Adaptation of the “7 Rights” Model to Education of Logistics Engineers
Get PDFThe article presents the authors’ original concept concerning the “7R” model in education of engineers of logistics at the higher education level with practical profile. The concept is based on classic optimizing solutions used in logistics processes. The paper tries to reorganize the education system of logisticians and adjust it to the needs of the labour market by applying innovative solutions, which activate all the system’s stakeholders at the same time and leve
The Determinants of the Development of the Sea-Land Transport Chains in the Second Decade of the 21st Century
Get PDFThe intersectoral integration which meets the requirements of the transport sector clients is one of the most important trends observed in the modern transport system. At the quantitative level sea transport, which is the main component of the sea-land transport chains, accounts for handling of 80% of the world trade and at its value level it accounts for 70% of the world trade. The article aims at identifying, systematizing and analysing the most important determinants of the development of the sea-land transport chains in the second decade of the 21st century
Multiplication of Air Accidents Frequency and Hazard Desirability Coefficients for ICAO Safety Risk Tolerability Matrix Solution
Get PDFUsing mathematical method of priorities arrangement, also known as problem “about leader”, air accidents frequency and hazard desirability coefficients were found. Those coefficients are proposed by ICAO for safety risk tolerability matrix solution. Integral index of mentioned parameters combinations hazard is found with help of Harrington desirability function. Risk levels determination index is introduced for researched matrix
Alliance of Marine Container Carriers - Back to the Cartels
Get PDFThis paper indicates the repetition of the formation of alliances of shipping companies exhibiting characteristics of cartelization, i.e. the division of markets, well-known from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The article analyzes the cause of the emergence of cartels in the nineteenth century, and points out the repetition of the same causes to the formation of alliances regarding sea container carriers as a result of the economic crisis of 2007
Innovative Solutions for Partial Overhaul of Bituminous Roads Using SPRIDER
Get PDFThe vast majority of roads in Poland have asphalt pavement. Often these were surfaces designed and made in 80s. Today, many of these roads are in operation under much greater traffic and exceeded load design values. This results in degradation and destruction of the road surface. Due to the large backlog of road repairs and many years of negligence regarding road infrastructure resulting from financial constraints of road managers, an urgent need arose to repair several kilometers of asphalt roads, colloquially speaking, at the drop of a hat. Resurfacing and overhauls were first performed on national roads and, to a limited extent, on the roads of lower functional classes. Technologies currently used leave much to be desired in terms of quality and economy. One way to reduce the cost of labor and contracting, while increasing the quality of the work, is to search for solutions using new technologies. Those using SPRIDER are certainly innovative. This paper presents this technology compared to those commonly used and the very system for evaluating thecondition of roads and classifying them for repairs
Factors Determining the Selection of a Logistic Operator
Get PDFThe aim of the article is to present and analyze major groups of factors that are considered by companies when selecting a logistic operator, and to demonstrate how a given factor influences the quality of performed tasks. It systemises factors and analyses more closely those which are currently of biggest importance in the process of time and costs optimization in logistic processes from the point of view of both a logistic operator and a customer. It shows also some solutions which may be helpful when selecting external Contractor for service
Public Logistics and Its Possible Application in Local Government Administration
Get PDFThe steady increase in public sector spending on the purchase of goods and services in public procurement is more noticeable. The aim of this article is to present the possibility of optimization of the public logistic and to show its potential areas of application. The examples of the application of public logistics presented in this paper show its great importance and justify its rapid growth. The development of the public logistics is a consequence of the increase in range of public duties realized by local authorities and the growth private sector involvement in this sphere of activity
