SOLUTIONS FOR THE DISASSEMLEY OF UNDEPLOYED AIRBAGS
Heiko Vesper
1
Since the resources of mankind are limited, the reusage of materials from obsolete products is necessary and gets more important day to day.
That is why the German government has decided to pass a specific law, called the "Kreislaufwirtschafts- und Abfallgesetz". This law forces the producers to take back and recycle theirs products, especially cars and their accessories. Today the cars are recycled through shredding. Beside many other problems at this, the airbags inside these cars are very problematic since they contain explosives. The manual disassembly of undeployed airbags is very dangerous. Therefore the only solution is the automatic disassembly.
This article will show a solution of disposal logistics, called "Airbagdemontagezelle ADZ 2007". It is a joint project with University of Applied Sciences Wildau, an engineering company for logistics located in Wildau, Projektlogistik GmbH and a mechanical engineering company RASOMA Werkzeugmaschinen GmbH.

LOCATION OF STOCKS IN DISTRIBUTION NET
Stanisław Krzyżaniak
1
The aim of developing a distribution network by a trade company, is to provide its customers with a better access to the offered goods. Moving stock of goods closer to the market, by deploying it in regional warehouses decreases lead times, but on the other hand leads to higher cost of carrying safety stock. Generally, the policy concerning stock deployment is not homogeneous for all items. The paper presents two different ways of deployment: in a central warehouse or in a network of regional warehouses. In practice the decision is taken intuitively. For example slow moving and expensive items are placed in central warehouse, while safety stock of fast movers is dispersed and located in Regional Warehouses. In the paper some cost models are developed. They also allow for in-depth analysis of how different identified factors influence the result and decision to be taken.

SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT INSIDE COMPANY VALUE SYSTEM
Bogusław Śliwczyński
1
The comprehension of business processes interactions along supply chain is an important factor to succeed in the fast changing and competitive business arena. From competitive point of view there are some critical issues for companies in every day activity: the pressure to reduce overall supply chain costs, exploiting company's assets more effectively, more effective cooperation with trading partners and improving service level of customer. Those issues are the main goal of supply chain's control at first step and managing value of product in supply chain at second step. The ability to create and increase product value in supply chain depends on the ability to control it.
The analytical data of a value chain analytical data provides companies with insights into their total product cost and profit behaviour. Logistics strategy controlling that bases on value measures of supply chain has its consequences in activity managment and assets allocation according to the guidelines of four BSC perspectives. Planning of cooperation in a supply chain is a business strategy issue that should base on value chain analysis.
The value chain analysis is used to identify the possible sources of improved performance. The management of mutually related business processes is supported by SCM (Supply Chain Management) integrated information system.
Applying a progressive approach to cost measurement of the value chain in company's integrated value system also brings a better understanding of their customers' cost, suppliers, products and processes as they move through procurement, production or distribution chain.
This paper focuses on the benefits of supply chain management inside company's integrated value.

SIMULATION OF LOGISTICS PROCESSES (SIMPROCESS)
Bartłomiej Rodawski
1
The ability to identify and control business processes that cut across functions and organizations has become a new imperative, especially in logistics. Process approach in management forces implementation of appropriate tools. The most sophisticated of available tools is a computerized simulation. The main goal of this paper is to present the issue of building a model that reflects the real business process, as well as simulating the behavior of that model in order to draw conclusions about effectiveness and efficiency of a real business process

The cooperative project "Sustainable Management of Mixed Oak-Pine-Forest Stands in the Sub continental North-eastern German Lowlands (Oak Chain)" estimates technical, economical and ecological aspects of Mixes Oak-Chain-Forest Stands. The conversion of pine monocultures into mixed oak and pine stands entails an adaptation of the entire wood supply chain. The sub-project OPERA, which is managed by TFH Wildau, develops new methods for the transport logistics from forest to production site. Key aspects of activity are the navigation and positioning with RFID-technology and the optimization of the transport organization and the flow of information.

DELIVERY ORGANIZATION TO TRADING NETWORKS. COOPERATION BETWEEN MANUFACTURERS AND BIG RETAILERS
Agnieszka Tubis
1
Recently observing trading networks in Poland we can see that the role of this kind of companies has magnified. Dynamic increase of trade turnover has also influenced the relationship between trading networks and manufacturers. For the producers of fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) trading companies organized as networks has become their main distribution channel. Their share in the segment of retailer sales is so large that a FMCG manufacturer who doesn't cooperate with the trading network takes a great risk of his further existence in the market. Other manufacturers have also noticed great significance of good relationships with trading networks. Many of them create special sections only responsible for core customers' service that are mainly trading companies. The article presents examples of network customers' service in manufacturers operating in various lines of business.
