Abstract

For the last dozen years Polish metallurgic products supply networks have undergone strong changes in their logistic systems. The article analyses the formation of metallurgic products supplies as regards suppliers and recipients. The author indicated a shift of the material distribution point for the determined assortment groups. Simultaneously, the author underlined the role of service centres and steel yards in the reorganization of a distribution network. It was also indicated that distribution networking is an opportunity to increase adaptivity of both individual distribution enterprises and all supply chains. The study presented in the article was carried out as part of the author's own research project entitled: An IT system to assist the management of material flows in a network as exemplified by metallurgic products.
