IMPROVING APPROACHES TO THE FORMATION OF THE COST OF CAPITAL REPAIRS OF THE RAILWAY TRACK

Abstract

The importance of Russian Railways fulfilling large-scale tasks for the development of transport and logistics infrastructure, increasing the volume of freight and passenger traffic necessitate the development of new approaches to analyzing the cost of major track repairs. In addition, in modern conditions of railway transportation, the availability of the capacity of infrastructure sections "here and now" is necessary, therefore, there is a need to change the approach to the organization of work. Thus, in order to make optimal management decisions, it becomes relevant to estimate the amount of costs for various options for organizing the production process, in comparison with the possibility of skipping trains by increasing the duration of repair work. Based on the results of the analysis of the process of carrying out major repairs of the track using various technologies, the authors have formed empirical calculations of the cost of repairing the track to assess the resource provision of major repairs of the track and substantiate the proposed coefficients for the use of personnel and track equipment, using the process approach and the resource method of cost formation.
