Transformation of martial law logistics

Abstract

The article discusses the current problems of logistics in Ukraine that have emerged as a result of the war. Priority areas of logistics transformation are determined, based on current changes. The situation with Ukraine’s logistics infrastructure is analysed, and the damages caused by Russia’s military actions are estimated. The results of an expert research on the impact of logistics problems on business are presented and their main effects are identified. The study of current logistics problems in wartime in Ukraine has shown that companies are facing significantly increased logistics challenges. The most important factors that affect the efficiency of logistics processes are the instability of the situation at the front line, the complexity of transportation routes, restrictions on movement, changes in warehouses, etc. The article describes the problems of ensuring the safety of organizing and planning routes, warehouse support, and transportation. In addition to the situation in the warehouses, there were difficulties with the procurement of goods. This is due to the fact that the number of suppliers has decreased and the range of products has become somewhat limited. The main changes in the supply chains of enterprises are characterized, and the DDMRP approach is chosen as a priority concept for their transformation. This approach allows planning the storage volumes of goods based on the actual consumption, taking into account potential fluctuations in demand.
