The article addresses the concept of transport service quality as an essential tool for improving customer focus and the efficiency of rail transport in the implementation of cargo traffic. Issues have been investigated on current reforms going on in the railway transport market with regard to transport service. Valid procedures (both foreign and Russian ones) have been studied on freight owners’ evaluating transport service quality including All-Russian Project “Quality Index”. By this method, dynamics of change has been assessed in the fulfillment of basic indices of transport service quality, and causes of their inadequacy to ideal fulfillment have been described. Presented is the transport service quality management system for freight owners. The system is based on combination of natural assessment methods, optimization of quality level and assessment of efficiency of measures to increase the quality level. Based on logics of assuring transport service quality, a sequence has been proposed to analyze the transport quality indices systems: “quality of technical means → quality of operational work → quality of transport service”. Moreover, the quality of a subsequent system is the most objective characteristics of the previous system (systems) quality. It has been concluded that one of the major priorities in development of railway transport is to assure high-level quality of transport service. In addition to the most complete satisfaction of clients with railway transport services, the service quality makes it possible to increase attractiveness of railway companies in the transportation field and is the most important factor of competitiveness and the most promising for development as compared with alternative price factors.

Product Service

As the competition for products and services continues to grow, with customer satisfaction playing an integral part in this process, organizations are faced with the task of ensuring quality in all of their activities. Since many organizations do not necessarily produce the entire product or deliver the service by themselves, they are dependent on other vital sources, for example, suppliers, that impact quality of the finished product/service. This necessitates development and implementation of a quality management system which can integrate information from the various entities to facilitate decision making in a timely manner. Additionally, it is desirable for such a quality management system to be responsive to the existing quality environment at the various sources that contribute to the manufacture of the product or delivery of the service. This chapter provides a foundation for accomplishing such quality management objectives.

The scientific-practical basis of the quality of passenger and clientele service at the airport were studied. This was prompted by the need to determine the role of aviation safety (AS) and its impact on the quality and competitiveness of airport services. It was proved that within the framework of the system, quality monitoring is performed in the areas of the service of aviation safety (SAS). As a result of research, a quantitative assessment of the level of aviation safety of the airport, which is the basis for making a relevant management decision in the analysis subsystems, was determined. Management , in this case, implies the system of measures to improve the activities of the SAS. A procedure for assessing the quality of airport services, which reveals the essence of aviation safety in the system of airport quality management , was devised. The sequence of assessment of the system of aviation safety, reflecting the cost approach, the application of which involves determining the reserves for ensuring aviation safety in the continuous implementation of the quality management system, was proposed. The share of costs of aviation safety (AS) was determined on the example of three airports by economic elements (the model of criteria for choosing a subject) to determine the cost of ensuring an adequate level of aviation safety. It was proposed to introduce a comprehensive indicator of the quality of aviation safety for its functional components, which further makes up the integrated indicator of the quality of provided services. As a result of calculations, the amount of payment for aviation safety using adjustment coefficients to counteract the threat of a possible act of unlawful interference (AUI) will increase. This enables an aircraft company to form timely a reserve to prevent or eliminate the consequences of the AUI by including the aviation safety fee in the total cost of air transport services.
