Realization of the logistic approach in the international cargo delivery system

Abstract: Fierce rivalry in the transport market raises serious reassessment and implementation of new approaches to logistics companies and trade enterprises in marketing of goods. To maintain the volume of domestic sales and output to the external one, producers and trading firms are forced to expand their trade and economic relations that occur in other regions. The integration of the world economy and policy orientation of foreign trade to free trade greatly simplify the task of setting up the free trade and economic connections, but the question is how quickly and efficiently, with the least costs, it is necessary to put the goods in the right region to the customer.In modern market conditions, international container transportation of goods between Ukraine and the European Union countries has a prospect of development, as each year the number of orders in transport and logistics enterprises increases. After analyzing the status of orders, the problem has been detected and widely connected with the method of organization of container cargo delivery in international communication and the formation of rational technology of serviced. To solve this problem a method of logistic approach to the system of containers transportation has been proposed based on the cybernetic model „white box“. The initial stage of its implementation involves formation of the limitation system of input parameters and factors that are consistent with the needs of the customer firm and the company performing transportation. Ten alternative order services schemes, each of which takes into account the possible combinations of operations, has been proposed.Based on the company „Inter Trans Logistic“, which serviced the order of the company „Agricultural Holding August“ for the transportation of rape seeds, 10 tons of corn on demand and a portion of sunflower oil 20,000 liters, according to their applications for transportation, a logistic approach using a cybernetic model „white box“ has been implemented. Based on the mathematical models of changes in the total costs of the international container cargo shipping company of the customer, it has been shown that the maximum expenses are occurring in the implementation of the scheme 1 service order. In that case, the costs have been in the range of 848.72 to 7455.41 US $, according to a certain series of experiments. Based on the condition of the minimum cost function for container transportation, scheme 1 has been chosen as limiting scheme of service order against which the assessment carried out changes of the total costs in the implementation of other schemes. In percentage display according to Scheme 1, the following percentage intervals have been deducted for the reduction of sales costs: Scheme 2 - 12.70 to 34.98%; Scheme 3 - 2.93 to 12.00%; Scheme 4 - 2.06 to 10.88%; Scheme 5 - 1.69 to 4.25%; Scheme 6 - 0.87 to 3.28%; scheme7 - 0.97 to 2.58%; Scheme 8 - 1.64 to 4.45%; Scheme 9 - 2.66 to 11.77%; scheme 10 - 2.33 to 9.94%.The results of experimental studies indicate that when the proposed methodology of the logistic approach, using the „white box“ based on the company „Inter Trans Logistic“ to international container transportation of goods in relation to the application of the company „Agricultural Holding August“ for transportation, the scheme 2 sequence of transport operations has been effective. In its realization the costs for 12.70 to 34.98% has been decreased in comparison with the marginal service scheme.

Substantiation of diagnostic parameters for determining the technical condition of transmission assemblies in trucks

Abstract: We have conducted a selection of diagnostic parameters to control technical condition of the gear box. Development of technical operation of transportation vehicles is aimed at examining and predicting a technical condition with the formation of a rational diagnostic base being a key direction. Solving the tasks in a given scientific-technical field was based on the theory of relative sensitivity. This involved a theoretically substantiated relationship between diagnostic parameters and the indicators of reliability for the assemblies of transportation vehicles based on their parametric dependence that we proposed. The implementation of theoretical research was conducted by determining a technical condition based on the express diagnosis of transmission oil in the gear box of the family of trucks KamAZ. We have performed express control and examined the working transmission oil for the following parameters: alkaline number, the content of mechanical impurities, dielectric permittivity. The dependences of their change on the run of transportation vehicles were obtained, as well as the corresponding criteria of sensitivity over different intervals of the run. We selected diagnostic parameters and formed a rational base using the criterion of relative sensitivity, establishing the run and the required diagnostic parameters. Control over diagnostical parameters of the gear box should be executed for the following indicators: the content of mechanical impurities in transmission oil – within intervals of 0…12 and 48…60 thousand km of the run; the dielectric permittivity of oil should be controlled within 48…60 thousand km of the run; the alkaline number of transmission oil should be controlled within 12…24 and 48…60 thousand km of the run of the examined transportation vehicles. Based on the compiled rational diagnostic base, it is possible to run an analysis and predict technical condition of the gear box, as well as establish supporting operations in technical operation.

