For transport companies, it is necessary to ensure the expected level of freight transport services focused on the needs and possibilities of customers to succeed in today's highly competitive transport market. The final level of logistic chain can be negatively influenced by an unexpected constraints. To avoid of this, it is necessary to identify and calculate the level of possible constraints that may have negative impact on the final efficiency of realised logistics chain. Based on the research realised at University of Žilina, Department of Railway transport, there was created a Microsoft Excel application that evaluates and compares the level of constraints in different variants of logistic chain realisation. The comparison is realised by using of a criteria that represent the possible constraints. The evaluation process is realised by setting of weights of the criteria and the comparison of their level in two different variants of logistic chain realisation. The software comparison allows easily to choose the more efficient variant of realisation of logistic chain.
