MODIFIED GENETIC ALGORITHM APPROACH FOR SOLVING THE TWO-STAGE LOCATION PROBLEM

Context. Optimization of logistics processes is one of the important tasks of supply chain management in various fields, including medicine. Effective coordination in medical logistics is essential to ensure public health and prosperity. This is especially essential during global emergencies when the rapid and efficient distribution of medicines is critical. In addition, professional logistics management is critical to delivering humanitarian aid, where the timely transportation of medical supplies and resources can be lifesaving. The most advanced technologies and algorithms are being used to improve medical logistics processes. This paper considers modifying the genetic algorithm for solving the two-stage location problem in supply chain management in the distribution of medicines and medical equipment.
 Objective. The work aims to build a model and develop an algorithm for solving a two-stage location problem in the context of the medical logistics problem with further analysis of their applications and performance.
 Method. We propose to use a genetic algorithm to solve a two-stage logistics problem. The peculiarities of this algorithm are the modification of evaluation procedures and the use of mixed mutation, which allows for solving the problem effectively, considering irregularities in the statement regarding the subject – the limits on the centers’ location at several stages of the logistic process.
 Results. The paper deals with a two-stage location problem with constraints on the maximum number of centers. Considering the specific requirements of medical logistics in the transportation context of medicines and medical equipment, a mathematical model and modification of the genetic algorithm are proposed. The developed algorithm is tested on model tasks and can produce effective solutions for problems ranging in size from 25 to 1000. The solution process takes longer for larger problems with dimensions from 1001 to 2035. Additionally, the influence of increasing the maximum generations number on the time of execution is investigated. When the maximum generation value increases from 50 to 100 and from 100 to 150 generations, the algorithm’s execution time increases by 45.69% and 51.68%, respectively. 73% of the total execution time is dedicated to the evaluation procedure. The algorithm is applied to the medical logistics problem in the Dnipropetrovsk region (Ukraine). An efficient solution is obtained within an acceptable execution time.
 Conclusions. A mathematical model for a two-stage location problem in the context of medical logistics is introduced. It considers the peculiarities of the medical field. A solution algorithm based on a genetic approach is developed and applied to the medical logistics problem. The algorithm has been tested on model tasks of varying sizes, with a comprehensive analysis conducted on the correlation between the problem size and the algorithm’s running time. In addition, it is investigated how the maximum number of generations affects the algorithm’s execution time. The role of each stage in the genetic algorithm research towards the overall effectiveness of the algorithm is researched. The obtained results indicate high efficiency and wide application possibilities of the proposed mathematical model and algorithm. The developed method demonstrates high performance and reliability.

Optimization of logistics processes of transportation of raw materials and materials

One of the main tasks of the economic activity of enterprises is to provide production with material resources because of the logistic approach. Any downtime reduced work efficiency causes financial losses for the company. To reduce losses caused by delivery problems, optimizing logistics processes is becoming increasingly crucial for the modern automotive industry. The paper examines the main theoretical directions of optimizing the transportation of materials and raw materials and characterizes their role in preventing the stoppage of the technological process. At a production enterprise of any industrial direction, the technological process or packaging line is stopped due to a shortage of raw materials, equipment components, or packaging materials. The scenarios of production recovery were considered. The scheme and stages of the logistics process are analyzed: external and internal logistics. In connection with the large variety of parts and their application on the production line, the paper considers the compelling concept of determining the "sequencing point". For a complete understanding of the construction of logistics supply chains according to the JIT principle, each element of the parts delivery scheme is considered. Any manufacturing industry faces a fundamental dilemma: higher inventory costs and lower shipping costs due to fewer shipments or vice versa. Today, it is practically impossible to ensure the daily transportation of the required number of parts, that is, to foresee the formation of small batches without the involvement of warehouses, which is explained by the large number of required parts. Logistics connections' main task is dividing work by stages of goods movement, leading to individual processes' division. The solution to this task is carried out by organizing within a single process the movement of materials and information along the entire chain from the producer to the consumer, ensuring the interaction of individual stages and coordinating the actions of all participants in the logistics chain. Keywords: consumers, logistics chain, downtime, transportation, logistics processes.

