ABSTRACT
The logistics is defined as the part of the supply chain process that plans, implements and controls the efficient, effective flow and storage of goods, services and related information from the point of origin to the point of consumption in order to meet customers’ requirements (Ballou 2004). Logistics exists in two general forms, which are similar: military and managerial logistics. The first one (defense approach) is concerned with movement of goods and people, while the second one concentrates primarily on finished products. Both of them are the part of some supply chain (SC), which encompasses all activities associated with flow and transformation of goods from the raw materials stage through to the end user, as well as the associated information flow (Nowakowski 2006). Thus the efficiency of a supply chain depends on its logistics system. This fact induced researchers to look for methods of logistic process assessment.
