Only solid analysis and assessment of assortment management in logistical supply systems in foundry plants of particular assortment groups allows to lower the supply costs significantly. In the article the analysis and assessment of the newest implemented optimising algorithms are presented in the process stock management of selected material groups used in a production process of a chosen foundry plant. A practical solution to solve a problem of rotary stock cost minimisation is given as well as of costs while creating a stock with the usage of economical volume and value of order.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Management of Assortment Inventory Groups in Selected Foundry}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/88708/PDF/14_paper.pdf}, doi={10.1515/afe-2015-0062}, keywords={Computer support of casting production, Supply logistics in a foundry plant}, }
