Journal Title: Research in Logistics & Production - Year 2015, Vol 0, Issue 2
Abstract
The purpose of the following publication (consisting of two parts) is to perform a query of literature, which is in direct relation with the research subject of analysis of costs of purchase raw materials used in the production process. Currently, much is being said about a system, which would improve productivity and effectiveness and limitation of production costs connected with general cost minimisation, and broadly understood Lean Manufacturing philosophy. Assuming that the raw material cost amounts to 70% of the total production cost of the final product, the authors decided that it is justified to develop a model strategy, whose implementation will have a tangible effect i.e. the reduction of raw material cost, which will bring distinguishable results in the form of improved value of the production facility.
