Food product transportation is one of the most problematic tasks considering the specific expectations in the context of the transport conditions. It seems to be a significant challenge for the freight carriers’ decision-makers. The proper organization and management of that process is the basis for the appropriate fulfilment of the needs of customers, related, among others, to the proper quality of delivered products (such as freshness, expiration date, etc.). The additional challenge in this context is the efficient delivery at the city area, taking into account typical city transportation problems, such as congestion, narrow ways, lack of the unloading areas, etc. The role of these tasks is analyzed in this paper, on the basis of the chosen parameters and technologies of the transportation process. The purpose of this paper is to study the rational freight fleet formation in the case of changing the parameters of material flow in time. It was found that with the other unchanged parameters of material flow, the change in ambient temperature affects the technological process of transportation, the type of vehicle for its movement and the structure of the vehicle fleet. Accordingly, the types of vehicles (tent or insulated) necessary for the movement of certain material flows, which require special conditions for their transportation, have been determined, in compliance with the temperature regime and periods of their use. The organization scenarios of the transport service of the studied distribution processes were proposed, taking into consideration the change in conditions for the transportation of material flow, purchase of insulated semitrailers or their rent. The proposed versions were calculated and evaluated under the given conditions, and based on the net present value, the best of the proposed options was found: the purchase of one insulated semi-trailer while hiring the remaining insufficient insulated vehicles.

“…One of the components of these costs is the costs associated with the delivery. The transportation costs depend on a wide range of indicators and conditions, in particular the strategy of transportation service: using own fleet (purchase), outsourcing, or a certain ratio of both [3]. 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.…”

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.

Development of Generalized Distribution Utility Index in Consumer-Driven Logistics

et al. 2022

In the current conditions of sharp change in demand and instability of markets, there is a need to develop a method and evaluation criterion that would meet the sustainable scenario of a supplying goods system including the consumer-driven concept. The analysis of goods distribution methods showed that to assess the integrated efficiency between the supply system and its end-consumers, it is advisable to apply integrated criterion efficiency—generalized distribution utility. The developed indicator takes into account the profit of the distribution channel (or its participants) and the generalized costs of end users during shopping activity. Based on the proposed indicator, the feasibility of using vehicle capacity is substantiated, which provides the maximum generalized distribution costs value and corresponds to the optimal sustainable distribution in consumer-driven logistics.
