihvatljive granice. Obavljeno je anketiranje kompetentnih stručnjaka zračnog prometa koji su Saaty-evom skalom ocjenjivali omjere važnosti kriterija i alternativa. Metodom najmanjeg koeficijenta konzistencije odabrana je anketa koja najbolje reprezentira odgovore iz skupa prikupljenih anketa. Nakon obrade podataka dobiveni su ukupni prioriteti alternativa. Za ostvarenje cilja racionalizacije mreže logističkih centara u zračnom prometu Republike Hrvatske najveći prioritet ima peta alternativa- uvođenje novih informatičkih tehnologija 0, 225, zatim druga-glavni distribucijski centar u Zagrebu i dva lokalna distribucijska centra 0, 151. Znanstveni doprinos: Kvantitativna formulacija problema racionalizacije mreže logističkih centara u zračnom prometu Republike Hrvatske. Matematički pristup racionalnom izboru alternativa za postavljeni cilj i kriterije. Obavljeno samostalno istraživanje i prikupljanje podataka za primjenu analitičko hijerarhijskih metoda u procesu odlučivanja racionalizacije logističkih lanaca u zračnom prometu. Definirana je mreža logističkih centara u okviru koje se uz pomoć operacijskih istraživanja mogu rješavati pojedini problemi planiranja i racionalizacije logističkih sustava. Razrađeni originalni algoritmi za rješavanje niza pojedinačnih problema optimalizacije na logističkoj mreži zračnog prometa.

Naveden je pokušaj iterativnog planiranja aktivnosti koje podlježu diskretnim etapiranjem sveobuhvatnog procesa. Korištene su ideje procjenjivanja induktivnim metodama na prihvatljiv i razumljiv način. Pretpostavke u čijim okvirima se radi vrlo su zahtjevne, no i neophodne radi linearnog pojednostavljenja slučaja.

Zbornik obuhvaća pregled radova iz područja željezničkog transporta koji su predstavljeni na istoimenoj konferenciji.

Logistički pristup u prometu znači novu poslovnu politiku, ekonomiju i vlasništvo, novu internu organizaciju, vanjsku i internu komunikaciju, drugu korporacijsku kulturu, upravljanje ljudskim resursima, znanstvenim metodama, osposobljavanje i obrazovanje, promjenjen tip rukovođenja i nagrađivanja, informatička znanja, komunikacijske vještine, elektroničko poslovanje i drugo. Brze tehnološke i društvene promjene zahtijevaju neprestano usavršavanje i dopunjavanje stručnih znanja te usvajanje novih znanstvenih metoda i vještina. To je bio osnovni cilj organizatora 1. Međunarodnog znanstvenog simpozija LOMI 2014.

Hibrid (lat. Hybrida ; eng. Hybrid) je riječ koja izvorno označava potomstvo od dvije životinje ili biljke različitih rasa, pasmina, sorti, vrsta ili rodova. Može označavati osobu u čijoj je pozadini mješavina od dvije ili više različitih kultura i tradicijom, a u tehnički sklop koji ima dvije različite vrste komponenti koje u suštini vrše zajedničku funkciju. Tako, svako vozilo koje za svoj pogon koristi više od jednoga izvora snage nazivamo hibridnim vozilom. Uobičajeno je da hibridno vozilo u svojoj pogonskoj strukturi sadrži dva minimalno motora od kojih je jedan motor sa unutarnjim izgaranjem, a drugi elektromotor ili hidraulički motor, no može ih biti i više. Zbog toga je hibridno vozilo prilično složeni sustav koji omogućuje da pojedine komponente pogona rade u najpovoljnijem režimu rada odnosno s najvišom korisnosti, te je time omogućena značajna ušteda goriva i smanjena emisija štetnih plinova. Iako je hibridno vozilo patentirano još krajem 19. st. Njegov je razvoj započeo krajem 20. st. kada je cijena nafte počela značajnije rasti, te kada se ukazalo na problem ograničenosti Zemljine naftne zalihe te rasta razine ugljičnog dioksida u atmosferi što utječe na klimu (globalno zatopljenje). Značajnijem razvoju hibridnih vozila pomogao je i razvoj mikroračunala i energetske elektronike što su vrlo bitne komponente u upravljanju pogonom hibridnog vozila.

This paper presents the mathematical model of calculating the profit of a parking lot based on counting of the parked vehicles in pre-given intervals. The number of parked vehicles is usually obtained from the recorded video surveillance that need not include all parking places so that in the second section of the paper an application of the regression analysis is presented which estimates and calculates the total number of parked vehicles on the entire parking lot based on the recorded number of parked vehicles on one part of the observed parking lot.

This paper describes through several examples the latest logistic strategies in container shipping transport. When speaking of logistic strategies one actually speaks about the engagement of the leading world line operators in the logistic sector, i.e. about logistic services that are offered om the liner shipping market. It has been described in which way and how much the container shipping companies integrate logistics for the realization of the strategic goals and how much they are aware of the correlation between the logistics and the liner service. It can be seen that big companies develop their logistic strategies in the areas of economic development in order to strengthen the connections of liner services. The current projects of the biggest container shipping companies have been analyzed with the consideration of their logistic subsidiaries.

Ovisnost proizvodnje materijalnih dobara o stupnju optimizacije logističkih procesa sveukupnog opskrbnog lanca, implicira adekvatnost logistike za primjenu filozofija, metoda i alata poboljšanja procesa poput koncepta Lean i Six Sigma. U središtu nove paradigme kvalitete je kupac i njegov stav spram kvalitete. Zato se sva poboljšanja u organiziranom sustavu moraju usmjeriti prema kupcu. Lean Six Sigma filozofija kontinuirano poboljšava procese i proizvode donoseći kupcima sve veću vrijednost za novac. Cilj ovog rada je povezati Lean i Six Sigma načela s logističkim funkcijama i procesima, te ukazati na smjernice za uspješnu provedbu organizacijskih promjena neophodnih kod uvođenja novih načina rada. Pritom bi trebalo dati jednostavan pregled spoznaja i metodologija pomoću kojih logističari mogu uspješno smanjiti gubitke, upravljati zalihama, dizajnirati učinkovitije procese i uspješno provesti organizacijske promjene koje će podržavati željena poboljšanja.
