Planning and management of logistics activities of pig-breeding complex

Abstract

The goal is to analyze the functioning of agro-industrial enterprises, effectiveness of logistics processes that combine the movement of material, financial and information flows. However, until now these processes have been presented only as a separate area of activity of agricultural producers. In this regard, the aim of the study is to design a system for planning and managing logistics activities of economic entity. Methods – along with elements of dialectical direction of research, its methodological base includes monographic, statistical methods, scientific abstraction, as well as the principles of complexity, consistency, movement and development of economic phenomena. Results – it has been established that the existing logistics approaches to the regulation of supply, stocks, marketing, as well as organization of transport and storage facilities in many agricultural entities do not meet modern requirements. The most obvious and effective solution to this problem is the creation of an effective mobile logistics management mechanism, combined with an information structure. It is shown that logistics has been developed in large pig-breeding enterprises, however, it cannot be called integrated, since material flow management is a priority, and transport and warehouse operations are not fully developed. Conclusions – the authors have developed a draft of management model of logistics cycle, introduction of which into the practice of functioning of pig-breeding complex will allow rationalizing the sequence of actions and procedures assigned to the business logistics service, as well as eliminating miscalculations and errors as much as possible. The implementation of transport and warehouse automation project using a specific software product will contribute to modernization of logistics planning and management system.
