摘要：Supply process is one of major priorities for each manufacturing plant. To produce quality products with low prices is an advantage in competition on the market. A prerequisite for such a state is to minimize prices of production inputs, which can be achieved by stock optimizing. Presented contribution on specific example illustrates discrete optimization process on principles of Branch & Bound, which defines the input, and optimized parameters of initial stock of bearings in selected companies operating on Slovak market. In conclusion, the impact of optimized solutions is given and highlights the need for optimization.
