Abstract
We propose a model for the formation of international logistics chains based on an integrated multicriterial analysis of potential cargo transportation routes and delivery cost. The application of the systemic approach when planning a delivery helps to ensure rational allocation and efficient servicing of traffic flows among the objects along the transportation-logistic network. At the first stage of modeling, the analysis of information about the objects of the transport and logistic system is carried out. We determine the region of efficient use of different modes of transport and construct a set of alternative chains of good delivery. Based on the analysis of the impact factors, the criteria are determined and the constraints are accepted to a given problem for a series of techno-economic, logistical, technological, environmental and other indicators. At the second stage, the multicriterial problem of synthesis (engineering) of the transport and logistics system of delivery is solved. We built an algorithm for the substantiation of effective international multi-modal transport and technological schemes of cargo delivery. The proposed algorithm provides a comprehensive assessment of the cost depending on delivery conditions in accordance with the Incoterms rules and the customs regime. To substantiate the route, the region of effective solutions for a DM is determined, based on solving a problem on the vector optimization for multiple criteria. Formation of effective schemes of cargo delivery from France to Ukraine along the route from Haut-Mauco to the warehouse Agro-Soyuz-Terminal in the city of Dnipro was explored. Based on modeling applying the package of symbolic computations in the programming environment Maple-7, we obtained a full set of compromise solutions to the vector optimization problem for the criteria of cost, delivery time, and ecological impact. We present a comprehensive assessment of the cost of goods delivery in containers using mixed transportation under the Incoterms EXW, CPT delivery conditions (delivery to Dnipro), FOB and CIF, and the customs regime of import and import (warehouse). The proposed model could be applied by transportation, logistic, customs brokering companies when substantiating alternative routes of goods delivery based on a multicriterial analysis of information.
Highlights
To enhance the integration of Ukraine into the world community, it is necessary to develop a system of container cargo transportation and to implement effective mechanisms for integrated logistics management of container freight flows in the international multi-modal transport-logistics chain [2]
Given the current global trends to increase cargo containerization, it is required that Ukraine should holistically improve the transport and logistics system of multi-modal transportation, improve transport-technological delivery schemes of cargoes in containers when mixed transportation is exploited
We present the model of the logistic system of cargo delivery by means of specialized and interpreted multiple structure (1), which is characterized by a hybrid superposition, which includes sets, multi-sets, sorted sets and non-homogeneous sets [47]: M = (N, Σ, Λ), (1)
Summary
To enhance the integration of Ukraine into the world community, it is necessary to develop a system of container cargo transportation and to implement effective mechanisms for integrated logistics management of container freight flows in the international multi-modal transport-logistics chain [2]. Given the current global trends to increase cargo containerization, it is required that Ukraine should holistically improve the transport and logistics system of multi-modal transportation, improve transport-technological delivery schemes of cargoes in containers when mixed transportation is exploited. Scientific and technical progress, trends of globalization and regionalization, and increased security requirements make the containerization of cargo transportation the priority factor of the growth of the international trade and improvement of market relations. The problems of enhancing efficiency and competitiveness of container transportation by rail for the expansion of an existing segment of the transport market are tackled in paper [4]. Not enough attention was paid to the issues of organization of effective multimodal container transportation using different modes of transport
