Abstract

The authors discussed issues concerning the supply chain configuration of metallurgical products and its influence on the level of logistics customer service. The study was undertaken in a selected machine-building enterprise, a manufacturer of machinery and equipment for companies in a hard coal mining sector, to analyse factors determining logistics customer service. The study proved a magnificent importance of a supply chain configuration for the effective execution of logistics processes in make–to-order contracts realised by a selected company. The study indicates that in a competitive environment, further changes in a supply chain structure are crucial for the future of effective activity of an analysed company.

Keywords: Machine-building company, supply chain configuration, logistics customer service
