The development of the modern market and the dynamically changing environment of the market place make the companies competitive which results in the increase in efficiency and the use of all sources of competitive advantage as the one and only possibility for the companies’ survival.

The globalization of the world economy, the increase in the number of transnational associations, the joint ventures, the strategic alliances and the developing business partnerships impose the need to search for concepts and competencies in which the enterprise is not only preferred, but also maximally profitable. The selection and construction of efficient supply chains is a key factor for high competitiveness in the market. The formation of load groups is one of the ways to reduce transport costs.

The report examines the importance of groupings for the efficient transportation of goods. Grouping types and grouping lines are presented. The grouping transportation planning has been reviewed in order to achieve maximum efficiency.
