    • DEVELOPMENT OF MODEL OF WHEEL SLIPPAGE SELF-PROPELLED VEHICLES ON BENDS

      pg(s) 102-103

      Patency and safety of self-propelled wheeled machine are complex indicators of its quality, which will depend on the performance of its properties and performance of road conditions. When assessing the passability and safety of self-propelled machines, the issues of redistribution of tractive forces (or slippage) on their wheels when moving along a curve are practically not considered. The machine is a one-piece structure, considering only the greatest load when assessing the movement of machines on the ground and on a paved road on a turn is not sufficient. Therefore, when assessing the complex indicators of the quality of patency and machine safety, it becomes necessary to take into account also the redistribution of their skidding. Controllability and rotatability, are characterized by kinematic (trajectory, turning radius, etc.) and power (torque on driving wheels, reactions, etc.) parameters.

    • THE IMPORTANCE OF SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY IN THE PREFERENCE OF PORT OPERATIONS BY INTERNATIONAL COMMERCE COMPANIES – A STUDY IN KOCAELİ AREA / TURKEY

      pg(s) 110-111

      Port operators are logistics companies. When we look at port management in Turkey today; competition among these operators seems to be intensifying. Therefore, this competition is pushing the port operators for differentiate their services. In this context, it can be said that one of the strategies that will differentiate port operators is the sense of social responsibility. The aim of this research is to determine how effective the port management’s social responsibility understanding is among the factors that international commerce companies operating in Kocaeli / Turkey prefer to operate a port. For this purpose, a questionnaire was applied to 32 international commerce companies operating in the Kocaeli Region and according to the survey results, it was seen that social responsibility concept took the fourth place after the shortest time of cargo handling, the lowest cost of cargo handling and the undamaged and without any losses of cargo handling. According to this result, it is suggested that port operators should emphasize social responsibility concept more than other factors and emphasize social responsibility more in promotion activities.

      pg(s) 117-119

      Each society makes everyday trials for improved management with communal waste. Each innovation that offers enlarged quality represents possibility for future improved strategy. Imperative of every man today is healthy living environment and maximally healthy way of living. Therefore in this paper one quite different concept will be represented – solution of the problems that the communal waste could create. If it is known that this phenomenon is inevitability and there is no possibility that no men could be exempted from the need to create a communal waste then this be solved upgraded and improved. The best and most suitable is every solution to be supported with a model. Here as a model is the desired quality of the service with completely justified scientific maintainability would be the presented logistic model – LMMCW about management with the communal waste and the possibility for qualitative and maintainable development with distinguished contributions for the people.
