The process of globalization influenced multinational companies' production concentration
into fewer locations. Market has demanded a new global logistics strategy. Since the end of 1980s
global firms have been steadily reducing their number of national warehouses, consolidating them
into regional distribution centres that serve a much wider geographical area. Logistics centers are
challenged to otfer market a competitive and high quality categories of functions, enlarge their
profitability, and limit environmental interference of their activities.
ln this paper it is proposed a division of logistic centers in multiple categories, namely,
starting from the realistic situation where the logistic centers stand today, imposes the need to
explore the fort and consistent criteria for their categorization.
The aim of the research is to determine logistics centres concept pointing at their need for
categorization and to point out or to frame the benefits of logistics centre categorization.
Conclusion of proposed article will be analysis of logistics centre benefits which will certainly atfect
the change in the structure and organization of logistic centres that by improving the quality of
operations and services achieve market competitive advantage.

Paper submitted the evaluation of the railway stations by the multi criterions evaluation.
The resulting indicator is characterized station as weight point in the valuation graph. The
evaluation of stations is a very important element in determining investment in technical equipment
stations using technology for time-discrete train formation on railway network.

Koziol, Jaroslav
This paper deals with loading problems and optimization of usage of loading space.
It is impossible to solve the Bin Packing problem with exact methods. Heuristic methods
provide no quality solutions or they are not generally applicable due to their specializations. New
approach for solving the Bin Packing Problem is designed so. It allows achieving good-quality
solutions and the significant expansion of the problem model by practical restrictive conditions with
use of machine learning.

Branská, Lenka
Companies' tendency to base the competitive advantage on speed and flexibility of
satisfying the customers' needs lead to inter-company linkage of material flows and establishing of
supply chains. To increase their efficiency, it is then possible to realize supply chain management
on the basis of the Quick Response method. This shall allow radical increase of the value provided
to the customers, and that is without automatic pressure on cost increase. QR-based realization of
supplies undoubtedly requires adjusting of the primary processes which directly participate in
providing the value (sale, production and purchase). It is, however, necessary to adjust also other
processes, i.e. those that support the value-creating process. One of the processes the efficiency of
which pivotally affects successfulness of the value-creating process is transport. Application of the
QR method invokes changes in realization of transport operations under own company transport
but it may also significantly affect the way of business relations setting with transport intermediaries
(as agent, broker) or, as the case may be, with the independent forwarding companies themselves.
Their involvement in the QR-based supply chain management must, however, be such that it would
make the value increase not only for the company but to the both partners. The article describes
impacts of the Quick Response method application in the company in realization of transport
operations.
