| Abstract |
The paper presents the method of operational research for the optimization of logistics in a service company. This is important for the decision making of company management related to logistic system and for the support of its sustainable business performance. There is described the relevant transportation problem, designed and solved its mathematical model. Information and communication technology tools provide an efficient environment for the solving mathematical models. Without this support it would be impractical to solve large logistic tasks due to the computational complexity, extensive sets of variables, etc. The Maple system is used for the solution of transport problem. Its Optimization Package is briefly presented. The solution of transport problem is interpreted as economic outputs, which are understandable and important for company management. The paper links to one of coauthor thesis defended on the Faculty of Business and Management of the Brno University of Technology. This research can be the stimulus for the cooperation of universities with companies and create a modern uncomplicated technological support for solving problems and decision making in logistics. |
