To achieve different goals among different participants of on going complexities of logistics networks, constitute the challenge facing the construction of new paradigms of 21st century. The main initiatives on supply chain management, today, have to consider widely spread models and concepts used in the solution of contemporary logistics problems.

Solutions on this field can be rearranged in agreement with fundamental logistics variables as time, information and resource. Most frequent logistics principles, not related to ordinary solutions, are identified in this paper as important potential for innovative and creative new solutions. In this way, TRIZ model applicability have been confirmed here for the field of operation management, especially to the best use of logistic system resources, new models applicability and technological innovations in this area.
