Abstract

The multidimensionality of transformations that take place, the diversity of destabilizing factors in the environment reduce reliability, sustainability, efficiency of both logistics processes and the entire production and economic activity, and they need their modern economic reflection. The successful activity in the unstable economic environment is impossible without proper strategic analysis and the formation of the effective management system that requires the search for new techniques, the development of logistics-oriented concepts, management approaches to logistics processes that can ensure the goals achievement under the continuous systemic development and disturbance flow. The goal of the research is to improve the technique and develop a management model for logistics processes, considering the effect of the disturbance flow. In accordance with the goal, it is necessary to solve the following scientific problems: to reveal the patterns of logistics processes for the formation of a signal system on management points within the framework of management structures; to develop components of the management technique for logistics processes, taking into account the disturbance flow; to systematize and supplement the principles of logistics processes for the formation of the rational totality of components in the management technique. Thus, the implementation of the proposed management technique for logistics processes will lead to the formation of optimal management impacts within each element, subsystem and the entire structure of the supply chain, ensuring the sustainable development vector at each time period and achieving the goals set under the influence of the disturbance flow, adaptability, flexibility and efficiency of processes.

Highlights

Continuous changes in business conditions, the development of information technologies in all areas of activity, the existence of sanction processes limiting production and economic activities transform the parameters of logistics processes, and lead to reconfiguration of supply chains, placing high demands on the reliability and quality of management systems
The results obtained in the course of this study develop the established methodology for managing logistics processes
The complexity and stochastic nature of logistics processes lead to the natural necessity of applying adequate methods, techniques and models for solving the problems of planning and managing logistics processes

Summary

Introduction

Continuous changes in business conditions, the development of information technologies in all areas of activity, the existence of sanction processes limiting production and economic activities transform the parameters of logistics processes, and lead to reconfiguration of supply chains, placing high demands on the reliability and quality of management systems. Despite a high degree of the study of general theoretical logistics issues and, in particular, management of logistics processes, many aspects on the application of logistics techniques and tools in specific industries and areas of activity have not been analyzed yet. Most of the models and techniques developed within the framework of the study of management techniques for logistics systems and supply chains are oriented to the application under conditions of deterministic parameters of external and internal environments, which makes it difficult to use them under conditions of growing destabilizing factors of the environment and updates this study.
