Abstract

The most widespread in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus is the two-stage transportation of harvested timber, in the implementation of which one of the most important tasks is the optimal location of the intermediate storage.

The article considers two main methods of intermediate storage location in the two-stage transportation scheme. The first method is based on the calculation of the so-called "equivalent" length of a truck with cargo, the value of which is the optimum radius of the first stage of transportation. The second way is widely known in theory and practice of logistics and is based on calculation of co-ordinates of centre of gravity of cargo flows (or centre of gravity of equilibrium system of transport costs).

On the basis of analysis of disadvantages of existing methods, a new methodology for determining the location of intermediate warehouses in two-stage timber transportation is proposed. The essence of the proposed methodology is a heuristic approach to determining intermediate storage locations for each of the allocated zones of the developed forest areas. To determine the possible effectiveness of the proposed approach, a typical production situation in which a logging company needs to harvest timber at geographically dispersed logging areas is modelled. The main options for the zoning of intermediate forest warehouses are considered and appropriate recommendations for the location of forest warehouses are given.
