Organization of cargo transportation and management of commodity flows in the value chain

The subject of the research is the development of recommendations for improving the planning and organization of cargo transportation and operational work in the framework of commodity flow management and effective interaction of transport market participants in the value chain. The relevance of this topic is related to the implementation of the priorities of the long-Term development program of open joint stock company “Russian Railways” until 2025.

Used analytical, marketing, and project methods; materials of general access and official sites, own research.

Priority tasks requiring scientific and practical solutions are Considered: building a Compliance system; improving the system of planning and calculating the price of integrated transport services; updating the Concept of rationing the operational work of Railways; distributing quotas between operator companies for cargo transportation; rating evaluation of operator companies; criteria for evaluating logistics activities and a system of balanced indicators.

When implementing the proposal, Russian Railways will develop tools for improving the planning and organization of cargo transportation and operational work within the framework of commodity flow management and effective interaction of transport market participants in the value chain.
