Proposition of improving selected logistics processes of pellet production

Abstract

The principal objective of this article is to provide the profile of the market of pellet in Poland, and also to develop a design of the production of pellet, taking under a particular consideration the essential activities connected with the entire process of production. This article includes, among others, the analysis of demand for raw materials, and also the analysis of the entire process of production, including the identification of the following processes: technological, transportation, and also the storage ones. This design is intended to be applied by small and medium-sized enterprises conducting their business activity in Eastern and Central Europe which are wishing to optimise and streamline conducting essential processes in which they are involved. This study provides the guidelines to managers and decision makers in pellet industry to optimize the process of the production of pellet in order to develop the sustainable logistic environment.
