Improving the effectiveness and quality of maintenance and repair of road vehicles is one of the primary tasks in the Arctic zone of Russia. The paper analyzes international experience in solving these problems. It provides a description of a system ensuring the operability of buses with a division into subsystems. The marginal utility theory in conjunction with a system of maintenance and repair of motor vehicles is presented. The following relationships are addressed: the fleet utilization coefficient vs. the relative cost of production and technical facilities, the technical readiness coefficient of vehicles vs. the relative cost of production and technical facilities, the specific capital investments in production and technical facilities vs. the scale of the enterprise, the technical readiness coefficient and the consumption of spare parts vs. the mechanization level. In the course of the study, we considered the structure of the operational and repair cycle of vehicles. Besides, we compared the effectiveness of different options for improving the production and technical facilities of bus servicing. It was proved that one of the most important effectiveness indicators (vehicle utilization rate) reaches the maximum level with a rational combination of servicing centralization, specialization, and cooperation. |
