“…One primary concern of SCM is the optimisation of the production-distribution network that must be accomplished in an integrated fashion (Fahimnia, Molaei, and Ebrahimi 2011;Kazemi, Fazel Zarandi, and Moattar Husseini 2009). For an MNE, the integration should not only consider the incorporation of suppliers, transport providers, production and assembly facilities, outbound logistics, distributors and retailers, but it should also explicitly address the impacts of exchange rates, tariffs, quotas, regional regulations, and financing of operations on the global SC integration.…”

Motivated by a real world supply chain planning problem, this paper examines the impacts of exchange rate volatility and different shipping pricing structures on the overall performance for a multinational enterprise (MNEs). A unified optimisation model is developed that minimises the major costs incurred in an MNE, incorporating important factors such as manufacturing localisation, exchange rates, and quantity-based shipping pricing structures offered by transport vendors. Numerical results from the model implementation show that (a) shipping pricing structures can have pronounced impacts on manufacturing/assembly and distribution decisions both in the parent and host countries, (b) different shipping pricing structures might not be equally profitable as the cost benefits may only offset the losses from a discriminatory tariff or substantial storage expenses, and (c) increased manufacturing in the host country can be decelerated to a large extent by the localisation policy in the parent country and tight transport and storage limitations.

“…Nowadays, system theory inds application in countless areas of functioning of both the living organisms (which refers to its original sources), as well as technical devices or economic structures, but also societies, which requires seeking its application in the ield of social logistics, positioned in the ield of management sciences (Coyle, Bardi, & Langley, 2007). Management itself, as the main subject of interest in management sciences, is treated as systemic activity, which is associated with the emergence of cybernetic management models assuming the existence of controlling and controlled elements (Bhalerao, 2016;Rudolf, 2002) while logistic system is understood as "a set of logistic elements whose connections are concretized through transformation processes" (Blaik & Logistyka, 2001) or "a network of organizations, people, activities, information, and resources involved in the physical low of products from supplier to customer" (Fahimnia, Molaei, & Ebrahimi, 2011). This article focuses on a speci ic type of logistic systems -social logistics system.…”

The article presents basic assumptions de ining the resilience of logistic systems aimed at satisfying societies' needs. It focused on the special importance of system theory for the contemporary understanding of management sciences, emphasizing logistics. Based on the current state of literature, the article characterizes the concept of social logistics as one of three basic types of logistics. The importance of identifying key social needs in order to understand the essence of social logistics was also emphasized. The article contains a proposition of elements that can be a part of the social logistics system, deliberately shaped by the selected subjects, and the characteristics of connections between them. In addition to that, a composition of key factors, increasing the vulnerability of social logistics systems, and a set of measures to strengthen the resilience of the systems were proposed. The second part of the article presents the concept of conducting empirical research in the resilience of social logistics systems, conducted among representatives of secondary schools and higher educational institutions from a highly industrialized region of southern Poland. The article contains the results of pilot studies carried out on the abovementioned research sample, which is an important element shaping further research. As part of the pilot studies, both qualitative and quantitative researches were conducted. The research led to the compilation of a set of the most important vulnerability points of social logistics systems and factors that could strengthen their resilience from the point of view of southern Poland society representatives.

“…Control of GTS requires the calculation of optimal stationary modes per various criteria: minimization of gas consumption at compressor stations, throughput maximization and other [1]. A lot of works are devoted to the calculation of GTS optimal stationary modes, some refer to the optimization of compressor stations operating modes [2][3][4][5][6]. Computational methods used include dynamic programming [7][8][9][10], gradient search [1], MILP and MINLP [3,11,12], evolutionary algorithms [2,4,5,13] and other methods [14,15].…”

In this paper, we consider the problem of calculating the optimal stationary mode of the gas transmission system. The maximum throughput of the gas transmission system was used as optimization criterion. Presented are the problem statement and the solution procedure. The original problem is divided into two interrelated components: the MINLP problem and the temperature calculation. To solve the MINLP problem, the Successive Linear Programming (SLP) method was used in combination with the branch and boundary method applied to integer variables. Modeling of compressor shop operating modes was performed using integer variables. Described are the approaches to improving the convergence of the algorithm: the introduction of an additional optimization subcriterion and additional constraints for gas flows through GTS sections.
