Improving Quality of the Railway Transport Through the Application of the Theory of Constraints

“…One of the basic elements of the TOC method is the principle of causality, which means causality, a causal relationship between cause and effect. 6 , 7 Another is the principle of the Socratic method of questioning (currently 5 times why), the principle of five steps TOC: adjust the constraints to increase system performance,  identification of a new restriction (return to first point). 8 The application of these steps was elaborated by Eliyahu M.

Road Transport Liquid Fuel Today and Tomorrow: Literature Overview

“…Instead of pocketing the profits; Ford lowered the price of his car. As a result, Ford Motors sold more cars and steadily increased its earnings -transforming the automobile from a luxury toy to an every-day-use equipment (Borkowski et al, 2013). Central to Ford's ability to produce an affordable car was the development of the assembly line that increased the efficiency of manufacture and decreased its cost.…”

The Calculation of the Fuel Cost for a Car

“…Fuel costs in the cost structure of freight road transport reach up to 30-35 %. In connection with the increase in prices for energy resources, tightening of requirements for environmental performance of vehicles, the relevance of reducing the fuel consumption of vehicles increases (Bokor, 2012;Borkowski et al, 2013). The vast majority of vehicles buyers in assessing the feasibility of indicators put the fuel consumption in the first place, therefore there is a need of evaluation of fuel consumption of the vehicle and the search of ways of its reduction (Ildarkhanov, 2015;2018;Ildarkhanov et al, 2015).…”
