INTERACTION OF TRANSPORT MODES: FEATURES OF SERVICING VEHICLES AT CARGO-HANDLING FACILITIES
Abstract
Introduction. Today, the collaboration of customer requirements and the policy of interaction between elements of the supply chain complicates the processes occurring within the integrated chain. It is difficult to imagine today the supply chain of consumer goods without distributors, distribution centers, wholesale bases. All these supply chain participants perform functions related to the cargo handling process. The availability of cargo-handling facilities in the supply chain can reduce the costs of all participants. The resulting increase in transport performance, such as vehicle load levels, etc., is due to the selection of vehicles of a rational load capacity at the supply chain links upstream and downstream of the cargo-handling facilities. In addition to the economic factors justifying the existence of intermediate points in the supply chain, there is also an environmental component leading to green logistics. Therefore, the research and study of the functioning of cargo-handling facilities requires special attention of researchers. Purpose. This study aims to identify factors affecting the time vehicles spend at cargo-handling facilities. The paper proposes to formalize the processes taking place inside cargo-handling facilities, taking into account the peculiarities and priorities in servicing cargo flows in accordance with the existing requirements of such facilities. Results. By means of analysis of literature sources the methods of formalization of real processes in the maintenance of vehicles at the cargo-handling facilities are revealed. The existing criteria for assessing the functioning of such facilities are analyzed. A methodology for determining the waiting time of service vehicles at cargo-handling facilities is proposed, taking into account the peculiarities of real processes. Conclusions. The methodology for determining the time of stay of vehicles in cargo-handling facilities is proposed. Analysis of the activities of cargo-handling facilities showed that there is a relative priority in servicing vehicles. The obtained results are of interest both for carriers in matters of transport planning and for cargo-handling facilities.
