Abstract
The article is devoted to the problem of researching the logistic potential of the region. The logistics capacity of the region is defining characteristic for the development level of regional logistics system. Accordingly, the definition of its components and their estimation are important for drafting the strategic guidelines of its development. The purpose of the study is to investigate the main factors necessary for assessing the current logistics potential of the region and planning for its further development. The increase of economic performance of the region is directly related to the formation and development of regional logistics capacity, its components and methods of assessment. The article studies the method of assessment of logistical capacity of the region. As the main method of research, qualitative and quantitative analysis of statistical data is used. This method involves the calculation of an integrated index of logistic potential in the region on the basis of geographic, socio-economic, transport, infrastructure, and institutional components. For testing the methodology the logistics potential of Dnipropetrovsk region was analyzed. This region was compared to the Kiev and Odessa regions.

We suggest understand the logistic potential of the region as a set of optimal parameters of economic flows in space and time through the application of logistic management methods (Koblianska et al, 2015)
Conducted a regional analysis reflects an analysis of the state of the logistics system in the regions
Summary
New economic conditions in Ukraine caused the transformation of scientific-innovative sphereand necessity of its adaptation to radical changes in the economy. Ukraine needs to establish appropriate mechanisms to stimulate investments in scientific-innovative processes, in the recovery of domestic productionthat is capable producing the competitive products. The lack of attention of managers to the development of regions and ignoring the necessity of choice plan for the development of logistics infrastructure leads to the deterioration of the investment attractiveness in the regions and companies in the area, as well as macroeconomic indicators It involves the use of the logistics principles in a regions management. Logistics is seen as an innovative approach that ensures the optimization of flow processes in economic activities through the use of reserves for organizational improvement Dynamics in logistics represents the development, or change of a phenomenon or process in support of entrepreneurial activities (Velychko, 2013; Kovács and Kot, 2017)
