Heading:PROBLEMS AND OPINIONS

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.

Functional and process approach to execution of orders when servicing the customers (Part 1)

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.

Comments to the article by L. Kuznetsov «Formalization of the regulations of transport operations in the logistics system»

Formalization of the regulations of transport operations in the logistics system

The basis for an effective solution of problems of logistics systems is its formal description which allows the use of the mathematical apparatus of the theory of management. The article described a formal method of the description of the transport structure of the logistics system. Description allows the automatically synthesize a formal model of moving entities in the logistics system.

Key words. Logistic system, formal description, transport structure, moving entities.

Logistics as a tool pairing of mega-projects: the development of the Eurasian economic Union and economic belt «Silk road»

This article deals with logistics as a means to form a united economic space and provides with the main features of its components. It demonstrates that reorientation of business activity to the Asia Pacific region is to be accompanied by changes in the logistical supply chains, creation of new and more efficient routes for goods delivery, as well as by the definition of interaction points to connect the EAEU and the Silk Road Economic Belt.

The methodological principles of forming regional logistic clusters

In the article we analyze principles of organization, management and functioning of business entities and various associations. We generalize systematization, classification and additions and propose fundamental principles of formation of regional logistics clusters.

Key words. Organizational-structural, technological, functional, economic, and regulatory principles.

The impact of tariffs on the cost of cargo delivery by different modes of transport

In the article, the largest in Russia and in the world of automaker Volkswagen, analyzes the market of sales. The calculation of the full cost of delivery of cars of different transportation technologies, with a factory in Kaluga to the regional dealers within the last three years. And recommendations for improving the system of tariffs for the railway, which will increase competition in the industry.

Key words. Road transport, railway transport, shipping, logistics, railway tariff

From M2M to IoT: evolution through synergy
