Heading:PROBLEMS AND OPINIONS

The concept and content of non-commercial logistics (Part 1)

In this article it tackles the issues of non-profit-making logistic activities, its concept and content. Also it treats a question about difference between non-profit-making and traditional profit-making logistics. In addition the concept of non-profit-making logistics is confirmed by real examples of providing consumers with products of industrial purpose and consumer goods.

Key words. Non-profit-making logistics, government procurement, state reserve, assistance to refugees, housekeeping.

Modification of M. Porter’s concept on the basis of financial logistics tools

In the article the author's method of building an efficient value chain, based on the well-known concept of the value of M. Porter. Its novelty lies in the active involvement of the financial logistics unit.

Key words. Value chain, supply chain, financial flow.

Improving the railway sector functioning efficiency in the Russian Federation

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.

Quality assessment tools to monitor the transportation process with the use of satellite traffic monitoring systems

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.

Formation of the inter-operational logistics system for highly automated production structure

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.

Features of the multi-criteria optimization procedures of supply chains for generalized selection criteria (Part 2)

The paper investigates the specific features of new format of the procedures for determining the best solution to solve multicriteria optimization problems in the supply chain. This format includes: 1) modifying indicators of the particular criteria considering the corresponding attitude of decision maker (DM) to them and their importance for DM; 2) the selection on the basis of the criteria of traditional theory. The paper proves that the use of generalized selection criteria ensures stability of alternatives ranking to a change in preferences of DM on the importance of partial criteria.

Functional and process approach to execution of orders when servicing the customers (Part 2)

In the article authors compare two fundamental approaches to order fulfillment. First one is traditional functional approach where «order management» is a logistics function. On the other hand, process centric approach considers “order fulfillment” like key business process in supply chain management. Researchers investigate typical problems in core steps of order fulfillment process and its key performance indicators.

Import substitution in a mirror of patent logistics

In this article the elements of patent logistics concerning the entering and leaving material patent streams in the form of applications and patents for inventions and useful models are considered. These streams reflect the innovative potential of the Russian economy and its opportunity to pass to import substitution.

Key words. Results of intellectual activity, material and patent streams, applications and patents for objects of patent rights import substitution.

Features of the multi-criteria optimization procedures of supply chains for generalized selection criteria (Part 1)

The paper investigates the specific features of new format of the procedures for determining the best solution to solve multicriteria optimization problems in the supply chain. This format includes: 1) modifying indicators of the particular criteria considering the corresponding attitude of decision maker (DM) to them and their importance for DM; 2) the selection on the basis of the criteria of traditional theory. The paper proves that the use of generalized selection criteria ensures stability of alternatives ranking to a change in preferences of DM on the importance of partial criteria.

Optimization of transport and warehouse systems using simulation models (Part 2)

The article explains the practical methods for solving of optimization problems in transport and storage systems using their simulation models. The features of transport and storage systems models development and application, and an example of the optimizing the complex suspended monorail conveyor problem solving are described in this article.

Key words. Transport and storage systems, computer simulation, search methods for optimization.
