| Abstract [eng] |
Logistics systems in many sectors of the modern economy have a significant impact on their competitiveness. Having examined the general logistics systems functioning principles, their types and conditions of formation, authors of the article have determined that in order to ensure the competitiveness of each more or less clustered economic sector, a unique logistics system is needed. By researching biomass clusters, authors of the study have developed their logistics system that involves planning, provision, production, resource flow distribution from producer to user, and ensures synergistic effects for cluster participants. Authors’ empirical research on hypothetical biomass clusters fully confirmed the theoretical assumptions about the impact of logistics systems on the competitiveness of biomass clusters. The results of empirical research have indicated, that logistics system is effective in case of both large and small intensity of biomass consumption. It has been established that evenly increasing demand for biomass can be based on further biomass deposits, and closer deposits are used to neutralize the sudden jumps in demand. |