Increasing the Functioning Efficiency of the Working Warehouse of the “UVK Ukraine” Company Transport and Logistics Center

Abstract: Competition in the field of logistics and individual transport services requires the constant analysis of logistics chains and their individual links. Given analysis enables implementation of new approaches to logistics companies and networks trade marketing in the offtake of certain types of goods. Industrial and commercial enterprises have to expand their trade and economic relations with other regions with the aim to provide the necessary sales volumes in the domestic market of regions and to go beyond it. Integration of the country's economy and the free trade policy orientation greatly simplify the task of establishing the free trade and economic relations between producers and consumers. However, there is a question of how quickly and efficiently; with minimal logistics costs, the goods at the right region of the customer should be delivered. The experiment on a one-storey closed warehouse No 3 of Brovary "UVK Ukraine", where a process of the crossdocking warehousing, with subsorting from a warehouse, has been conducted. The warehouse mainly works on trading networks. The loading of the warehouse has been performed with the input flow intensity within (12.3 ... 23.56 (t/h)). During the experiment, the number gain of loading and unloading machines (Electrostacks Reath Track OMG NEOS LAT 3.0) a pcs in the process of unloading, loading and moving consignments, has been examined. In addition, the increasing number of workers employed in non-mechanized forms of work, such as receiving and stacking cargo in the reception area (moving the relevant consignments to designated areas of the reception area and its arrangement), which in total is an increase of 4 employees in the technological process of the warehouse operation, has been investigated during the experiment. The growing of labor and mechanized resources makes it possible to better organize the work of the warehouse, reduce total costs and increase cargo output flow. Conducting the process of warehouse work optimization on the formed technology and corresponding labor and mechanized resources caused an increase of its efficiency. It has been found that the optimal values of intensity of the incoming cargo flow will be 17.93 (t/h); the number of employees engaged in non-mechanized labor - 12 workers, and loading and unloading machines - 3 (pcs). Under such conditions, the warehouse functioning according to the desirability level will reach value 0.792. In this case, the cost value of warehouse work is 181.07 US$/h and cargo output flow intensity is 10.23 (t/h). Results of experimental studies have shown that implementation of the proposed method of increasing the efficiency of warehouse work, based on the company "UVK Ukraine" may, on average, achieve a total cost reduction of 17.2% and an increase in output flow by 34.6% and the input flow by 10.3%.

Studying truck transmission oils using the method of thermal-oxidative stability during vehicle operation

Abstract: Development of technical maintenance of transport means consists in providing their technical state at a significant level of functional operability for which the use of quality lubricants is a key requirement. Therefore, determination of technical state of truck transmission oils by the method of thermal-oxidative stability during their operation is an urgent problem. This problem was solved and technical state of the transmission oil was studied on the basis of operational tasks and the results of their chemotologic studies. These results can be used in development of a system of vehicle maintenance and when substantiating feasibility of using concrete oil grades during operation. A procedure for studying, determining state and compliance of the working oils by their thermal-oxidative stability with operating conditions during vehicle operation has been developed. State of transmission oils was studied during vehicle operation in gearboxes of KamAZ 6520 and MAN TGA 6×4 trucks. The study of working transmission oils was conducted at following parameters: light transmission, evaporability, viscosity. The results of studies of light transmission through an oil sample and evaporability after application of the temperature regimes used in testing working oils were used in graphical and analytical representation of the coefficient of thermal-oxidative stability. Variation of the coefficient of thermal-oxidative stability of oils of respective grades depending on their relative viscosity was determined. Analysis of the obtained functions will enable development of recommendations on conformity of working oils to the conditions of their operation. It was found that the Tedex Gear GL-4 80W90 transmission oil, used in MAN TGA 6×4 trucks, corresponds by its thermal-oxidative stability characteristics to the operating conditions. At the same time, the study of use of YUKO TО-4 80W-85 transmission oil in KamAZ 6520 trucks has shown that the oil did not demonstrate its functional capacity at runs of 8‒30 and 45 thousand kilometers. This was confirmed by analysis of the mathematical model of variation of thermal-oxidative stability of oils depending on relative viscosity, namely, by overshoot of some numerical values of the function beyond the level of 0.85 un. for the vehicle runs under study. It was established that the study data can be applied to substantiation of further operation and selection of transmission oils for the studied vehicle models in transportation activities of the enterprise

