Abstract: PurposeThe purpose of the study is to propose a framework for fleet management and make suitable distribution solution choices in the food industry.Design/methodology/approachThis study reviews the literature to examine food distribution criteria. These criteria are used in the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) assessment and combined with discrete events simulation in a structured framework, which is validated through an empirical study.FindingsThe empirical case results demonstrate that both the AHP and discr… Show more

Purpose This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings The authors examine two fleet management approaches and present a hybrid framework to best optimize food transportation strategies and reduce unnecessary costs for food-providing firms. Originality/value The briefing saves busy executives, strategists and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.

The problem of increasing passenger traffic remains acute for municipal public transport. The value of this indicator is determined by the interest of citizens in this way of making their trips and determines the feasibility of the carrier’s operation. The authors conducted a study of the problems of public transport services in large- and medium-sized cities, which found that the population’s interest in public urban passenger transport has generally been significantly lost. More than 40% of the city population refuses to travel on public transport, half of the population has questions about the reliability of tariff formation, and the same number of people are not satisfied with the regular route network and schedule. City residents increasingly prefer personal vehicles or taxis for their trips, which negatively affects the revenue side of carriers, as well as the level of social comfort and the quality of life of citizens. Efforts to reduce the operating costs of the carrier are aimed at correcting the current situation with urban transport so that tariffs for transportation are more acceptable for passengers. The formation of tariffs for passenger transportation for transport companies is an urgent and complex task. It is necessary to formulate the tariff in such a way as to cover your own transportation costs in the near future and, at the same time, not exceed the psychological threshold for passengers so as not to cause their negative reaction. In addition, since the transportation of passengers by urban public transport is regulated by the authorities, it is also necessary to provide an economic justification for transportation tariffs. This is difficult in the absence of substantiated indicators of consumption rates of material resources in the transport process. To solve this problem, it is necessary to carefully analyze the current costs of operating the bus fleet, as well as forecast costs for future periods. At different periods, researchers have proposed various approaches for planning the cost of operating a bus fleet. The approach we propose is to use standardization of the consumption of material resources, considering the individual operating conditions of the bus fleet and the influence of various factors.
