OPTIMIZATION OF AUTOMOBILE TRANSPORTATION COSTS IN INDUSTRIAL ENTERPRISE

Introduction. The authors prove the relevance of the costs’ reducing for motor transportation service in different departments of the industrial enterprise. The organizational and technological features of the industrial motor transport enterprise functioning and defining inexpediency of transfer of motor transportation function on outsourcing in full are revealed. The economic-mathematical model and the algorithm of decisions development on optimization of the automobile transportations costs in the industrial enterprise, which provide balance of interests of the customer to lower costs of motor transportation services and of the carrier to increase business profitability are offered. The expediency of implementation of such recommendations is proved on the example of motor transportation department of the large metallurgical company in Chelyabinsk region. Materials and methods . The analysis and systematization of the specialized scientific, standard, legal literature, economic-mathematical modeling of transport processes, and statistical technical and economic analysis of production information is conducted. Results. The following results are reached: - having scientific novelty: criterion of optimality and system of restrictions of the choice of decisions on cutting of costs for automobile transportations; mathematical apparatus of assessment of reserves of use of motor transport; - having the practical importance: the algorithm of development of decisions on optimization of costs of automobile transportations based on balance of interests of carrier and the customer of motor transportation services. Discussion and conclusions. The methodical recommendations about coordination of the customer and supplier interaction of motor transportation services are received. The implementation of such recommendations would provide the systematic 3-5% per year budget optimization in the industrial enterprise departments.
