Introduction/purpose: The paper discusses the selection of the most optimal supplier using the example of an unmanned aircraft when the decision maker has data of a qualitative nature. Problems that arise in practice in the selection of suppliers relate to the selection of adequate criteria as well as the way they are evaluated by the decision maker. One of the ways of assessing the criteria of a qualitative character is the usage of linguistic expressions, which gives decision makers the freedom to express their position and opinion through descriptive assessments. This method of assessment is not the most accurate and can introduce a certain amount of uncertainty for the decision maker. Methods: To solve the problem of uncertainty, the paper proposes a method of modeling data using intuitive phase numbers. Intuitive phase numbers are suitable for solving the problem of uncertainty in situations when it is necessary to review safety during the assessment. To rank suppliers, the ELECTRE method is used, which is adapted to intuitive phase numbers (IF ELECTRE). The IF ELECTRE method was chosen because it clearly presents the potential of all suppliers, i.e. their advantages and disadvantages in relation to the required criteria. Results: Using IF ELECTRE, the final results provide a shape of mutual preference or indifference between suppliers. The ranking clearly shows the potential of all suppliers, which in a future procurement can serve as a reference for decision making. Conclusion: The contribution of this paper is reflected in the proposed model that can be used in practice to solve not only the problem of supplier selection, but also similar problems where the decision is made based on inaccurate data. Using these models seeks to reduce indecision and subjectivity in decision making.

Introduction/purpose:The paper presents the development of logistics as a specific field of military branch, a contemporary field of business and a scientific discipline which inspires many researchers, theorists and practitioners to approach logistical problems from various aspects. The essence of logistics is an integrated approach to all its constituent activities, which reduces costs and increases the efficiency and effectiveness of the logistics system in supporting the primary activities of an organization or a technical system. Due to intensive and multidimensional development of logistics and its applications in various fields, the need for highly educated logistics personnel with specialized knowledge for performing a wide range of activities in the logistics system is becoming increasingly necessary. Methods: Based on the description of military, business, national and humanitarian logistics and a comparative analysis, their mutual relationship is shown. Results: Based on the performed analysis, an explanation of the importance of studying logistics as a multidisciplinary science and pointing out the need for specific training of logistics personnel was given. Conclusion: Logistics is intensively developing in various fields depending on the goals of the system (organizational and technical) it supports. In general, commercial logistics is evolving faster than military logistics, and many innovative commercial logistics solutions are being deployed in military logistics. However, certain solutions that produce good results in the commercial sector do not produce adequate results in the military. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out research and study of the functioning of logistics systems in different fields and carefully integrate individual solutions into the military logistics system. As the most complex logistics system, military logistics requires specific staffing and training of logistics professionals.

Razvoj organizacije (firme) uslov je opstanka, a podrazumeva i njeno prilagođavanje promenama okruženja i unapređenje položaja u okruženju. Srž razvoja jesu inovacije koje su u oblasti menadžmenta ključne za razvoj. Prevelika vlast skoncentrisana u rukama malog broja ljudi u vrhu organizacijske hijerarhije čini da kapacitet organizacije za promene postane talac njihove volje i spremnosti da unapređuju svoja znanja, a takva organizacija je manje fleksibilna i manje otporna. Stroga kontrola i nadzor mogu, u izvesnoj meri, da nateraju zaposlene na poslušnost, ali sigurno guše inicijativu, kreativnost i strast, bez kojih nema napretka. Planiranje, kao inicijalna upravljačka funkcija, dugo je bilo dobar način da organizacija smanji neizvesnost koju donosi budućnost. Međutim, moderno vreme ne karakterišu samo promene, već i brzina kojom se one odvijaju, dubina i sveobuhvatnost, što akterima ne ostavlja vremena za predah, obimne analize i dugoročno planiranje. S tim u vezi, Rupert Mardok, predsednik i generalni direktor 'News Corporation', izjavio je: 'Svet se veoma brzo menja. Veliki više neće pobeđivati male. Sada će brzi pobeđivati spore.' Dugoročne prognoze i planovi koji su na njima zasnovani pokazali su se kao nedovoljno pouzdani. Prognoziranje budućnosti u sinergiji sa proaktivnim, inovativnim delovanjem u oblasti poslovanja, politike, strategije i menadžmenta predstavlja odgovor na izazove koje donosi turbulentno okruženje. Za takve izazove potrebno je napraviti adekvatne pripreme (kadrovske, organizacione, finansijske, materijalne, psihološke), mobilisati sve ljude u organizaciji i osloboditi sav kreativan potencijal organizacije. Stvaranje uslova za uključivanje svih zaposlenih u organizaciji jeste glavni zadatak inovacije1 menadžmenta.

