Abstract

Research background: Economic relations, which are formed under conditions of uncertainty and instability of the surrounding, require highly efficient techniques of engineering logistics activities. The high competitiveness on the logistics market forced to search new technologies that would give advantages over competitors. One of these advantages could be the decreasing of the transport service cost. The logistics activity, with the collaborative management of the complex of transport and logistics systems, is not well understood. The issues of the effectiveness of using various technologies in servicing a complex of logistics systems have not been sufficiently addressed. The effectiveness of horizontal collaboration of individual participants of various logistics systems to achieve common goals has not been fully studied. Lack of an unequivocal scientific justification and relevant practical developments determined the choice of the research topic and its relevance. Purpose of the article: The aim of the paper is to identify patterns of influence of horizontal collaboration on efficiency of several supply chains. Methods: The article used modelling of transportation process without horizontal collaboration – traditional one and with it. Invest indicators for assess collaborative and separated effectiveness of several supply chains were used. Findings & Value added: The use of horizontal collaboration technology leads to a synergistic effect: reducing the total number of vehicles required to service several supply chains; increased performance indicators. The patterns of the influence of technological parameters of the transport process on the effectiveness of horizontal transport collaboration are revealed.

Highlights

Constant aggravation of competition forces market participants to find ways to reduce the cost of goods and services while maintaining their quality and service level [1]
3.1 Formation of a fleet of road vehicles based on the technology of horizontal collaboration
Based on a comprehensive analysis of modern research of science and practice on the functioning of the logistics management of a transport company, it was found that the role and place of joint transport services of several material flows in the overall system of logistics activities are not scientifically substantiated

Summary

Introduction

Constant aggravation of competition forces market participants to find ways to reduce the cost of goods and services while maintaining their quality and service level [1]. Logistics cost represents a significant share in the value of the goods [2]. One of the components of these costs is the costs associated with the delivery. The question of the formation of a fleet, its updating and maintenance, belongs to the range of issues of technical support of the logistics system. These issues do not misplace their relevance as they are crucial for the development and economic performance of the vehicle and logistics system [4]
