Logistics Activity

Research background: Economic relations, which are formed under conditions of uncertainty and instability of the surrounding, require highly efficient techniques of engineering logistics activities. The high competitiveness on the logistics market forced to search new technologies that would give advantages over competitors. One of these advantages could be the decreasing of the transport service cost. The logistics activity, with the collaborative management of the complex of transport and logistics systems, is not well understood. The issues of the effectiveness of using various technologies in servicing a complex of logistics systems have not been sufficiently addressed. The effectiveness of horizontal collaboration of individual participants of various logistics systems to achieve common goals has not been fully studied. Lack of an unequivocal scientific justification and relevant practical developments determined the choice of the research topic and its relevance. Purpose of the article: The aim of the paper is to identify patterns of influence of horizontal collaboration on efficiency of several supply chains. Methods: The article used modelling of transportation process without horizontal collaboration – traditional one and with it. Invest indicators for assess collaborative and separated effectiveness of several supply chains were used. Findings & Value added: The use of horizontal collaboration technology leads to a synergistic effect: reducing the total number of vehicles required to service several supply chains; increased performance indicators. The patterns of the influence of technological parameters of the transport process on the effectiveness of horizontal transport collaboration are revealed.

The Impact

Transportation is a key logistics function, which determines the dynamic nature of material flows in logistics systems. At the same time, transportation is a source of uncertainty of logistics operations performance in the supply chain. Obviously, the development of a new approach for evaluation of the duration of delivery “Just-In-Time” (JIT) will improve the efficiency of supply chains in accordance with one of the major criteria, namely customer satisfaction. One of the basic approaches to make effective management decisions in transportation and other logistic operations is the JIT concept. In the majority of examined sources the JIT concept is described on the verbal level without any usage of calculation dependences. The paper is devoted to the formation of analytical and simulation models, which allow obtaining the probabilistic evaluation of the implementation of unimodal and multimodal international transportation JIT. The first model where the order of the operations implementation does not affect final result is formed on the basis of the probability theory: distribution laws composition, theorems of numerical characteristics of random variables, formula of complete probability. The second model accounts the impact of operations implementation order in transportation and their interconnection and is based on the simulation (the method of statistic experiments) and shown as a corresponding algorithm, which allows to consider different limitations (technical, organizational and so on). Considered analytical dependences give the possibility to obtain the necessary estimations of the transport operations implementation according to JIT: mean transportation time, delivery implementation probability by the set moment or the delivery time with the set probability. To carry out some comparative calculations and clarify the algorithm, two international routes have been chosen: the first one is a unimodal road transportation, the second one is a multimodal transportation (road and marine transport). All the data, which is necessary for calculation has been collected on the basis of official information (in particular, the data of tachograph, special questionnaires filled in by the drivers, the survey results of the managers). For unimodal transportations analytical dependences and modelling results give close results. For the combined multimodal transportations taking into account various limitations the preference must be given to the simulation. The modelled indexes take into consideration their intercommunication and definitely estimate the supply chains reliability, and this allows decreasing the uncertainty of the logistic system.

The world economy is characterized by linearity, namely the model "product of raw materials-production-consumption". This concept has already lost itsviabilitydue to a number of factors, namely: the depleted global ecological system, socio-economic and resource constraints. Through various environmental contaminants sharply reducedand thequality of life disappear goals populations of animal and plant life. Today, there is an alternative to the linear model of the economy - a circular economy, the main task of which is to restore the ecosystem, saving resource potential, financial and human resources through reverse and careful treatment.To form a new model of economy, governments of developed countries use different tools, but there is not always an understanding of the importance and effectiveness of this concept. The article considers the essence and basic principles of circular economy. As a basis for the implementation of the concept of circular economy are considered closed supply chains and as the main tool for the implementation of tasks - reversible logistics.Managing reverse logistics is a complex task that requires a systematic approach and significant resources.The goal of building reverse flows is to reduce costs and increase profits.The author's interpretation of the essence and content of reverse flows in closed supply chains, which include return and return flows, is presented in the article..The constituent elements of reversible material flows in closed supply chains are investigated.The main problems in the formation of closed supply chains are identified, namely the optimization of inventory management throughout the chain.A methodical approach to inventory management in closed supply chains, which provide for multilevel inventorymanagement, is proposed.The use of a set of inventory management modelsthat allow to coordinate actions for inventory management and are adequate to the practice of doing business in a circular economy.Conclusions and recommendations on the peculiarities of the formation of closed supply chains, the list of flows as elements of reversible logistics, methodological approaches to the use of inventory management models in complex logistics systems built on a circular basis (circular).

Role Of Information

Introduction. In the extreme conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic, the vitality of supply chains has come to the fore, that is, their ability to self-support and survival in a changing environment through restructuring and rescheduling of productivity with long-term consequences. An effective information system and governance can help not only improve customer service and control costs but also facilitate planning to achieve key sustainability indicators such as environmental, economic, and social development. The purpose of this paper is to assess the impact of the widespread adoption of new digital technologies on the level of efficiency of supply chains in the face of disruption caused by the pandemic. Materials and Methods. For this study, statistical data were collected for the period from 2010 to 2019. Sources: Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development; The World Bank; Institute for Global Entrepreneurship and Development, etc. A logical-heuristic algorithm was used to form a system of indicators for assessing the effectiveness of information and communication technology and logistics. Results. It has been found that countries with a high level of economic development as evidenced by persistently high values of gross domestic product in the pre-crisis period show high indicators both in terms of the efficiency of logistics systems and in terms of digital transformation of the economy. At the same time, countries with low and below-average levels of economic development do not show high results in the context of logistics systems, but they also do not demonstrate a correlation between the level of economic development and the level of logistics efficiency and the level of digital life. Conclusion. Thus, the study has shown that the role of information and communication technology in improving the efficiency of supply chains becomes significant in favorable economic conditions in the country, and in times of crisis, the role of information and communication technology significantly increases and contributes to the restoration of supply chains and the survival of business in general.
