The systems that organize transport flows occupy a definite and very important place in the value chain. In many cases, the economic success of a company is determined by the efficiency of the handling equipment, the most common of which in warehouses are forklifts. The level of this efficiency can only be determined through standardized values or parameters. In order to examine this problem in detail, the Department for Transport Systems and Logistics at the University of Duisburg-Essen undertook a special project called "Application of Floor Handling Equipment". The aim of the study was to systematize the different methods of measuring the operating time of transport equipment and to assess what the consequences of their use might be in terms of various costs.
