Abstract

The motivation to take up the subject is a direct link between the stock of spare parts and the system of production capacity. The relationships which exist between the entities, referring to entrepreneurship, constitute a chance for the improvement of the functioning of the enterprise from the executive point of view. The development, which takes place in the area of minimization of stocks using logistics centers, constitutes the source of professional and individual development of people participating in the entrepreneurship process. In the assessment of the entrepreneurship of the entities, the effects of the disturbances may be observed in long, unplanned downtime of the machines and equipment or excessive costs of the maintenance of spare parts stocks. To make this relationship sustainable, it is necessary to search for modern approaches and behavior, which, simultaneously, will allow to reduce the costs of freezing capital and the risk connected with the necessity of possessing them when they are needed. One of solutions of the problem, presented in the paper, is the concept of sharing spare parts stock by a few industrial enterprises using the logistics center, treated as a new entrepreneurial approach, which reflects the process of self-development of the company as well as its employees. The applied concept allows to develop a number of financial and organizational benefits for the users of spare parts, the condition of which is the willingness for cooperation and communication, based on properly adjusted IT system.
