I. Model developing The approach using AHP simplifies a complex problem into simple pair-wise comparisons. A hierarchy is constructed of goals, criteria and alternatives. It is very useful in complex decision-making.
I. Factors influencing sustainability As sustainability was defined like a state of the social and natural systems, it has its own factors and indicators. You can see the scheme of factors division in the frames of the company.
I. Introduction and the main concept XX century is the time of great progress in science, particularly in the production technologies. As we know it is time when the second scientific and technical revolution took place. This leap was caused by many events and social processes, such as Second World War, following it Cold War […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
We have developed the common factors of sustainability. According to this approach, we will assign sustainability indicators in logistics very soon. As our research area is logistics, we decided not to go into common factors division and just to define two groups: internal and external factors.
Recently our team, including Anastasiya Mangul, Sergey Piskunov, Andrey Filippov and Taisiya Sikorskaya, has had a discussion concerning the sustainability indicators. Firstly, we decided to analyze and distinguish the common sustainability factors, as our way of the problem examination is deduction. During the discussion we’ve found very informative example of company performance in the problem […]
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 […]
