Abstract
Nowadays, digitizing the data stream is enabling the evolution of logistics processes. The data-driven network logistics processes are evaluated by leading economic indicators. The purpose of this study is to further develop the algorithmic foundations of economic and mathematical modeling of logistics networks based on advanced technologies that the digitalization process provides. Methods of mathematical modeling of flows of various resources in logistic networks, the structure of which is presented in the form of a graph, are used in the work. The economic benefit lies in the implementation of the planning concept based on leading indicators. As a result, using a set of formalisms, a mathematical model has been developed, which will make it possible to search for optimal solutions based on the criterion of economic efficiency. The results obtained will find application not only in transport problems. Network logistics includes the transportation of liquid and gaseous materials through pipelines, energy through electrical networks. A universal mathematical model will allow the results to be applied in many industries and economic activities when it is required to make economically sound decisions based on a stream of digital data coming in real time.
Highlights
The problem of cost-effective organization of logistics activities for a long time was solved using relatively simple techniques, the basis of which was a set of economic indicators obtained during the reporting period
This includes the possibility of machine-readable information exchange on goods and cargoes between machines, mobile computing devices, tracking systems, cloud solutions that coordinate in real time the activities of all participants in the supply chain
The structure of relations between participants in this segment of the economy has become more complex. This is caused by the processes of consolidation into commercial structures, which leads to an increasing complexity of management of such business objects, as well as a manifold increase in the time and money spent on ensuring the material flows of goods and cargo necessary to maintain a competitive business
Summary
The problem of cost-effective organization of logistics activities for a long time was solved using relatively simple techniques, the basis of which was a set of economic indicators obtained during the reporting period. Since such indicators are classified as lagging, the efforts of the developers were aimed at creating better software applications for managers of logistics services of enterprises. Technologies have become widely available, as well as equipment that can fundamentally change the approach to managing the processes of moving goods and cargo. This is caused by the processes of consolidation into commercial structures, which leads to an increasing complexity of management of such business objects, as well as a manifold increase in the time and money spent on ensuring the material flows of goods and cargo necessary to maintain a competitive business
