Abstract
Creating supply chain involving the customs infrastructure facilities is an urgent topic when shipping cargo internationally. The most in demand are cargo customs complexes, which have in their structure customs storerooms, warehouses of temporary storage, perform freight-forwarding, and customs-brokerage and other functions that are necessary to perform foreign economic activity. Also there are subdivisions of customs authorities on their territory. This type of business activity provides the business entities with the comprehensive service and enables them to reduce the time spent moving to each of the necessary control services or logistics facilities when moving cargoes in different customs regimes. Therefore, it is proposed to apply the concept of logistics chain reliability with a freight customs complex as its element. The latter will take into account business entities` financial and time expenditures with non-productive timing at the different transition stages of material flow, and will enable to optimize information flows. The paper considers the procedure of placing imported goods in a temporary storage warehouse. It is proposed the regulation methodology for individual service stages provided by a freight customs complex. The generalized algorithm for constructing a reliability model of a freight customs complex`s operation is offered allowing to determine the reliability level of each individual element in a logistics chain.
Highlights
Cargo customs complexes are located throughout the country, have different levels of technical, technological and organizational support, as well as the capacity that is limited by the available space to enter its territory to be served or the possibility to store goods in the required volumes and for a specified time
It is necessary to determine the reliability of the logistics chain, which will be in compliance with the delivery time, to ensure the safety of cargo and to prevent the additional costs of the parties to the foreign trade contract due to unprofessional or illegal actions of third parties
The reliability of the supply chain is important as a factor determining the costs and actual delivery time of cargo, and as a factor determining the level of logistics service of the providing it company
Summary
Cargo customs complexes are located throughout the country, have different levels of technical, technological and organizational support, as well as the capacity that is limited by the available space to enter its territory to be served or the possibility to store goods in the required volumes and for a specified time. Waiting time for service or arranging additional terms of cooperation will adversely affect the efficiency of the logistics chain and lead to losses and disruption of delivery timeframes, as these aspects are not subject to regulation and forecasting The relevance of this topic is the effective planning and management of supply chains, taking into account financial losses that can be caused by unplanned downtime or unproductive use of time in performing foreign economic activities. These time losses can be caused by the lack of business entities’ professional approach, which are links in the logistics chain in their duties under the terms of the service contract, queues for customs clearance at internal customs and when crossing the state border. It is necessary to determine the reliability of the logistics chain, which will be in compliance with the delivery time, to ensure the safety of cargo and to prevent the additional costs of the parties to the foreign trade contract due to unprofessional or illegal actions of third parties
