                                                                   1
WORK PACKAGE 1 EXPECTED RESULTS

Implementation of methods and tools
for optimal planning of logistics
centres and their networking in the
Baltic Sea Region.

This task is realized in three distinct
phases:


                                          2
         Milestone 1
Investigation of factors influencing
the birth process and development
of logistics centres. Comparative
analysis of selected logistics
centres in the Baltic Sea Region.

Criteria for comparison, analysis
and evaluation of logistics centres.

    OVERVIEW OF PLANNING MODELS IN LOGISTICS

CHOICES FOR MODELING

Although there are numerous individual models that can be
    used for analysis, models may be classified in just a few
    categories:

•     chart, compass, and ruler techniques,
•     simulation models,
•     heuristic models,
•     optimization models, and
•     expert system models


                                                                18
SELECTED MATHEMATICAL MODELS FOR
PLANNING LOCATION AND FUNCTIONS
       OF LOGISTICS CENTRES


•   Non-competitive location models
• Competitive location models
• Combined optimization of the logistics
centre location and size
• Multi-criterion location models

      APPLICATION OF NEURAL
     NETWORKS IN PLANNING OF
        LOGISTICS CENTRE

• Analysis of the usefulness of artificial neural
networks in logistics centre planning
• Artificial neural network based logistics centre
models
• An example – a simplified neural network model of
a logistics centre


                                                      21
 DIGITAL SIMULATION AS A TOOL
IN PLANNING LOGISTICS CENTRES


• The process of modelling and
simulation of logistics centre

• Benefits of the use of simulation
models in the logistics centers planning
process
