Companies that operate in the international automotive industry face various cost-related demands, including demands for lower logistics costs. For the purpose of assessing the situation in the field of logistics, a survey was carried out on a sample of Slovenian manufacturing companies that are part of the international supplier chain. The goal of the study is to determine whether the various demands of customers for lower logistics costs have an impact on the business processes of Slovenian companies. The results of the statistical analysis highlight the importance of cooperation between departments within companies when customers demand lower logistics costs and emphasize the importance of introducing innovations in the optimization of these costs. The case study also represents a current reference for other sectors of the economy on the topic of logistics process management and on strengthening relations in international supply chains.

Warehousing is a labour-intensive process, requiring warehouse operators to use different methods of work and various equipment and to be in constant motion. During this process, various types of warehousing errors can occur, which can be reduced with the introduction of a suitable strategy. A prerequisite for this is to have sufficient knowledge of the specifics of error prevention in the warehouse process that are mainly linked to how warehouse operators perceive the usefulness of modern technology, the introduction of modern work processes and their own accountability in work. This study aims to develop a strategy that takes into account these aspects and is an ideal solution for the prevention of potential errors in the warehouse process of the company.

Identifying the optimal warehouse location involves a series of qualitative and quantitative factors. The purpose of this study was to use hierarchical clustering to identify the optimal location for a warehouse, which would ensure the lowest cost, a high level of quality in supplying customers and connect the selling and purchasing activities of the businesses operating in the Slovenian automotive industry into a system. The study also aims to demonstrate the applicability of the selected method for identifying warehouse locations in more demanding cases because the very process of identifying a location is dependent upon a company's logistic strategy. The advantage of the method used in this study is that it enables the user to use a combination of the data that is the most important for a company in a given period as well as consistent with the company's chosen business strategy.

Wybór optymalnej lokalizacji magazynu jest zależny od różnych czynników jakościowych i ilościowych. Wykorzystując metodę grupowania hierarchicznego, chcieliśmy określić optymalną lokalizację magazynu, która gwarantuje najniższe koszty, wysokiej jakości obsługę klientów i łączy w spójny system sprzedażową i nabywczą działalność przedsiębiorstw w słoweńskim przemyśle motoryzacyjnym. W badaniu chcieliśmy również udowodnić, że wybrana metoda ma zastosowanie przy wyborze bardziej wymagającego miejsca magazynowania, ponieważ sam proces wyboru lokalizacji jest podporządkowany strategii logistycznej danego przedsiębiorstwa. Zaletą wykorzystanej metody jest to, że umożliwia ona zastosowanie kombinacji tych danych, które w danym okresie są dla przedsiębiorstwa najważniejsze oraz zgodne z wybraną strategią.
