The growing amount of municipal solid wastes (MSW) per inhabitant is increasing in most of the European countries. The organization of efficient logistics for MSWs’ collection and recovery is crucial in order to improve the quality of environment and the human wellbeing. In European Union the municipalities are responsible to adopt measures to recycling and recovering of waste streams. The aim of this chapter is to identify the drivers and barriers inter-municipal solid waste. The data from over 230 Polish municipalities is analyzed. Our research contributes to the sustainability literature by providing the empirical evidence in this area.

Kesilapan dalam perancangan pengurusan latihan kepada penjawat awam menimbulkan kesan buruk kepada pembangunan latihan. Justeru, penyelaras program latihan yang dilantik mestilah bijak dalam menentukan jenis latihan yang sesuai untuk dilaksanakan. Penentuan tersebut juga mestilah mengikut kesesuaian diskripsi jawatan atau bidang pekerjaan. Sebagai penyelaras juga hendaklah bijak memilih modul-modul yang bertepatan untuk melatih peserta supaya berkemahiran dalam bidang kerja yang ditugaskan. Kajian ini adalah untuk meneliti isu dan cabaran dalam pengurusan latihan di Institut Latihan Islam Malaysia (ILIM) Kampus Besut. Seramai enam orang pegawai dipilih sebagai informan terdiri daripada penyelaras program latihan yang mewakili populasi seramai 26 orang. Metodologi kajian adalah berbentuk kualitatif dengan menggunakan kaedah temu bual dan pemerhatian. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan terdapat pelbagai isu yang timbul kesan daripada pelaksanaan latihan dan cabaran yang dihadapi oleh penyelaras latihan.
The paper describes the course of study on the stock replenishment process in a production company. The study has proven that improvement in the information exchange between the Producer and the Supplier of raw materials brings business-related benefits. The example shown concerns the reduction of stock of a selected material, replenished as part of a system based on the reorder point. The automation of activities related to information processing has shortened the duration of certain stages of stock replenishment, which, on the basis of basic dependencies within the replenishment system, has allowed reducing the safety stock kept to ensure production continuity in conditions of uncertain demand. It was possible to introduce changes in the replenishment process (both on the Producer’s and the Supplier’s part) owing to a profound analysis of the process itself. The example presented applies the BPMN 2.0 standard and the iGrafx tool.
