Abstract
Tough competition on the steel product market causes the functioning of steelworks largely to depend on their abilities to respond flexibly to the market needs and offer the right product, at the right price and in the right time. A tool which is more and more commonly used for achieving this goal is logistics. The function of logistics in a production company is the optimal shaping of the stream of materials and information flowing through the company. The article reports the result of an analysis of material and information flows on the example of a selected metallurgical enterprise.
