Žene u logistici - lepo i uzvišeno

Abstract

Logistics, as a scientific and engineering field, and women, with specific intellectual, scientific and research affinities, are attracted. The attractiveness of woman and logistics in this paper is analyzed through the concept of philosophical thinking about feeling of the beautiful and sublime. The logistics chain is an extremely complex system that includes a large number of different elements, activities, participants. There are different, most often conflicting goals, and the optimization of the logistics chain is inseparable from the optimization of logistics systems as carriers of its realization. The simultaneous and comprehensive optimization of all the links in the logistics chain is the goal, challenge, motive and need. Solving these problems requires different virtues, knowledge, skills. The goal is beauty, a harmonious realization of flows with all the characteristics of variability, randomness. On the other hand, true virtue is exalted, and women possess true virtues. Women, as architects of logistics chains, find the best combinations of characteristics of logistics processes and systems. In addition to the sublime, women tend to beautiful, and the power of beauty in the sublime creates a new dimension of virtue. In addition to the theoretical analysis of the relationship between women and logistics, the paper presents data on education, participation and status of women logistics engineers in the world and in Serbia.
