The use of risk profiles in the coordination of methods of placement and fastening of cargoes

Poorly executed processes for the development and coordination of methods for placing and securing cargoes lead to commercial malfunctions, uncoupling of cars en route, failures of technical means, and transport accidents. Therefore, the task of eliminating risks in the development and coordination of loading methods remains urgent. Today, the risk management system based on the data available in information systems is practically not used in these processes. Currently, any person can develop ways to place and secure cargo without any restrictions. Due to the different experience and knowledge of different developers, the quality level of the loading schemes developed and submitted for approval differs significantly. To categorize the developers of loading schemes in relation to the risks created, a methodology for determining the risk profile of developers of methods for placing and securing cargoes is presented. As the main indicators for assessing the risk profile, it is proposed to use the number of returns of loading schemes when approving for revision and the nature of such returns. The technology of calculating the integral indicator of the quality of developing a method for placing and securing cargo is determined. Calculated values of risk profiles and indicators determining the quality of coordination of methods of cargo placement and fastening are formalized. A mechanism for risk categorization of loading scheme developers is proposed for effective and targeted measures to minimize risks from poor-quality methods of cargo placement and fastening.
