Heading:PROBLEMS AND OPINIONS

On optimization of the region's logistics infrastructure

The paper discusses the problem of improving the logistics infrastructure of the regions of the Russian Federation. The problems of optimization of the warehouse and transport infrastructure of the region are considered, mathematical models of the corresponding elements of the logistics infrastructure are explored. An approach to solving optimization problems is proposed.

Key words. Logistical infrastructure, regional warehouse network, transport infrastructure, continuous relaxation, separable programming, branch and bound method.

Study on effects of the accepted Incoterms basic terms of delivery and financial procedures in foreign trade activities on the "in time delivery"

In present article were considered the financial interactions factors under contract in international transport communication and factors influence on terms of delivery choice. The terms of delivery decision-making algorithm, recommendation under terms of payment (specific example) and corresponding conclusions were developed by author.

Key words. Incoterms 2010, financial interaction of foreign trade activity, delivery in time, analysis of factors influencing the choice of delivery conditions.

Comments on the article by A.N. Lisenkov “On the assessment of the logistics companies performance based on the model of the company production function”

On the assessment of the logistics companies performance based on the model of the company production function

The questions assess the activities of logistics companies from the standpoint of quality, efficiency and Economics based on the proposed model of the production function in the form of a convex upward monotonous dependence with saturation, approximated by a hyperbola. Proposed procedure for determining the economically justified level of effort of the company for the provision of transport services, as well as methods of multi-criteria evaluation and selection strategy for improvement of logistics activities, using method of hierarchy analysis.

Acceleration of material flow in the intralogistics system as a key driver for the enterprise competitiveness growth

The article highlights the importance of intralogistics, allowing companies to use internal reserves to increase its competitiveness. It suggests and describes methods for accelerating the material flow in enterprise intralogistics system.

Key words. Material flow, enterprise intralogistics system, logistics procedure/operation, mixed system, quality, customization point, postponement.

Analysis of criteria for choosing the logistics services providers by small business representatives
