The article presents the fundamental problems of optimizing supply processes. It presents: theoretical foundations of optimization, structure of the supply process, cost structure and methods of their estimation, as well as basic methods of optimizing supply costs. The use of the indicated methods does not provide immediate effects. However, it allows for a permanent reduction of costs in the future related to the size of the required warehouse space or capital frozen in inventories. The fundamental dilemma is the correct estimation of the costs of a single delivery and unit costs of maintaining the inventory. The article describes the methodology for their estimation in several variants. It seems the most logical, but its practical application can be quite complicated. The issue of optimizing supply costs should be viewed holistically. Because improving the efficiency of one sub-process can lead to a deterioration in the efficiency of the others.
