A method supporting the selection of transport companies and their associated means of transport for local supply networks is presented. Linear integer programming task models, built specifically for this method, were used. The cost criterion was taken into account in the selection of companies and means of transport. For the selected means of transport, a schedule of product flow between individual network links is built – transport operations assigned to selected companies are sequenced. The results of computational experiments used to verify the method are included.(…)
