Implementation of the logistics controlling concept in the management of transport enterprises

Abstract

The article considers the peculiarities of the logistics controlling practice in managing transport enterprises. The depth of the logistics controlling implementation helps to analyze the functioning of logistics controlling and identify opportunities for further improvement. To determine it at the transport company, it is necessary to evaluate and analyze the performance of the logistics controlling tasks and the use of its tools. To carry out such an assessment, 20 indicators of the depth of logistics control implementation are used. Determining the depth of the logistics controlling implementation for transport enterprises goes through three stages: organizational, content-technological, and practical. The goal of the organizational stage is to create a group of experts and prepare relevant materials for the survey. The goal of the content-technological stage is an expert evaluation of the indicators of the depth of the logistics controlling implementation. The goal of the practical stage is to determine the depth of the logistics controlling implementation by experts. In the third stage, the analysis and discussion of the results of the assessment of the depth of the logistics controlling implementation are carried out, and further areas of improvement of logistics controlling are determined to increase the efficiency of the logistics processes management. Evaluation of the depth of the logistics controlling implementation was carried out at two transport enterprises; the results showed the intensity of the tools’ use in their management. The authors conducted an analysis that made it possible to determine directions for improving the logistics processes management for domestic transport enterprises based on logistics controlling, and to single out the stages of improving the management of transport industry enterprises. Mentioned steps are the following: assessment of the level and depth of the logistics controlling implementation, ensuring the functioning of logistics controlling as a continuous process based on Web-based and IT technologies, and using a wide range of primary and special logistics controlling tools.
