The article addresses the treatment of applying the method of dynamic linear programming to solve the task of choosing the optimal strategy for the containers dispatch, taking into account the significant unevenness of loading and shipment of containers. The optimizing container transportation dynamic planning could be treated as mathematical model of the dynamic multi-period task of the loaded containers shipment, which allows the choice of the optimal strategy for sending containers, taking into account the significant unevenness of their loading and dispatch from the railway freight station. The efficiency of considered method is proved by numerical calculation being presented to disclose the dynamic linear programming algorithm implementing to solve the problem.
Supply chain management is a complex and systematic process of moving commodity flows from the moment of production planning to the further distribution of products in accordance with the market conditions and the target segment requirements. Meanwhile, the effectiveness of the supply chain can be achieved through the formation of partnerships that are aimed at organizing comprehensive cooperation of economic entities with its inalienable integration into the logistics chain of their own production. Also, such partnerships are based on the desire of economic entities to concentrate the required resources in the area of the irown competence, whereas to delegate the other functions to the third-party enterprises (for example, outsourcing them). In order to establish a partnership, the parties involved must determine and agree on possible motivators, contributing factors, business process components and expected results, taking into account the balance of power, specialization, readiness for cooperation of stakeholders, possible damage and distribution of risks, importance of the applicant, reasons for withdrawal from the contract and “force majeure” circumstances. This proposed model of partnership in supply chain management allows reducing the production cycle, the maintenance costs and the “money-money” cycle. It also allows improving the performance of the supply chain, optimizing logistics costs, which, in turn, creates favorable conditions for reducing foreign economic costs, increasing profits and focusing the core competencies of the enterprise-manufacturer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
