Optimization of transport activity of industrial enterprises in the Arctic region based on logistics solutions

Abstract

Functioning and development of industrial enterprises operating in the Arctic conditions depends largely on organized and well-coordinated work of all the links in the supply chain. The lack of the year-round transport infrastructure in the regions of the Arctic zone significantly increases the transport costs of the enterprise. When solving these problems, it is necessary to improve the accuracy of planning, analysis and assessment of the logistics processes of supply, storage and transportation of material flows of the enterprise. The application of logistic methods for solving problems allows developing rational schemes for the delivery of goods, which can have a positive impact on the economic results of the company’s transport activities. The authors consider a method for solving the Make-or-Buy problem (MOB - “to make or buy”), when in terms of logistics service purchase other options with intermediary vehicles are considered as alternatives in order to minimize costs.

Differentiation of normative standards of budgetary appropriations for the maintenance of winter roads in the North of Russia

“…Egorova T.P. made efforts to adapt standard models of vehicles for operation under Arctic conditions and to introduce cross-country transport machines have unraveled a number of challenging issues in the complex cycle of developing a vehicle and delivering it to consumer [7][8][9].…”

Federal and regional standards for highways maintenance and repair costs

“…Issues of regional de-differentiation of the cost of work (services) and goods, including road construction, are considered in the following works [2][3][4][5][6][7]. The methodological basis of the study was based on scientific works [8][9][10], justifying the influence of the factors of cost increasing in capital repairs of the regional road network, taking into account transport accessibility and remoteness from the local centres of the transport system. There are various techniques and methodological approaches to calculating the standards of monetary costs for the maintenance of highways [11][12][13], including taking into account the turnaround time [14], the cost of maintaining special road equipment (fuel, spare parts, repairs) [15] and others [16].…”
