Abstract
The transport plays a growing role in the integrated logistics management of semifinished products and components flow. For manufacturing companies, it is important to maximize the use of production resources and optimize the process in terms of both production costs and time. The use of specific means of transport and correct organization of material flow are fundamental in order to assure continuity of production. The exemplary means of transport, their characteristics, and purpose are presented in this article. One of the elements included in the production systems and used to reduce the number of unplanned downtimes are warehouses. They may be small structures placed near workstations, storage buffers along the supply chain, or the separate buildings with a height up to several tens of meters. The choice of storage solution depends on both the profile of the industrial company and the destination of goods storage area. Due to highly complicated processes of warehouses design and management, the computer systems are currently used. These systems support the processes and allow to carry out necessary simulations. An example of using a support application, a discussion of the conducted simulations and analysis of result are presented in the final part of this paper.
