Diagnostics of Subsystems of Material and Equipment Supply Chain: Delivery by Rail in Orenburg Region

The process of supply of enterprises with material and equipment is one of the most important conditions for uninterrupted and productive performance of economic entities. Therefore, it is important to pay attention not only to the number of transactions and purchases, and rational use of those resources but also to the time of delivery to enterprises, to the travel time. Delay in supply of necessary resources may cause reduction in production efficiency that further will result in losses for enterprises. This topic is relevant not only for individual business structures and organisations, or all over the national transport system, but from the regional aspect as well.

The article using an example of Orenburg region considers not only general issues of development of regional transport and logistics system but also the features of rail transportation.

The proposed classification of subsystems of supply chain management based on core activity indicators supposes further in-depth diagnostics to reveal the causes of occurrence of signs of inefficiency in rail transportation and their prompt elimination.