Sustainable supply chain of the biomass cluster as a factor for preservation and enhancement of forests

Abstract: The aim of this article has been to investigate the impact of supply chains on sustainable forest development. The results of the research carried out by the authors show that the supply chain ensures more sustainable use of forests and saves lumber from energy production. The article outlines the synergy between supply chain performance and the sustainable use of forest resources. With balanced supply chain processes, it is possible to achieve the sole usage of wood waste and non-productive wood for the production of energy. The authors of the article have compared the data on Lithuanian and Polish border regions and have developed a model for the supply chain effect on orests’ preservation. The model demonstrates that supply chain reduces the amount of energy used in energy production and increases the use of wood waste to meet the energy needs of society.

Development of a system for determining the informativeness of the diagnosing parameters for a cylinder­piston group in the diesel engine during operation

Abstract: A possibility has been investigated to diagnose the condition of a cylinder-piston group in the diesel engine KamAZ-740.63-400 for trucks KamAZ-6460 after a 60,000 km run. The following diagnosing parameters have been selected: a crankcase gas pressure, the compression and vacuometric properties of a cylinder-piston group. A special feature of these mated parts is that they maintain the normal combustion process in the diesel engine cylinders, as well as its resource. We have determined the boundary limits for diagnosing a crankcase gas pressure ‒ 2.39‒2.41 KPa. Based on data about the crankcase gas pressure, the examined trucks revealed malfunctions on the runs of 36,000 km, 48,000 km, 60,000 km. Given the rules for assessing the characteristics of compression-related faults, the minimum compression value for the diesel engines was 30.05 MPa or its difference among the cylinders did not exceed 10–12 %. The data on compression helped detect faults after 48,000 km run and 60,000 km run. We have determined the boundaries of wear based on the vacuometric parameters: maximum vacuum – 69–86 KPa; residual vacuum – 26–41 KPa. Control of the vacuometric properties of a cylinder-piston group has revealed faults in the diesel engines over their run interval of 36,000–60,000 km. An entropy approach has been applied to estimate the informativeness of the appropriate diagnosing parameters in bits. The informativeness level of a crankcase gas pressure is 0.329 bits, compression in cylinders – 0.249 bits, vacuometric indicators – 0.582 bits. This study allows the rational formation of the diesel engine condition diagnosing complexes during technical operation, as well determining the prerequisites for malfunctions. The data acquired are important for transportation and service enterprises and companies that manage freight vehicles

Exploring a possibility to control the stressed­strained state of cylinder liners in diesel engines by the tribotechnology of alignment

Abstract: Our research into the formation of a functional copper-containing surface layer on parts of automobile engines by using an alignment tribotechnology has established a decrease in the wear of parts during their operation. It was found that the formed coating creates an elastic layer that reduces strains in a material of engine parts. Our experimental study of the coercive force of parts' working surfaces has confirmed a decrease in the accumulation of destructive stresses in the near-surface layers of a components' material. In turn, a comparative analysis of the obtained results by using a coercimetric method confirms that the proposed aligning tribotechnology leads to reduction of the stressed-strained state and makes it possible to improve wear resistance and enhance the technical condition of diesel engine cylinder liners: the magnitude of coercive force reduces by 7.5 %, while operating time increases by 16 %. In this case, at larger operating time: 254.8 thousand km against 220.5 thousand km, according to data on the coercive force (14.2…9.1) A/cm and (13.2…9.0) А/cm, it is almost in the same condition.The functional surface layer forms when introducing a composite oil to the tribotechnology of cold alignment of an automobile powertrain. We have proposed and implemented a circuit to connect electric current to components at an engine's cylinder-piston group as a result of studying the developed tribotechnology of alignment. The features of this scheme are that the constant electric current is supplied by the plus polarity, through the brush-collector node, to the crankshaft, and by the minus polarity, through the clamping contact, to the crankcase block.The research results suggest a possibility to control the internal strains and the subsequent magnitude of wear in a material of working heavily-loaded components of automobile powertrains provided they are serviced properly. The proposed tribotechnology of alignment could be of interest for both service departments at trucking companies and for car service stations.
