Abstract

The article deals with use of operational research methods in logistics field. Most frequently used methods within logistics are: theory of charts and grids, special methods to solve transportation tasks, distribution problems and naturally methods of mathematical programming (most often used is linear programming). Referred methods can significantly influence e.g. moodiness of production process at plant and improve management and planning of logistics processes. The article also emphasizes importance of acquaintance of operational research methods (operational research) as competitive advantage for university graduates, which become part of company management by accepting right decisions at industrial plants.

Keywords: operational research, operational research methods in logistics, distribution problems, linear programming, logistics processes
