Abstract
Today, the creation and use of powerful information systems for managing the raw material flows of a metallurgical enterprise transported by the railways allow to diminish turn-round of wagons on the house tracks of the enterprise, to reduce the stock of raw materials in wagons, to create conditions for uninterrupted production, as well as to increase the level of maturity of cross-functional interaction of divisions.
This necessitates the development of a system of rapid collection, analysis, and visualization of information on the supply of raw materials, which will act as a single information space to coordinate the actions of all parties involved. Such an information system should support decisions at both the operational and tactical levels. Operational decisions in this case include changing plans for the current period, purchasing missing volumes, redirecting raw materials to other consumers, prioritization of relevant shipments and wagons’ rearrangement. Tactical level includes revision of reserve and consumption standards, elaboration of special agreements with carriers.
The objective of the study is to investigate the possibility of using an information system for controlling raw material transportation to reduce the turn-round of wagons on the house tracks of a metallurgical enterprise. The authors use general scientific methods, comparative analysis, mathematical methods.
The article studies the main functionality of such a system, presents a methodology for calculating the investment attractiveness of a project, and suggests further directions for development in the field of information interaction between enterprises and rolling stock operators.
