Clustering of logistics supply chains in the process of Ukraine's eurointegration

Abstract

This article delves into the concept of clusters within the nation's economy, the role of logistics management in effective cluster operation, and avenues for its enhancement. The research focuses on the socio-economic processes that facilitate the clustering of logistics supply chains for the company "PAPIR SERVICE SK" - one of Ukraine's largest companies involved in the procurement and distribution of paper and cardboard in rolls. The subject of investigation encompasses a comprehensive range of scientific, methodological, and practical aspects related to the establishment of a mechanism for forming cluster entities within the context of Ukraine's integration with Europe. Particular attention is devoted to defining the concept of an economic cluster, exploring the role of logistics management for cluster participants, examining prospects for logistics companies to become integral parts of a cluster, analyzing contemporary trends in the development of logistics management for supply chains. An arsenal of simulation modeling tools is proposed for designing supply chains within the market of printing services in Ukraine. The feasibility of proposing necessary alterations to the functioning of logistical systems and enterprises within an economic cluster is demonstrated. Implementing the results obtained expedites the processes of creating cluster entities within Ukraine's transportation and logistics sector, facilitating the formulation of strategies for their activities based on the application of scientific tools.
