Summary/Abstract: Global business market environment has got very dynamic and volatile character nowadays. The financial and economy crisis in 2008 influenced all industrial branches and their supply chains in a great deal. Competitiveness across global markets is evident in many ways such as cost, quality or time delivery. The industrial companies are striving to develop integrated logistics management systems to manage all processes in their supply chains. General logistics management system of a company is composed of subsystems which can be classified as purchasing, manufacturing, warehousing, packaging, distribution and reverse material flows management. One of the logistics objectives is to plan, to manage and to control all rising material flows inside particular mentioned subsystems. Thus, the foundation of effective logistics management system is layout drawing documentation in required detail. The paper deals with very up-to-date topic, how and in which sequence to create layout drawing documentation of company’s spaces. The documentation should be created in given order and in appropriate detail level. For this purpose has been developed methodic which has been applied in an industrial sphere. According to the created methodic, the documentation should be included the layout drawings of industrial zone, production halls, production lines, production workshops, production cells and production workplaces, etc. As soon as the documentation is created in a company, the integrated logistics management system can start to be built and then all material processes can be effectively realized or optimized. The development of new methodics or methodologies is crucial for innovations today (Hart, M. et al. 2013), (Hart, M. et al. 2014).
