Sažetak
The increasing globalization has spread the production locations to every part of the world thus increasing even more the role of transport in determining the price and quality of a product. Therefore, the producers and carriers join together more and more frequently through the supply chains. Railway carriers have a very significant role in supply chains, both through organization of transport and forming the trains as final products, and through forming the logistic centres. Logistic centres are the starting and the final railway stations but also the meeting points of the national carrier with other carriers (sea, road, river as well as other railway carriers) and they also represent information centres. For the quality of service at logistic centres, it is important to have well organized operation of train traction. In order to keep up the regularity of trains and the quality of transport at logistic centres, among other things, it is necessary to provide an optimal number of locomotives and to provide the technical inspection place. Special attention should be paid to the organization of work performed by the engine staff. At logistic centres it is possible to organize high-quality technical inspection of wagons thus increasing the traffic safety.
