LOGISTICS magazine will be presented at the event, we invite you to our stand C309, where you can get acquainted with the latest issue of the magazine and find out the terms of cooperation with the editorial office.
New requirements are formed on development of logistic technologies. Integration of instruments of the multimodal transporting is needed with the processes of life cycle of products. Actual is a decision of problem providing of transportation on the criterion of safety of chain of supplying with loads.
Key words. Informatively logistic technologies, multimodal transportations, safety of chain of deliveries.
In this paper we present some principles of packing algorithms with heuristic quality functionals, developed and implemented in various enterprises by “Packer 3d”.
Key words. Algorithm, packing, optimization, heuristic functionality logistician.
This paper describes an approach to design a network of distribution centers in the Russian Federation. Cluster and ABC-analysis methods were used to determine regions to locate international logistic centers along major transport routes. Considering the base regional social and economic indicators we show the positions of the most effective placement of centers.
In article thecondition of infrastructure of the Caspian region and alternative routes of transportation of the Caspian oil investigated.
Key words. Logistic infrastructure, оilterminal, pipeline, oiltransportation, Caspian region, investment.
The article describes the features of the construction of inter-operation of logistics systems for the highly automated production unit, in which the industrial robot serving multiple concurrent pieces of equipment. The result of logistic solutions, which belongs to a class of intractable combinatorial problems, is to provide uninterrupted service robot manufacturing equipment.
Key words. Highly automated production structure, flexible automation of production, the system of inter-operational logistics, industrial robot, distributed information system, proportional operation, combinatorial problem, an approximate method of solution.
There is lot of features of determination of quality of logistic process with the systems of the satellite monitoring, to ignore that does not cost. To the number basic it is possible to take: 1) this process is not an industrial product, therefore his quality difficult enough to define; 2) properties, qualificatory quality of process, must be meaningful, first of all, for the customer; 3) the quality is not an absolute value, and therefore may be considered, depending on specific requirements, so the assessment of the quality of transportation process with the use of satellite monitoring is a comparison of the requirements and wishes of the customer with real possibilities; 4) quality means meeting the requirements and expectations of the customer at the current time.
Key words. Quality of transportation process, systems of the satellite monitoring, determination of quality of transportation process.
Restructuring of OAO “Russian Railways” significantly improved the turnover of rolling stock, speed of delivery. The number of thrombus in the network increases. Wagons surplus and plenty of operators don’t improve as expected reformers situation and significantly complicate it. Compensation of the problems lies in the way of coherent planning and supply chain management in a model of inter-organizational logistics coordination.
Key words. Railways reform, inter-organizational logistics coordination, holistical approach, high traffic intensity, through management the flow of product, turnover of rolling stock, the speed of delivery.
At the particular article, we describe a business case of Lean system implementation for major energy company of Ukraine. Described strategic change program based on Lean instruments for 10 power plants, 30 coalmines, and 4 regional distribution companies. Provided description of key issues, solutions, and benefits of Lean implementation for group of companies. Current approach of Lean Six Sigma practical tools can be implemented in production companies of Russia and CIS with cultural specifics and production to increase production efficiency, ecology of production and safety environment. This topic helps to develop cost-cutting initiatives and implement cultural change, and thus is highly relevant for modern ex-Soviet Union companies.
Key words. Lean production, Lean Six Sigma, continuous improvement, implementation of production system, holding, group of companies, cost-cutting, cultural change.
