This book presents the proceedings of the 12th Carpathian Logistics Congress (CLC), which took place from November 28-29, 2024 at AGH University of Krakow, Poland. The Logisticon CLC2024 conference focuses on research, innovation and strategy in the areas of Supply Chain Management (SCM) Strategy and Planning, Sustainable Logistics Processes, Advanced Logistics Technologies, AI-based Logistics Applications. The book includes key topics in the areas of logistics, distribution, transport and management, reflecting the dynamic changes and challenges facing modern supply chains.

What is logistics? What is distribution and supply? What is supply chain management? Which elements create distribution and supply space? Which aspects affect storage design? Which information technologies are suitable for distribution and supply systems? What costs affect distribution and supply systems? These are just some of the questions explored in this book. In addition to providing theoretical analysis of the problems of distribution and supply, it practically demonstrates the many ways of using of heuristics to solve specific tasks. It brings together eight case studies to investigate facets such as designing distribution systems, location problem solving, distribution and collection of goods solutions, and inventory management solutions in particular companies. As such, it will appeal to students in the field of logistics, as well as logistics managers, designers and planners.
