METHODOLOGY FOR DETERMINING THE RATIONAL TECHNOLOGY FOR MOVING GOODS IN THE WAREHOUSE

Abstract

The article analyses the relevant issues of improving the transport and warehouse activities of enterprises when determining the rational technology for moving goods in warehouses from the places of cargo acceptance to the points of their further processing, storage, or shipment. Solving these issues will increase the productivity of mechanisation equipment, reduce cargo handling time, increase the safety of goods, reduce the total cost of transportation operations, and thus reduce the final cost of goods passing through transport and warehouse complexes. Of particular importance in these matters are the possibilities of using innovative highly manoeuvrable and energy-efficient mechanisation equipment, used as automated guided vehicles, for loading and unloading operations. Essential are the issues of improving the transportation and warehousing activities of enterprises under martial law. In conditions when it is necessary to handle and deliver military cargo in the shortest possible time and with the highest quality. The importance of solving such issues is directly related to increasing the combat capability of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The article analyses theoretical and practical issues related to the prospects of developing transport and warehousing activities of enterprises. The main directions of development are identified: use of innovative highly manoeuvrable and energy-efficient mechanisation means as automated guided vehicles for loading and unloading operations; reduction of the energy dependence of technical means, minimisation of their size to ensure mobility; development of modern methods for determining conflict-free routes for cargo transportation in warehouses and terminals of Ukraine. In the article, we propose to consider the use of new vehicles for the transportation of goods within the territory of warehouses and terminals of Ukraine along the developed conflict-free routes, taking into account the use of an appropriate number of such means of mechanisation. The process of building such routes is formalised. Keywords: cargo, equipment, costs, warehouse, routes.
