When companies learned that logistics can be used to achieve strategic goals, it ceased to be perceived only as a source of necessary costs that need to be controlled. In this dissertation the potential benefits of selected sources of long term competitive advantage are questioned. The research in the dissertation focuses on international transport of goods, its employment and organization, and on how logistics capabilities can be employed to increase customer satisfaction and thus the competitive advantage of the entire supply chain. The potential sources of long term competitive advantage are cooperation and information sharing among firms in the international supply chain. The author hypothesised that cooperation and information sharing are positively related to logistics capabilities. Logistics capabilities are hypothesised to be positively related to customer satisfaction. To capture the impact of external environment, the lead time uncertainty and the demand uncertainty have been included in the model. The impact of modern information technologies on supply chain management has not been disregarded and information technologies serve as moderating variable in the model. The proposed model is based on the Transaction costs theory and the Resource-Based View. The qualitative research method of case studies had been selected and used to support the model. The research involves three cases. Interviews with professionals, company sources and secondary data mainly academy journals, supply chain management literature and web pages of selected companies and international institutions provided the foundation for the research. The contribution of this dissertation is in including the impact of the external forces in the model, in focusing on the relationships that a firm has with its supply chain partners, and in an in-depth analysis of relationships among triad of subjects -- buyer, seller and logistics service provider. Also, a new definition of logistics capabilities has been proposed. Examples of real situations of organization of international transportation of goods are presented. Cooperation and information sharing can serve as sources of long term competitive advantage, but their implementation is in many cases limited due to varied reasons. The size of the firm is in some cases one of them, other limitations are named in the text. Suggestions for practitioners are included.

The main theme of this diploma thesis is a detailed analysis of the actual transportation situation in RF and Volgogradskiy region. The role of transportation as an important part of the national economy has been drastically undermined by the Russian government, therefore since the USSR dissolution transportation in RF has been only regressing. The first chapters deal with the actual state of the Russian transportation system and the possibilities of integration with the international transportation corridors. Further, we will suggest a detailed profiling of the transportation system's development and the actual situation with transportation in the Volgogradskiy region. In conclusion, we will evaluate the perspectives of logistics as a science and positioning logistics as an economic management industry.

he theme of this work is the issue of international transport, transport costs in implementing the dimensions and weight exceeds the maximum specified value. Emphasis is placed mainly on road safety, which is ensured by legislative provisions governing the conditions for the transport of oversized cargo. In particular, a variety of security measures such as coordination of the operation with the requirements of different organizations, or for the fees and charges for exceeding the limit size and weight. The benefit of this document will become an overview of the legal standards applicable to the various destinations (Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Russia, Ukraine, Belarus), for Czech carrier use.

En el comercio internacional de bienes y servicios, las agencias de carga internacional desempeñan un rol de alta importancia, estableciendo un nexo comercial y operativo entre las empresas exportadoras y las compañías navieras, logrando por medio del mismo, fortalecer la cadena de suministro mediante la re–venta de fletes como actividad principal en transporte internacional de cargas, siendo esta a su vez, complementada por otras actividades como los servicios de agenciamiento aduanero, transporte local, estiba de carga y emisión documentaria, los cuales forman parte de un concepto de servicio denominado operación logística integral. El servicio de fletes comprende la negociación de espacios y contenedores, para brindar un medio seguro de comercio a los exportadores en sus embarques contenerizados, priorizando los factores de calidad, tiempos de servicio y precios competitivos en base a los volúmenes de carga a transportar y la ruta comercial. Es por ello que la presente investigación, propone aplicar la metodología LEAN como herramienta de gestión para identificar y reducir los principales cuellos de botella presentes en el proceso de abastecimiento y entrega de contenedores aptos para exportación a los clientes de la agencia de carga, tomando en considerando el flujo de información y recursos desde la creación de la orden por parte del exportador hasta el retiro y posicionamiento del contenedor en planta para iniciar con el proceso de estiba de carga y ser posteriormente direccionado a puerto para su embarque.El resumen debe: / In the international trade of goods and services, international freight agencies play a role of high importance, establishing a commercial and operational link between shipping companies and shipping companies (also known as carriers) achieving through it, strengthen the supply chain through the re-sale of freight as the main activity in international cargo transport, this in turn, complemented by other activities such as customs agency services, local transport, cargo stowage and documentary issuance, which are part of a service concept called integral logistics operation The freight service includes the negotiation of spaces and containers, to provide a safe means of trade to exporters in their containerized shipments, prioritizing quality factors, service times and competitive prices based on the volumes of cargo to be transported and the trade route. That is why this research proposes to apply the LEAN methodology as a management tool to identify and reduce the main bottlenecks present in the process of supply and delivery of containers suitable for export to the customers of the freight forwarders, taking into consideration the flow of information and resources from the creation of the order by the exporter to the gate out and positioning of the container in the plant for start with the process of stowage of cargo and then be directed to port for loading for shipment.El resumen debe: / Trabajo de investigación

Russia is one of the largest participants of world commodity exchange. From 2005 to 2013 the volume of foreign trade turnover grew steadily, but in the next two years there was a decrease in trade turnover: in 2014 by 8%, and in 2015 by 37.7%.
