Improving the Structure of Manufacturers Maintenance and Repair Services Cars

Abstract

The paper proposes a working hypothesis that, in order to ensure competitiveness in the market of transport services, the structure of production units of motor transport enterprises should be determined by the volume of maintenance works and repair of vehicles, taking into account the economic criteria for the cost of implementing the service unit.

When determining the expediency of creating production units for maintenance and repair of automobiles in motor transport enterprises the cost of a 1-man-hour of work on maintenance and repair of vehicles was found out. It should be noted that the cost of maintenance and repair of vehicles depends not only on the volume of work, but also on the cost of technological equipment, the required area, the number of workers, qualifications, their wages and other factors.

With the increase of volumes of works (and there was a lot of work) on maintenance and repair of cars, the cost price is gradually decreasing, which is associated with an increase in the load of personnel, process equipment and more rational use of production space.

On the basis of the cost price of the 1 st man-hour, the minimum volumes of work are determined, in which it is expedient to perform specific types of maintenance and repair works and to create the appropriate production units in the motor transport enterprises. The minimum volumes of maintenance and repair of cars are established by comparing the cost of performing works in a motor transport company with the cost of performing these works at the car service enterprises (and it was in service centers).

The cost of delivery of cars and repair fund in service centers is determined, which accounts for 1 man-hour of labor-intensive maintenance and repair work. On the basis of the estimated delivery cost, the economically feasible radius of maintenance and repair of cars was determined on the basis of co-operation in service centers.

The hypothesis that, in order to ensure competitiveness in the market of transport services, the structure of production units of motor transport enterprises should be determined by the volume of maintenance works and vehicle repair, taking into account the economic criteria of the cost of the service unit, quite adequate.
