Intermodal supply chains methodology and economic efficiency study of its implementation (using the example of an Iron and Steel Company)

Currently the global market for intermodal transport (containers in particular) is evolving at a significant pace. The Russian market development of intermodal transport occurs with low speed. It should be noted that low competitiveness of container transport prevents the development of intermodal delivery method within Russia. In addition, this factor stops implementing national transit potential of transport corridors passing through the territory of the country. To date the delivery chains formation is perceived as a secondary process, which provides the scope for production sector and delivers the finished product to the consumer. However, it is the intensive development of intermodal technologies that remains an economic security guarantee and a reserve for increasing the product competitiveness opposed to the rate of finished products production. As a result, the method development of intermodal supply chains formation at large industrial enterprises appears very important. The paper deals with a model and algorithm of forming a system of intermodal cargo delivery chains of the metallurgical enterprises. We performed calculation of the potential economic benefits from their introduction

Forming student self-organization culture as a factor of improving the educational process quality in higher education

The authors analyze the stated problem in philosophical, historical, psychological and pedagogical aspects, clarify the conceptual apparatus of the research, determine the structural components of the personality of a technical university student with self-organization culture, describe the developed structural and functional model of the formation of self-organization culture of a technical university student, implemented on the example of humanities disciplines, substantiate the set of pedagogical conditions of the considered process. The main goal of personal self-organization is to control one’s life on the basis of optimal use of available opportunities and taking into account individual characteristics and abilities. It is determined that all this requires the individual to make efforts to restructure his or her life activities and involves self-reflection, self-monitoring and self-correction of behavior
