EN Transport organization in the supply chain is a complex issue, which includes a number of factors, like the choice of routes and means of transport or attempt to consolidate loads. In order to improve the functioning of the supply chain, we can analyze realized activities in chain. This allows the evaluation and improvement of selected aspects. When the transport processes are analyzed, it is necessary take into account the factors affecting a sustainability of a supply chain. As in any process, we should consider a wide count of disturbances affecting the effectiveness of the supply chain. Disturbances were divided into 6 groups: about means of transport, about route factors, associated with driver (for example driver’s knowledge), resulting from sender fault, resulting from recipient fault and the others factors. Besides, authors determined how a specified disturbance affects a sustainability of supply chain.
