Improving the efficiency of the transport and logistics sector

2008

The basic aim of this treatise is to research into relevant features of the multimodal transportation chains, their advantages and disadvantages as well as the problems of the sinchronization of work of all participants in multimodal transport. With the development of information technology the method of optimisation of the multimodal transportation chains is more and more based on the computer programs being representative tools in solving of the comprehensive tasks. It is believed that the present research, the methodology applied and its findings, should promote and improve the multimodal transportation chains in order to cope with the complex contemporary logistic demands of global economy.

The movement of people, animals and goods from one place to another is generally defined as Transportation. Transportation systems form integral building blocks for a modern society. Transporting goods from one location to another is difficult as it takes lot of time & effort. The operation of transportation determines the efficiency of moving products. The progress in management such as delivering goods in time with speed, maintaining service quality, computing the operation costs, managing the usage facilities, improvement in moving load and saving energy are all the crucial aspect of transportation. Transportation takes a crucial part in the manipulation of logistic. Looking at the current condition, there is a need of strong system that has a clear picture of logistics and techniques to link the producing procedures. The objective of the paper is to define the role of transportation in logistics for the reference of further improvement. The research is focused on handling and un...

This article discusses the current trends in transport in the European Union, paying special attention to the plan to create a single European transport area, striving to achieve a competitive and resource-efficient transport system. Design/methodology/approach: Using the methods of literature analysis and document analysis, the assumptions of the common transport policy, sustainable development of European transport, applicable legal regulations were analyzed. White Paper on transport in the European Union. Findings: It was agreed that a single European transport area should facilitate the movement of citizens and goods, reduce its costs and ensure the sustainable development of European transport, the main directions of transport policy include revitalization of the railway sector. Research limitations/implications: It has been shown that focusing on the following problems: increasing the competitiveness of railways, including modern technologies in the transport system, introducing a port policy, producing more biofuels, reducing urban traffic and introducing charges for the use of infrastructure are factors for achieving the competitiveness of the European transport system. Practical implications: The practical implications of the presented and analyzed issues are related to IT support for transport, logistics companies, internet technology, internet exchanges and support for IT systems of railway carriers. Trends in the transport of general cargo, road and bulk materials occurring in the EU were pointed out. Advantages and disadvantages of general cargo in transport were pointed out. Social implications: This article considers original that transport enables economic growth and job creation. The development of transport must be sustainable. As a global sector, effective action in this area requires close international cooperation. The Single European Transport Area should facilitate the movement of citizens and goods, reduce its costs and ensure the sustainable development of European transport. Originality/value: The article is addressed primarily to logistics and transport organizers.

The product logistics covers all phases of the production cycle from raw material supply to storage in warehouses. Logistics remains a cross-cutting function in closing relationship of the other enterprise functions that making it difficult to specify its place within the organizational structure. Logistics has an important role for the enterprise because about 87% of the product time is in one place is actually used to move and store it. Logistics aims to involve the integration of flow control in the enterprise strategy. This paper aims some solutions which allow to reduce the logistics costs of the enterprise and may improve the logistics services' performence, also.

In the article methodical foundations of transport services logistics management of cargo owners were realized, on the basis of integrated estimation of economic efficiency of holistic progressive logistic chain operation of cargo delivery. In the making of the study, the authors have identified the provision of logistic management conditions by production and mainline rail transport in carrying out transportations. In the successful implementation of finished product loading and arriving cargo processing plans, clear interaction of all logistics chain elements is an important factor, achieved on the basis of introduction of a stable cargo train schedule at sections and the submission of local operation organization in nodes, at sections and stations. On the basis of modelling possible variants of different parameters ratios of the logistic interaction process of production with mainline rail transport, it was determined that at different parameters ratios results can be obtained th...

From urban freight transportation to city logistics Before the 80’s, the urban traffic due to freight transportation did not had an important impact to road congestion and air pollution in urban areas. Moreover, public authorities ’ actions in urban freight transportation policy and planning were limited to specific measures to deal with emergencies. With urban traffic increasing, and the raise of congestion not only in big but also in medium cities, some public administrations were confronted with the problem of urban freight distribution, that was managed traditionally only by the transportation carriers. In the 90’s and the beginning of the 21 th century, with the contribution of public administrations and other support funds, several studies and pilot tests have been made to learn how to organise urban freight distribution in order to decrease traffic and pollution derived from this sector. Most of these studies are oriented to support public authorities in decisions related to ...

Digital Transformation is current burning process in the logistics industry not only in Uzbekistan but in the whole World as well. Every day, innovative and cutting-edge technologies are being developed to streamline products to the real customers as quick as possible. Likewise, Logistics companies are encountering largescale automation of corporate information system and trying to be more resistant in the competitive market with the help of digitalization. In spite of the existence of myriads of research works in this field, there are still a bit uncertainty in understanding the essence and employing the digitalization in Logistics and Transportation. This article reflects the news and information on the development of digital logistics and transport in the process of globalization, and thus shows how to adapt the concept of information and communication technologies and modern logistics to the new digital economy in our country based on foreign experience.

The article presents a general approach to logistics network design for logistics system of Poland in aspect of comodality. The main tasks realized by this network and its functions in cargo flow were defined. Special attention was paid to transport co-modality. Starting from the concept of co-modality the main principles for a national logistics network were defined.

Holland and Japan, like other countries, are confronted with a growing need for freight transport. Although multimodal transportation modes will gain more market share in the future, the scenarios for the next decades still predict a continuous growth of truck transport. Therefore, reducing congestion problems and their negative environmental impacts seems to be an important goal for the local governments of both countries. Next to these reductions, improving the quality of the living environment is also a common goal for the governments in the field of City Logistics. Various policy measures are taken by the local authorities to satisfy some of these goals. With the 'Shared Trucking programme' the Japanese government is directly interfering in the use of co-operative freight transport systems. Also the Dutch government is interfering with the raising of public centres, the City Distribution Centres, set up according to the long-term program for traffic and transport in the ...