In order to be efficient and effective, logistic services, as a part of the defence system, has to be designed and organized in a high-quality way. They must have a long-term development concept with built-in organizational aspects, clearly expressed focuses and priorities in the functioning and well-defined indicators of quality performance. In order to reach the required operational capabilities and the desired state of the logistics, it is necessary to achieve a philosophical, intellectual, doctrinal, technical and operational unity within the logistic system and then with the other subsystems of defense, in accordance with the needs of practice, the requirements of modern times and trends. The starting point for achieving a high degree of unity within the Army logistics is the definition of the concept of the development of logistic services with a built-in organizational aspect, as an intellectual conceptual sketch containing the guidelines and recommendations for intellectual thinking, development and operational activities and contributing to the gradual formation of a unified understanding of the logistic system of defense. When considering the directions of the development of logistics services, certain analogy will be applied as in other successful, complex multilevel, organizational and economic systems. The existence of long-term concepts of development, with a built-in organizational aspect, is something that will be asked from competent control and decision-makers. In this paper, certain aspects and segments of the development of the logistics process will be discussed with a high degree of generalization, by relying on authors' experience and research as well as on available sources of knowledge. The aforementioned approach allows for a greater generalalisation of the given views; on the other hand, it can get in strength (the depth and accuracy) if validly operationalised in each logistic service, in each particular element or case. Defense as a function of the state Each and every state has an undisputable right on individual and collective defense. Defense is an important state function for the realization of which the government (legislative, executive and judicial) is responsible. The defense of the state is the general necessity, right and obligation of all defense and security subjects. No one can be exempt from the efforts necessary for successful defense; therefore, all resources (regardless of property) within the state's territory, under certain conditions, become defensive potential and the defense function of the country, according to their nature and needs of the country's defense. Defense logistics Besides the well-trained personnel, the logistic system of a country comprises appropriate legislation, appropriate production and services, equipment, raw materials, energy sources, infrastructure and all other necessary support for the realization of corresponding production, service, social, educational, cultural, defence, etc. programs aiming at the increase of the defence and economic potential of a country. Logistic support system According to the general theory of systems, each system consists of a set of parts that form a functional unit, types of connection and levels of intensity of relationships between parts and the principles (rules) on the basis of which these components are connected into a unity. A logistic support system includes: staff in administrative and executive bodies of logistics, material resources and logistic organs of units; location where components of logistic support are developed, logistic facilities and installations, legal acts and military literature and documentation in the field of logistics support. Global tendencies in the development and operational logistics in the modern system of defense Given that the logistics is a major manufacturer, supplier and distributor of material resources and a large consumer of financial resources, it has to be the area of management attention, both civil and military ones, and of permanent control in the phase of planning, organizing and implementation of logistic activities. This control is primarily related to financial and material operations, quality products and services, logistics solutions and priorities. It is in the area of control that the most of potential disagreement occurs. Understanding the nature and the degree of logistical control systems (skills, good reasoning ability and balanced reasoning) that management should realize is important for achieving the expected efficiency and effectiveness. Aspects and elements of the concept of the logistic service development In defining the concept of the development of logistic services it is necessary to bear in mind the mission of logistic services as a part of the defense system, aims which logistic services should achieve, results to be obtained and tasks to be executed. The missions of individual subsystems supported by logistic services and their functioning in peace, crisis, mobilization and war should be also taken into account. The concept of the development of logistic services should be directed to the logistic system and its interior as well as the elements of the system, but should also respect the environment of the system and its effect on the operational and functional capabilities of logistic services, both existing and considered ones. Conclusion There is a significant necessity and possibility for logistics and logistic services to be developed integrally on the scientific basis both as a skill (practice) and a scientific discipline (theory), in relation with other defence disciplines and subsystems. The necessity to improve logistic aspects of planning and logistic support planning is stressed in particular. It is important to intensify efforts in raising the level of the logistic culture of the users of logistic services. Under the conditions such as insufficient funding, continuous pressures for the...

This paper presents possible ways for determining criteria weights based on the criteria ranks. The linear weights with a variable slope, reciprocal weights, rank order centroid weights, rank sum weights, geometric weights and rank order distribution weights are shown in this paper. When the ranking process involves several experts, there is a possibility for aggregating criteria ranks (weights) using selected mathematical methods, social choice theory methods and the Kemeni median. The application of the selected methods is illustrated with one numerical example and the obtained results are analyzed. The main aim of this paper is a systematic review of possible ways for determining the criteria weights based on criteria ranks given by one or more experts.

Nijedan nacionalni suverenitet nije moguć bez očuvanja duhovnog suvereniteta, što je pak ne moguće bez suverenog sistema obrazovanja. U sklopu ukupnih društvenih promena odnosno reforme čitavog sistema vrednosti, nauka i obrazovanje imaju poseban značaj. U Srbiji se uvek smatralo da je obrazovanje sticanje sistemskog znanja plus duhovno1 i moralno vaspitanje, nacionalna istorija i nacionalna ideologija. Potrebe prakse, zahtevi vremena, i savremeni trendovi zahtevaju neprekidno promišljanje o razvoju Univerziteta i unapređenju rada. Promišljanje treba vršiti na načelima i logici sistemskog i situacionog pristupa, uvažavajući dijalektičko jedinstvo opšteg, posebnog i pojedinačnog i tretirajući UnO kao poseban odnosno pojedinačan slučaj, uslovljen brojnim specifičnostima, ali i nasleđenim stanjem koje treba menjati. Neophodno je povremeno vršiti detaljniju analizu dostignutog stanja,2 smera i intenziteta unapređenja objektivne stvarnosti dodeljene kroz dodeljivanje misije pri osnivanju Univerziteta odbrane. Prioriteti u delovanju trebaju biti usmereni na dalju harmonizaciju i integraciju, na stvaranje, izbor i razvoj nastavnika i ostalog kadra (studenti, poslovodni i upravljački kadar), na usavršavanje i razvoj studijskih programa i unapređenje vaspitno-obrazovnog procesa. Neophodno je da UnO, kao najmlađi državni univerzitet, brže i intenzivnije preuzima najbolje vrednosti i dobre prakse sa ostalih univerzi-teta, braneći odsutno svoje lične vrednosti koje su izdržale probu vremena, ali uz oprez da se ne prihvate i određene negativne pojave i procesi koji su prisutni na nekim univerzitetima. Bez obzira što su zapadni obrazovni standardi inicirali renesansu 'pokreta za kvalitet' u vojnim poslovima uključujući i obrazovanje, oni ne smeju svojim zapadnim karakterom da minimizuju specifičnost naše nacionalne kulture i usmere nas da tuđim očima gledamo našu objektivnu stvarnost. Kosmopolitizam ne isključuje sopstveni identitet, već naprotiv, oslanja se na istinsko poznavanje samoga sebe.
