About practical part of our work and questions

November 7th, 2009

We wished to inform that unfortunately the administration of interprise, which we have chosen for practical part of our work can accept us only after the November, 18th, therefore the first results of practical part we can publish only in 20th dates of November.

And we have a question. Can we can include in our model external factors with which we allocated in the previous post? Our problem consists that we can’t state to them an estimation, but we can suggest to administration estimate to them.

Model of appraisal of “sustainability in logistics”

October 29th, 2009

For appraisal ‘sustainability in logistics’ we work out the model, which consists of these factors:

  • Volume of transported production on a month
  • Park of vehicles;
  • Objects of transport system;
  • Objects of logistical system;
  • The staff, management and the control;
  • Breakdown susceptibility on transport (dependence on qualification and experience of the driver’s personnel).

In our model we have arranged factors in process of reduction of the importance of influence by steady development of the enterprise in logistics. » Read more: Model of appraisal of “sustainability in logistics”

Comments about factors of “sustainability in logistics”

October 28th, 2009

In this post we give the description of the factors resulted in the previous post.

Internal factors of sustainability in logistics:

1. Volume of transported production. Big volume of transportations, in our opinion, positively influences to sustainability in logistics, because:

  • At first, terms of delivery decrease due to a lot of transported production and reduction of terms of expectation of full loading of transport
  • At second, at big volumes of transportations the opportunity of rational use of park of vehicles increases;
  • At third, rational use of transport park allows to supervise volumes of ecological pollution depending on volume of transported cargoes. The note: carrying capacity of transport above, than at motor transport, thus volume of ecological pollution at transport below. » Read more: Comments about factors of “sustainability in logistics”

Factors of “sustainabillity in logistics”

October 28th, 2009

For an estimation of stability in logistics we allocate two groups of factors: external and internal. To internal we carry:
·      Volume of transported production a month;
·      Park of vehicles;
·      Objects of transport system;
·      Objects of logistical system;
·      The staff, management and the control;
·      Breakdown susceptibility on transport;
·      Dependence on qualification and experience of the driver’s personnel.

To external we carry: » Read more: Factors of “sustainabillity in logistics”

Our definition of Sustainability in logistics

October 21st, 2009

There are many of definitions of the term “logistics”. Here some of them:

  • S .O. Migiro and I. M. Ambe in the book«Strategic Logistics Management» gives definition: «logistics management is the process of strategically managing acquisition, movement and storage of materials (inventory) through the organization and its marketing channel in such a way that profitability is maximized through cost effective fulfillment of orders»;
  • In definition of N.B.Lobanov, «logistic – is a science about planning, management and the control over movement material, information and financial resources in various systems »;
  • In B. A. Anikin’s opinion « the logistic -  is a science about planning, the organizations, management and the control of movement of material and information streams over space and over time from their primary source up to the end user »; » Read more: Our definition of Sustainability in logistics
