Abstract

Logistički operater, kao nositelj distribucijskih aktivnosti, svojim odlukama bitno pridonosi uspješnoj organizaciji transportne mreže i na taj način promovira transport u presudnog čimbenika prilikom ostvarivanja konkurentskih prednosti na tržištu prijevoznih kapaciteta. Optimiranje ruta na transportnoj mreži logističkog operatera, ogleda se u određivanju najpovoljnijih putova kojima se grupa vozila služi prilikom opskrbljivanja korisnika. Problem takvog optimiranja transportnih ruta, u literaturi je opisan kao problem usmjeravanja vozila, radi čijeg su rješavanja razvijene brojne metode i algoritmi. Navedeni problem je u ovome radu prikazan na realnom primjeru logističke tvrtke koja posluje u Republici Hrvatskoj. U tu svrhu, uz prikupljanje podataka, izvršena je analiza postojećeg stanja ruta odnosno postojeće transportne mreže, nakon čega je iznijet prijedlog elemenata optimiranja, da bi u konačnici bio omogućen prikaz njihovih očekivanih učinaka.

Abstract (english)

Logistics operator, as the carrier of distribution activities, significantly contribute to the successful organization of transportation networks, and so promote transport as a crucial factor in achieving competitive advantages on the transport capacity market. Routes optimization on the transportation network of the logistics operator, is reflected into determining the most suitable paths that a group of vehicles uses when they are serving the customers. In the literature, that transport routes optimizing problem is described as a vehicle routing problem, for which solution many methods and algorithms have been developed. The mentioned problem was in this paper presented on the realistic example of a logistics company in the Republic of Croatia. For that purpose, along with the data collection, an analysis of the existing routes shape was carried out, a suggestion with all optimizing elements was put forward and ultimately, expected effects were introduced and shown.
