Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to create a simulation model of a packing line in an e-commerce activity from the perspective of a logistics operator, along with identifying recommendations for further model improvement as part of digital transformation. Design/methodology/approach: This paper uses results obtained by simulation analysis of a computer model of a process built in BPMN 2.0 notation. Data for the model was collected from process analysis, analysis of data obtained from WMS and sensors on the packaging line and from participant observation in the process. Findings: Based on the analysis, it can be concluded that the logistics operator is able to create a simulation model of the process and optimise its operations using the simulation results. The model presented can also be the basis for building a Digital Twin in the distribution network for e-commerce flows. Practical implications: The logistics operator can extend its package of services to include the construction of simulation models and, in future, can also take on the task of creating value for the network on the basis of the Digital Twin created. Originality/value: The paper presents a real-life case study related to the first phase of Digital Twin implementation, namely the creation of a simulation model to create value in the flows and improve the logistics processes involved in serving the e-commerce market.

W nadchodzących latach na świecie pojawi się niedobór 20 milionów pracowników w sektorze 3PL. Jednocześnie, aż trzy z czterech obecnie funkcjonujących w tej branży stanowisk będzie ulegało modyfikacjom. Wysoka dynamika zmian będzie miała szczególne znaczenie dla firm 3PL, które w najbliższym czasie będą zmuszone zmierzyć się z niedoborom wysoko wykwalifikowanych pracowników, a zwłaszcza takich, którzy określani są mianem „utalentowanych”, czyli posiadających potencjał rozwojowy, niezbędny do nieustannego dostosowania się do zmieniających się uwarunkowań na rynkach światowych. Celem artykułu jest analiza znaczenia realizacji strategii zarządzania talentami w firmach 3PL i ocena, jaki może mieć ona wpływ na uzyskiwane przez nie rezultaty ekonomiczne. Na wstępie artykułu przedstawiono istotę zarządzania talentami. W dalszej części, na podstawie przeglądu literatury oraz badań empirycznych dokonano identyfikacji kluczowych kompetencji, które powinni posiadać pracownicy z grupy „talentów” w firmach 3PL. W zakończeniu artykułu omówiono związek strategii zarządzania talentami z ekonomicznymi aspektami funkcjonowania firm 3PL.
