The variety of supply chain design: from a standard typology to a relational pragmatism
Get PDFSupply chain management is at the heart of business strategy. The types of goods delivered are extremely varied and the way to deliver the final consumer is more and more complex. Moreover, the relations between players within the supply chain take multiple shapes and have inevitably an impact on its design. This arena of complexity leads companies to use diverse kinds of relational approaches. But the relational view is itself a large field of study and a recent trend in supply chain management. It can be focuses on joint planning, coordination, and process integration between suppliers, customers, and other partners in a supply chain. Its benefits include cost reductions, an increasing reliability and a strong responsiveness to market needs. In addition, managing a sustainable supply chain involves today additional parameters like CO2 emissions reduction, energy consumption decrease, eradication of traffic congestion problems and the need for a better traceability. Besides, recent progresses in inter-companies’ communication technologies along with a growing use of strategic partnering, has resulted in a large variety of alternative information systems approaches for supporting a collaborative supply chain management. Helped by theories and based on empirical data from specific cases companies, this exploratory and conceptual research shows the relative influence of various specific environments on the coordination of logistics flows, with a focus on relationships between different players. This work analyzes diverse types of supply chains and gives a framework confronted with some examples showing how different players create new models of logistics organization in particular situations
The Concept of Intermodal Shipment Terminal as a Complement of Transport Logistic Network for the Wrocław Agglomeration
Get PDFWroclaw agglomeration is presented in the structure of the national and international transport system as well as directions of development of basic transport modes in Wroclaw. The situation of intermodal transport in Poland against the background of Europe and other countries was presented. Attention was drawn to the technical and technological problems of existing intermodal transport terminals in the Wroclaw agglomeration. The economic premises of the International Logistic Centre in Wrocław and the concepts of the Centre’s construction are discussed. The PKP PLK Wroclaw Osobowice station was proposed as the location of the Logistic Centre, whose main technological element is the intermodal transport terminal
ORGANIZATION OF TRANSPORT AND STORAGE PROCESSES IN LOGISTICS ENTERPRISES FUNCTIONING IN THE ŁÓDŹ REGION – STUDY RESULTS.
Get PDFThe objective of this article is to try to determine the levels of implementation and use of modern technologies in selected areas of internal transport and storage. This is primarily due to the very high dynamics of the environment and the increasing level of customer centricity that forces companies to systematically search for new, innovative and competitive solutions, particularly in the logistics chain. Such solutions are particularly desirable in strategic areas of logistics, that is: storage and handling. Hence, modern companies are increasingly more often deciding to implement state-of-the-art solutions that would not only improve the functioning of the entire organization, but first and foremost would bring about competitive advantage on the market
A PROGNOSTIC MODEL OF DIESEL FUEL CONSUMPTION FOR RAILBUSES
Get PDFIn this article, a model for prediction of diesel fuel consumption by railbuses is presented. In order to create the model, results of measurements of the average fuel consumption of eight dual mode railbuses of type X (manufactured by the same producer) are used. The usefulness of the indicators method in additive and multiplicative version is assessed. For both models, the percentage share of the trend, seasonality, and irregular (random) components are analysed and the results for the multiplicative version are given
Developing a timetable for radiant and circular transport organization with implementation of the Transportation Requirements Planning method
Get PDFSummary This paper contains the results of preliminary research on the use of the Transportation Requirements Planning method to develop a timetable for radial and circular transport organization. It begins with a discussion on the method of Transportation Requirements Planning. Then the problem of developing a timetable in radial and circular transport is formulated. Successively results obtained by applying of the Transportation Requirements Planning method to develop the timetable under assumed conditions are presented. The summary and discussion of the perspectives for further research are the final part of the paper.
Webster’s delay formula revision by M+/G+/1 queuing model usage
Get PDFWebster’s delay model has been first time published almost 60 years ago (exactly in 1958). Next year will be a round anniversary. It became an occasion to verify the model. The method described in the paper discusses thesis of general shifted distribution of service times. Proposes delay model allows to use variance of service time as one of the parameters of a traffic flow at signalized intersection
THE EFFICIENCY OF THE TASKS OF TRANSPORT SERVICES IN THE FMCG SECTOR
Get PDFSummaryFood sector is omnipresent in modern world. It plays a major role in business. Food sector is determined, above all, by lower prices and high quality. Products must be frequently provided in stores. Customers have great expectations in terms of the delivery and availability. Most important are short-term orders realisation and flexible services. The main aim of the paper is to consider two different distribution systems. The reason of this consideration is to identify, which of the distribution systems is more effective
SELECTED ISSUES OF TRANSPORT SAFETY
Get PDFThe basic requirement for any system is its flawless operation under all conditions. In technical systems, this requirement is increasingly implemented by using technically more advanced and reliable equipment. However, this does not diminish the role of man on whose management is dependent and also on the safe operation of systems. In the transport system and theirs transport systems strong emphasis must be placed on especially security. Safe and reliable transportation determines the viability of the entire company.
Changing data in tachograph’s recording: a case study
Get PDFThe purpose of this article is to show how important it is to respect the rules of road safety related to the work of drivers and what are the consequences of breaking them. The problem of the manipulation of working time is widely discussed as it contributes to creating dangerous situations for not only operators but also other road users. On the basis of the questionnaire investigation the most popular methods of changing data in analogue and digital recording equipment are described. On the basis of them, technological and organizational changes are proposed in the existing transport system
POLISH RAILWAY SAFETY PERFORMANCE IN 2016
Get PDFIn comparison, railways are the safest mode of land transport, not only regarding pure safety performance indicators but also considering external costs to society and member state.As for polish railways, the year 2016 was the safest since 2008 even despite the growth of the railway market.There are still element’s that need to be taken care of such as continuous improvement of safety culture so that there can be a consistency in safety statistics and improvement of total safety performance. Another main aspect is the analysis of human factor with the involvement of professionals in the area of human performance since it seems that current activities are insufficient.Authors would like to summarise this short article regarding railway safety performance that undoubtedly, railways are constantly the mass transport mode to choose regarding the safety of travel
