Purpose: According to data from the National Center for Agriculture Support, food product transport is the most common type of transport, as food is essential for everyone. Therefore, organizing and implementing such transport must meet the highest standards. At this point, it is worth mentioning the standards and regulations governing food transport. Strict regulations govern food transport, and any violations can have serious consequences. As is commonly known, transport generally involves the movement of people or loads from point A to point B, using appropriate means, with the cargo type and transport method being key factors of consideration in this article. Design/methodology/approach: The article contains a SWOT and TOWS analysis of a transport company specializing in road transport of goods under controlled temperature and additionnal food trade services. The aim of the article is to analyze a logistics company in organizational and technical terms in the area of road refrigerated transport. Findings: The tool used to conduct the analysis will be a matrix in the form of a four-field table, and the results of the SWOT and TOWS analysis will also be presented. Research limitations/implications: The research used SWOT and TOWS analysis, i.e. research methods that present the research results very clearly and legibly and are perfect for the issue of logistics services. Practical implications: Enhancing food transport processes is crucial. If the examined company stopped at the stage of identifying its strengths, there would be a high probability that transports would not be carried out with the appropriate quality of cargo, because failure to address possible threats in any way would bring results that would be counterproductive. The permanent development of the examined company in the examined aspects bodes well for the future of the organization. Social implications: The issue of food transport in general, but also in the context of technical and organizational conditions, is important because it directly or indirectly affects every population that depends on products from the food sector. Originality/value: There are not many studies on the transport of food products in the context of technical and organizational conditions, which makes the article original.
Jednym z elementów współczesnej działalności gospodarczej jest transport produktów z miejsca ich wytwarzania do miejsca sprzedaży. Jeśli punktów odbioru jest kilka, pojawia się potrzeba wyboru optymalnej trasy przejazdu. Prawidłowe sformułowanie problemu i jego rozwiązanie umożliwia redukcję kosztów transportu i czasu przejazdu. W artykule przedstawiono wyniki badań i symulacji dotyczących optymalizacji trasy przejazdu poza miastem i w mieście. Symulacje były wykonane z wykorzystaniem specjalnie napisanego programu w języku Pascal. Wyniki symulacji potwierdziły, że koszt przejazdu prawidłowo zoptymalizowaną trasą jest mniejszy niż koszt przejazdu trasą wybieraną intuicyjnie. Stosowanie takich procedur w firmach zajmujących się transportem będzie wpływać na zwiększenie efektywności lub zmniejszenie kosztów transportu.

The transportation of food materials and food products is one of the main elements in modern economy. Hence, optimization of the transportation route, in the case of several receipt points, is very important. The proper solution of the problem gives reduction of the transportation costs and driving time. The results of investigations and simulations connected with route optimization in and out of town area are presented in the paper. The simulations were done using a special computer program written in the Pascal language. The results of the simulation confirmed the fact that properly optimized route has lower costs than intuitive rout. The procedure described in the paper and used by the transportation enterprises increases efficiency or decreases transportation cost.
Wyroby spożywcze sklasyfikowane wg grup asortymentowych zgodnie z ICS (International Code Standarization), a opisane w Katalogu Polskich Norm 2000, charakteryzują się krótkimi okresami przydatności do spożycia oraz wysokimi wymaganiami w zakresie warunków sanitarnych i zasad higieny przy ich produkcji, jak i magazynowaniu i transporcie.
