Abstract

The paper discusses a developed logistics technology aimed at analysing and planning complex industrial systems. The theory presented here is called Multi-dimensional Integrated Logistics Concept (MILC). This approach is based on systems-oriented logistics partly existing in literature but contains some new elements as well. It excepts and involves the requirements of the integration in space and time horizons in the field of main logistics functions (transport, storage, materials handling). Moreover the notion of the state parameter concerning integration is introduced which is connected with the processing stage of the products. The material flow occurring in this three-dimensional space (place, time, state) is considered to be cause of the change of logistics value. The emphasis is placed on the examination of the logistics value in the course of whole material flow process. The introduced Flexible System Boundary (FSB) principle serves the requirement of the practical application of the theory. The authors reveal the main prerequisities of model building. A possible field of the model application to support management decisions has also been discussed.
