Realization of the Logistic Approach in the International Cargo Delivery System

Abstract

Fierce rivalry in the transport market raises serious reassessment and implementation of new approaches to logistics companies and trade enterprises in marketing of goods. To maintain the volume of domestic sales and output to the external one, producers and trading firms are forced to expand their trade and economic relations that occur in other regions. The integration of the world economy and policy orientation of foreign trade to free trade greatly simplify the task of setting up the free trade and economic connections, but the question is how quickly and efficiently, with the least costs, it is necessary to put the goods in the right region to the customer.In modern market conditions, international container transportation of goods between Ukraine and the European Union countries has a prospect of development, as each year the number of orders in transport and logistics enterprises increases. After analyzing the status of orders, the problem has been detected and widely connected with the method of organization of container cargo delivery in international communication and the formation of rational technology of serviced. To solve this problem a method of logistic approach to the system of containers transportation has been proposed based on the cybernetic model „white box“. The initial stage of its implementation involves formation of the limitation system of input parameters and factors that are consistent with the needs of the customer firm and the company performing transportation. Ten alternative order services schemes, each of which takes into account the possible combinations of operations, has been proposed.Based on the company „Inter Trans Logistic“, which serviced the order of the company „Agricultural Holding August“ for the transportation of rape seeds, 10 tons of corn on demand and a portion of sunflower oil 20,000 liters, according to their applications for transportation, a logistic approach using a cybernetic model „white box“ has been implemented. Based on the mathematical models of changes in the total costs of the international container cargo shipping company of the customer, it has been shown that the maximum expenses are occurring in the implementation of the scheme 1 service order. In that case, the costs have been in the range of 848.72 to 7455.41 US $, according to a certain series of experiments. Based on the condition of the minimum cost function for container transportation, scheme 1 has been chosen as limiting scheme of service order against which the assessment carried out changes of the total costs in the implementation of other schemes. In percentage display according to Scheme 1, the following percentage intervals have been deducted for the reduction of sales costs: Scheme 2 - 12.70 to 34.98%; Scheme 3 - 2.93 to 12.00%; Scheme 4 - 2.06 to 10.88%; Scheme 5 - 1.69 to 4.25%; Scheme 6 - 0.87 to 3.28%; scheme7 - 0.97 to 2.58%; Scheme 8 - 1.64 to 4.45%; Scheme 9 - 2.66 to 11.77%; scheme 10 - 2.33 to 9.94%.The results of experimental studies indicate that when the proposed methodology of the logistic approach, using the „white box“ based on the company „Inter Trans Logistic“ to international container transportation of goods in relation to the application of the company „Agricultural Holding August“ for transportation, the scheme 2 sequence of transport operations has been effective. In its realization the costs for 12.70 to 34.98% has been decreased in comparison with the marginal service scheme.

Mathematical Modeling of Cargo Flow Distribution in a Regional Multimodal Transportation System

“…A large number of studies carried out in recent years are related to the optimization of the distribution of cargo flows, including those considered within the framework of multimodal transportation systems [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. This takes into account the drastic transformations that have taken place in the transport industry and associated with the development of the transport services market, as well as focused on a more complete fulfillment of the conditions put forward by customers.…”

“…The possibilities of using digital technologies when choosing the most cost-effective freight transportation scheme based on a cybernetic model are considered in [7]. The «white box» model allows one to take into account the input parameters required by the consignor and select the optimal scheme from those parameters that are proposed for consideration.…”

Building of Consolidated Cargoessupply Logistics From Ukraine to Europe

“…Таблиця При побудові логістики поставки консолідованих вантажів виникають проблеми щодо руху матеріального потоку, інформаційного, фінансовотехнологічного потоків. Цю проблематику посилює ще й специфіка митних процедур в Україні [8], розміщення відправників, термінальних комплексів та одержувачів вантажів [9,10], зони відповідальності, раціональне розміщення вантажу в кузові автомобіля, ефективне планування маршруту, підготовка документів на кожну партію вантажу та інформаційний супровід процесу поставки [11]. Тому для налагодження ефективної взаємодії всіх учасників логістики поставки консолідованих вантажів та зниження витрат на доставку товарів з України в країни Європи необхідно врахувати «СМАРТ» рішення, тенденції щодо збільшення попиту на дані послуги, ризикові складові, рівні відмов, паралельність та асинхронність взаємодії.…”
