Abstract

The use of methodological techniques for choosing the route of cargo delivery during intermodal traffic of containerized cargo based on construction of the network schedule for transportation in supply chains is considered. The basis of the network schedule, each of the paths of which corresponds to certain ways of cargo delivery by different modes of transport and their combinations, is the sequential summation of work from the initial event of formation of the consignment to the final event - its delivery to the final consumer. Each work allows you to take into account two important indicators corresponding to the time and cost of its execution, and the full path allows you to determine the present cost of cargo transportation and the lost benefit in the delivery process associated with the duration of the cargo in transit. This algorithm is demonstrated by the example of the transportation of house-hold appliances by different modes of transport on the Shanghai - Moscow route. As a generalizing determinant of the choice of the priority direction of transportation, a summary indicator is used, minimizing time, cost and present value under conditions of uncertainty, taking into account the criteria of Laplace, Wald, Savage and Hurwitz. The presented algorithm serves as a tool that allows decision makers, participants in the transportation process and other concerned parties (owners of infrastructure and rolling stock, freight forwarding and operator companies, cargo owners) to reliably assess the effectiveness of transportation options in supply chains and adequately respond to possible shifts in changing conditions throughout the period of fulfillment of contractual obligations.
