Markov Model of the Assessment of the Use of Transport Measures in a Distribution Company

Summary/Abstract: In distribution companies, it is particularly important to organize transport processes properly and minimize unnecessary mileage. A high level of readiness of transport means is also required, which guarantees the execution of every order. It enables to achieve rational fleet management, compliance with service intervals and an even workload. The use of transport means is also influenced by the way a company is managed and decisions made at the strategic level. This article shows how the choices made by the management board regarding trade partners (manufacturers) influenced the degree and legitimacy of owned rolling stock use. For this purpose, two different business steps were compared. Markov’s processes were used in the study.
