Background: Despite the fact that some results can be found for the logistics simulation
in the literature, there is a lack of an experiment based on inner company data. Therefore,
the study aimed to determine the potential need for this kind of solution by Zala
County enterprises. Methods: As a first step, the paper presents the existing literature
with the help of a literature review. Afterwards, questionnaire sampling was conducted
among local enterprises. The paper applies several statistical methods (e.g., descriptive
statistics, SPSS, exploratory factor analysis, and structural equation modeling) to
the sample for the validation of the reorganization demand. Results: The study obtained
a total of 147 complete responses from the 1022 invitations. An overwhelming majority
of the respondents indicated regular and significant delays in their logistics processes,
as well as the need for a new simulation method. Based on the SEM model, it has been
observed that IT solutions are being utilized in an inefficient manner, resulting
in logistical system issues and operational damages. Conclusion: The paper successfully
identified a research gap, the research of which can have not only theoretical but
also many practical benefits. Hopefully, the results will generate other academic
research in this field.
