Abstract

The aim of this research paper is to present an approach of assessment the priorities for improvements of each supply logistics sub-process in the organization. The ways of comparison of targets sub-processes and their corresponding real sub-processes are explained. Algorithm for calculating of priority of supply logistics sub-process improvement is reviewed. It includes calculating of vector that describes the necessity of sub-process improvement in each measurement as well as determining of aggregate coefficient that represents the need for each supply logistics sub-process optimization in all its measurements.
