IMPROVING THE TRANSPORT CLASSIFICATION OF GOODS FOR PLANNING THE TRANSPORTATION OF FROZEN AND CHILLED FOOD PRODUCTS

The relevance of this study is substantiated by the fact that the modern transport classification of goods does not distinguish a separate group of «frozen and chilled food products, ready for consumption» taking into account the entire set of properties of such goods. The lack of scientifically based planning of the rolling stock operation taking into account the range of features of the properties of these goods, which manifest themselves during transportation from the manufacturer to the consumer, in practice leads to non-fulfillment of the requirements of the participants in the transport process. In the practice of transportation, there is an interrelationship between the participants in the transport process, taking into account the requirements of regulatory documents, the properties of the cargo. A description of the relationship between the operational indicators of the rolling stock will ensure the development of a scientifically based planning tool for fulfilling the conditions of delivery of goods to the consumer and making a profit for the carrier. The purpose of the study is to improve the transport classification of goods for planning the transportation of frozen and chilled food products taking into account the relationship of operational indicators. The study uses scientific methods of current planning of the rolling stock operation, approaches to transport classification taking into account the addition of the list of properties of the object under study, and system analysis. Scientific novelty in the form of an improved transport classification of cargo by product groups «Meat and meat products», «Fish products», «Milk and dairy products», «Confectionery products», «Vegetables», which made it possible to identify the type of cargo «frozen and chilled food products, ready for consumption» and the established relationship between planned indicators and indicators that meet the requirements of the transport classification and the requirements of the participants in the transport process. Further research will be aimed at developing a mathematical model for planning the transportation of frozen and chilled food products, ready for consumption in fast food restaurants. New scientific results are expressed in the form of a relationship between operational planning indicators characterizing the time of transportation, the amount of cargo, transport work with indicators that ensure the preservation of the properties of the cargo «frozen and chilled food products, ready for consumption» during their transportation. A diagram of the relationship between operational indicators for planning the transportation of frozen and chilled food products ready for consumption and indicators characterizing the properties of the cargo and the requirements for transportation has been developed. The application of the research results is aimed at fulfilling the planned indicators for the operation of rolling stock.
