Most petrochemical companies are undergoing radical changes. The markets being served have expanded globally, customer service expectations have increased, and demand has become much more volatile and hence less predictable. The resulting product supply chains evolve/develop over time, with integrating decision-making processes and advanced planning practices becoming more prominent. A proactive approach with longer time horizons becomes the norm for excellence. Refinery expansion and highly integrated/sophisticated manufacturing technology have also contributed to increased interdependency within and between supply chains (upstream to feed sources, downstream to end consumer, and between logistics networks). These developments resulted in what is termed advance supply chain planning. Notwithstanding its unique differences, the petrochemical industry still has a lot of ground to cover before it can reach some of the advance supply chain planning benefits reported in other industries. This article presents what is believed to be an appropriate supply chain planning approach/framework for decision making in large-scale, integrated petrochemical companies.

Трансформация умных цепей поставок в условиях цифровизации подвержена риску, связанному, в первую очередь, с пандемией коронавируса в 2020 году. В настоящее время процессы управления цепями поставок постепенно адаптируются к условиям пандемиии. Традиционные линейные цепи поставок трансформируются в цифровые логистические сети. Показано, что значительной степени инвестиции в цифровизацию своей логистической деятельности и внедрение умных цепей поставок закладывают основу трендов дальнейшего развития логистической деятельности в контексте цифровизации экономики. The transformation of smart supply chains in the context of digitalization is at risk associated primarily with the coronavirus pandemic in 2020. Currently, supply chain management processes are gradually adapting to the pandemic. Traditional linear supply chains are being transformed into digital logistics networks. It is shown that, to a large extent, investments in the digitalization of their logistics activities and the introduction of smart supply chains lay the foundation for trends in the further development of logistics activities in the context of the digitalization of the economy.

The transformations of management approaches to global supply chain management under the influence of a pandemic were analyzed. Key barriers to supply chain development in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic have been identified: non-diversification of supply chains; instability of the logistic activity organization; stretched supply chains; lack of flexibility and a single information space for all sections of global logistics networks; the dominant role of China as a "world factory". Based on the analysis of development indicators of global supply chains dynamics new trends and patterns for the post pandemic period were revealed. While transparency from start to finish (end-to-end). The application of new technologies to ensure the transparency of supply chains was considered. Peculiarities and tendencies of supply chain development in Ukraine were researched. The expediency of applying an integrated approach to supply chain management taking into account global economic changes substantiated. The directions of transformation of global logistics networks determined in the post coronavirus epoch among them we can note the following: increasing the volume of special air cargo transportation – airlines are already redeploying the fleet for exceptional air freight services; increasing the number of cargo inspections and border control protocols; intensification of the introduction of digital technologies and e-commerce; reconfiguration of global chains.

<p><strong>Resumo: </strong>O setor agrícola Brasileiro encontra-se em expansão, tornando-se um dos principais contribuintes do aumento do crescimento do PIB nacional e participação ativa na economia mundial. No entanto, a produção agrícola e agropecuária encontra na infraestrutura logística física seu principal desafio, já que tem que procurar soluções para os problemas de escoamento da produção. Este problema soma-se à falta de planejamento estratégico das cadeias de suprimento, de produção e distribuição, e essencialmente ao problema de planejamento de redes logísticas. Para contribuir na solução deste problema, este trabalho desenvolveu um modelo de planejamento do sistema logístico de distribuição para o setor hortigranjeiro de produtos orgânicos. O modelo propõe a criação de um banco de dados para diagnosticar a situação de áreas de estudos e simular cenários alternativos de redes logísticas, tendo como principais variáveis de decisão: o agrupamento de unidades produtivas, as características de veículos e localizações de pontos de venda alternativos.</p><strong>Abstract: </strong>The Brazilian agricultural sector is under enlargement, becoming one of the main contributors to the growth of national GDP as well active involvement in the worldwide economy. However, the logistic physical infrastructure is the main endeavor for the agricultural and farming production since it’s necessary to find solutions for the problems related to production delivery. This problem must be considered in addition to the lack of strategic planning of supply chains, of production and distribution, and mainly to the problem of logistics networks planning. In order to assist the solution of this problem, this study developed a model for the planning of logistic distribution system to the produce sector for organic products. This model suggests the creation of a database to diagnose the condition of study areas and simulate alternative logistic network scenarios, having as the main variables decision: the grouping of productive units, vehicle characteristics and the location of alternative selling spots.

Insbesondere in komplexen Supply Chains ist es heute üblich, dass Kunden ihre Lieferanten über Selbstverpflichtungserklärungen (Codes of Conduct) steuern. Forschungen aus anderen Industrien zeigen die Möglichkeiten, aber auch Grenzen der Arbeit mit diesem Instrument des Lieferantenmanagements. Davon können auch Krankenhauseinkäufer profitieren.
