IMPROVING THE EFFICIENCY OF THE PERISHABLE GOODS SUPPLY SYSTEM IN THE DIRECTION OF THE REPUBLIC OF POLAND - UKRAINE IN THE CURRENT CONDITIONS

Abstract

The issue of increasing the efficiency of the supply system of perishable goods in the direction of Poland - Ukraine by reducing the total costs of delivery is considered. As a criterion for assessing the efficiency of the cargo delivery process it is proposed to use the total costs of international transportation, which consist of the cost of driver's salary on the route, fuel costs, lubricants, road train maintenance costs, tyre recovery costs, depreciation charges, insurance costs, parking costs, customs duties. In addition, additional costs related to waiting for service due to blocking of border crossing points by Polish carriers have been taken into account, which include the following cost items – costs related to immobilisation of funds, fuel costs due to operation of the refrigerator unit of the road train trailer and driver's salary costs for travelling.
