Resumo
Background. The article is a study of the quality of transport and logistics services in modern conditions. It analyzes the transport industry of the Russian Federation and assesses its competitive advantages in four main areas: productive factors, related and supporting industries, domestic demand parameters, and the structure and strategies of industry companies and intra-industry competition. Using official statistical data, the article describes and systematizes the characteristics of the stages of economic growth in the transport sector, analyzes the current situation in these areas, and identifies the catalysts for transition from one stage to another. The article also provides a description of the implementation of international transport corridor projects involving Russia as a sign of transition to the innovation stage. The purpose is to apply the product life cycle period to the railway transport service during freight transportation with the subsequent search for opportunities to improve the quality of services provided. The competitive advantages of the domestic transport industry, which are typical for the second and third stages of economic growth, are analyzed, and the resources, technological potential, and quality of transport and logistics services for rail transport are evaluated. A comprehensive indicator of the quality of transport and logistics services is derived, and the conditions for its calculation are determined. Weight coefficients are determined for the implementation of the quality of resources, technology, and the final transport and logistics service.
Purpose. Increasing competitive advantages using a comprehensive indicator of the quality of transport and logistics services.
Materials and methods. The article used an analysis of the current state of transport and logistics services, formulated the signs of transition to the innovation stage, and derived a formula for a comprehensive indicator of the quality of transport and logistics services.
Results. The position of the transport sector is defined as a transition from investment-based competition to innovation-based competition. It is substantiated that the quality of transport and logistics services should be based on three components: the quality of resources, the quality of technologies, and the quality of the final transport and logistics service. The implementation of competitive advantages in transport and logistics services can be achieved by increasing the value of the comprehensive quality indicator, subject to certain conditions.
Practical implications. The obtained results can be applied in the railway transportation system, as well as in the work of operator and transport and logistics companies.
