АУТСОРСИНГ ЛОГІСТИЧНИХ ФУНКЦІЙ ЯК МЕХАНІЗМ ЗАБЕЗПЕЧЕННЯ ЕФЕКТИВНОЇ ДІЯЛЬНОСТІ ПІДПРИЄМСТВ

Abstract

The article considers the combination of efficiency of application of logistics tools and the tendency of concentration of enterprises on the main types of activity, which provides ample opportunities for development of the market of logistics outsourcing and specialised logistics intermediaries. One of the most radical and effective ways to reduce costs is the so-called logistics outsourcing, which is used by almost all Western companies. In business, the word "logistics" refers to activities related to the organisation and optimisation of commodity, financial and information flows. The term outsourcing means the use of external (material, intellectual, labour) resources; abandoning one's own, often not key or profitable, business process and purchasing services to implement the business process from another organisation. This solution allows the company to focus on its core business. When it comes to improving the efficiency of logistics, it is very important to introduce new digital technologies and systems. For example, the use of logistics management software and IoT devices can help keep track of inventory and deliveries in a timely manner, which will help ensure smooth logistics operations. This approach allows you to control inventory and optimise transport routes, which ultimately reduces costs for your business. In addition, focusing on core business is key for companies seeking to remain competitive. By focusing their efforts on their strengths, such as developing new logistics tools and marketing, companies can stand out in the market. Conversely, by outsourcing support functions, such as logistics, to providers, companies can benefit from expertise and resources while managing their resources more efficiently. Outsourcing of logistics operations plays an important role in maximising strengths and ensuring sustainable development of the company. Finally, we believe that outsourcing logistics functions to partners is an approach aimed at maintaining operational efficiency. By integrating logistics tools and focusing on core operations, companies can increase their competitiveness and achieve sustainable growth.
