{"title":"Space Logistics - Current Status and Perspectives","authors":"A. Baraniecka","doi":"10.26881/etil.2019.82.06","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.26881/etil.2019.82.06","url":null,"abstract":" Space exploration has been going on for decades. Although humanity has not been able to reach further than the Moon, and the only human activity in space is currently taking place in the low Earth’s orbit, technological and organizational innovations that accompanied the previous projects have contributed to significant changes in the space sector and the global economy. These changes are also visible in logistics activities, especially in transport. In this article, the author reviews the current achievements in the field of space logistics, presents its definition, principles and functions, and indicates the specifics of processes, resources and the infrastructure. Due to the reviewing nature of the paper, the author’s main goal is to identify a new research problem in logistics and initiate a scientific discussion on space logistics, especially in the Polish logistics environment. The important goal of the paper is also the promotion of this topic on the basis of business practice, pointing to the space sector, as a place for the development of Polish enterprises and organizations, including logistics operators or research centers. The main method used in the work on the paper is a critical, systematic analysis of the literature of the subject and resulting from the author’s interests, the observation of the global space sector. An important premise for addressing the topic is the search for an original research problem using knowledge, interests and intuition. The most important conclusion resulting from the considerations undertaken in the paper is to establish that space logistics, as a result of technological breakthroughs dedicated mainly to the perspective of manned interplanetary missions, is a field that is facing extremely rapid growth, which in turn determines the growing expectations towards the scientific community. Logistics in space considered so far as an “abstract” theme should meet with greater interest of Polish scientists. This article is an introduction to an in-depth research on the subject of setting up and managing orbital and interplanetary supply chains.","PeriodicalId":32605,"journal":{"name":"Research Journal of the University of Gdansk Transport Economics and Logistics","volume":"84 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89682913","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Group which is the largest rail freight operator in Poland and one of the largest in Europe. PKP CARGO S.A. wishes to enhance its market position, and one of the strategic goals of the company is to take up the function of a logistics operator. The company is predisposed to play this role due to its position in the market and the opportunities for its development. Moreover, it is the economy and the changing freight structure as well as the EU policy in the field of sustainable transport that are conducive to developing the function of a logistics partner. \u0000Nevertheless, PKP CARGO is operating in specific business, legal, infrastructural and rolling-stock conditions. This environment is not easy, in certain situations it is even a hindrance, an obstacle to the development of logistics services, none-theless, the company can see wide prospects for such business.

The study has proven that improvement in the information exchange between the Producer and the Supplier of raw materials brings business-related benefits. The example shown concerns the reduction of stock of a selected material, replenished as part of a system based on the reorder point. The automation of activities related to information processing has shortened the duration of certain stages of stock replenishment, which, on the basis of basic dependencies within the replenishment system, has allowed reducing the safety stock kept to ensure production continuity in conditions of uncertain demand. It was possible to introduce changes in the replenishment process (both on the Producer’s and the Supplier’s part) owing to a profound analysis of the process itself. The example presented applies the BPMN 2.0 standard and the iGrafx tool.","PeriodicalId":32605,"journal":{"name":"Research Journal of the University of Gdansk Transport Economics and Logistics","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82100101","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The adverse impact of transport can be felt both in the natural environment and in society, where the dynamic development of this sector has enabled significant civilization development, with the effects varying depending on the level of economic development, the degree of advancement and the use of various transport sectors, geographical location (including climate), and also the sensitivity of the elements of the environment. Considering contemporary transport hazards, it is important to prevent them from occurring, and when that is not possible – limiting their impact on the environment and reducing the scale and extent of negative impacts. \u0000In the paper the environmental and social nuisance of transport of goods loaded in semi-trailers was analyzed. The transport of semi-trailers using intermodal wagons pulled by the diesel locomotive in accordance with the assumptions adopted in the railway with the maximum length of train composition was, inter alia, taken into account.
