EFFICIENCY CRITERIA OF TRANSPORT AND LOGISTICS SYSTEMS

Abstract

For the English full text of the article please see the attached PDF-File (English version follows Russian version).ABSTRACT Reducing costs in material flow of goods as a result of optimization of parameters of cargo movement in automotive transport and logistics systems requires the development of a mathematical apparatus, adapted to the task. Its most complete solution can be obtained if the problem is considered as multi-criteria. The article presents a formalized structure of criteria, allowing to optimize the interaction of objects of the logistics infrastructure of transport and warehouse services and freight road transportation. The choice of criteria for efficiency of the transport and logistics system (TLS) is based on effective indicators, which in turn are determined taking into account the indicators of the use of the means of production in certain conditions of the operating environment. The criteria system considered in the article is a decomposition of the hierarchy of TLS criteria that determine the organization of freight road transportation (FRT) and functioning of transport and storage complexes (TSC). The choice of performance criteria is based on the effective indicators of FRT and TSC, which in turn take into account the indicators of the use of means of production in the conditions of the environment of operation. Integration of FRT and TSC criteria into a single structure allows to solve multiple tasks. Keywords: transport and logistics system, road freight transportation, transport and warehouse complex, management, efficiency criteria, performance indicators, operating environment, indicators of the use of means of production.
