Methods for Improving Efficiency of the Innovative Logistics System

Abstract

The article studies factors that complicate the development of Russian export-oriented companies. The purpose of the current research is to create an innovative macro-logistics system to increase the traffic of export-oriented companies. The article describes an innovative algorithm for the interaction of export delivery counterparties that involves various modes of transport, foreign trade payment methods, costs and time under the Incoterms rules. Counterparties can choose any optimal delivery option. This algorithm provides export-oriented companies with an opportunity to find a balance between contract costs and benefits taking into account the time factor. An innovative logistic method has been developed for calculating delivery costs under the Incoterms rules. It accounts for bank guarantees and insurance, various modes of transport and short-term lending methods. The research results allow export-oriented companies to choose optimal delivery terms taking into account most of the key factors of the logistics strategy. The conclusions drawn can be used when implementing various export projects that solve urgent problems of optimization of logistics strategies and contribute to the entry into new markets.
