Conceptual Bases of the Methodology of Setting and Accounting Time Norms for Cargo Processing of Rolling-Stock in Transport Nodal Points

Abstract

Setting time norms for the cargo processing of vehicles is, undoubtedly, urgent for all participants of not only transshipment, but also cargo delivery in the logistic chain “from door to door”. At the stage of consent in managing transshipment the key role is paid by the task, connected with setting compromise time norms for vehicles processing. The interpretation of time norms for vehicles processing as the most important parameter of the coordinated management of transshipment is conditioned by the fact that just this parameter influences other transshipment indicators. So, the determination of time norms for vehicles processing must be based on the idea of determining the duration of loading-unloading ships (carriages) as a function of transmission capacity of cargo fronts. Today the problem is to determine the technological line’s productivity, because it is interpreted as a determined value in the transport science. At the same time under conditions of real production it is observed that the technological line’s productivity varies in a certain diapason, so, time intervals for loading-unloading ships and carriages must be identified with factual realization of time norms for vehicles processing and interpreted as random variables. Certain values of time norms for vehicles processing are considered as a base for consent between interested subjects of transport nodal points that act as partners and market competitors at the same time at organizing and realizing transshipment