Digital supply chain inventory management: international experience and Russian perspective

In today's reality of the transformation of the market and business, stocks of goods become one of the most important and competitive assets since their turnover is the main source of profit for companies. The active adoption of digital technologies makes it difficult to perform tasks such as inventory management, the development of effective strategies and policies for warehouse stocks with unsupported approaches. In the current circumstances of the rapid development of the market, many companies must face many difficult situations: the development of new markets, an increase in the number of suppliers, the expansion of the product range. As a result of the digital transformation of the logistics infrastructure, the process of inventory management in supply chains is changing, which creates the prerequisites for the creation and application of completely new digital concepts oriented to the optimization of logistics processes. The present study describes the modern stage of logistic infrastructure digitalization. The impact of digital technologies on inventory management in company supply chains has been identified. The concept of a digital double is discussed, which is used to optimize the processes of inventory management in supply chains and its specifics.

Multicriteria Optimization of Logistics Processes Using a Grey FUCOM-SWOT Model

Optimization of logistics processes and activities in the function of supply-chain sustainability is a great challenge for logistics companies. It is necessary to rationalize processes in accordance with the strict requirements of the market, while respecting aspects of sustainability, which is not an easy task. Multicriteria decision making can be a tool that contributes to the optimization of logistics processes in terms of making the right decisions and evaluating different strategies in different logistics subsystems. In this paper, we considered the warehousing system as one of the most important logistics subsystems in a company. Conditions and the possibility of implementing barcode technology in order to optimize warehousing processes were evaluated. We formed a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) matrix consisting of a total of 27 elements. In order to determine the weights of all factors at the first level of decision making and its indicators at the second level of the decision making hierarchy, an original model was developed. This model involved the creation of a novel grey full-consistency method (FUCOM-G) and integration with a SWOT analysis. Since it was a matter of group decision making, we developed a novel grey Hamy aggregator that, by adequately treating uncertainties and ambiguities, contributed to making more precise decisions. The original grey FUCOM-SWOT model based on the grey Hamy aggregator represents a contribution to the entire field of decision making and optimization of logistics processes. Based on the applied model, the obtained results showed that Weaknesses, as part of the SWOT matrix, are currently the most dominant indicators, and that the implementation of barcode technology in a warehousing system is justified.

ОБ УСТОЙЧИВОСТИ ЛОГИСТИЧЕСКИХ СТРУКТУР НА ОСНОВЕ СМАРТ-КОНТРАКТОВ

One of the most promising solutions for optimizing logistics processes is the creation of automated supply management systems based on distributed registry technology, in particular a smart contract. However, in addition to the well-known economic advantages of such a technology, the expediency of its practical application will largely be determined by the stability of the functioning of these control systems in modern conditions of the threat of destabilizing influences. Currently, the solution to the security issues of smart contracts as programs are reduced to checking the source code of applications. Obviously, this is clearly not enough to ensure the reliability of logistics management, the stability of which can be determined on the basis of known methods for assessing the complex security of the corresponding IT system. This study adapts existing methods for auditing and assessing information security risks for an IT system using a smart contract, and the subject is to substantiate the applicability of such an approach to assessing the security of logistics processes, considering the features of smart contracts. The paper considers the features of the use of smart contracts in logistics processes, outlines appropriate approaches to audit and risk assessment of the functioning of the logistics management system based on smart contracts. Recommendations have been developed for the practical implementation of specific methods for assessing the security of an IT system using a smart contract, which is set by the authors as the goal of further work. The results of the study can be useful to specialists in the field of optimization of logistics processes and information security when developing new logistics schemes based on smart contracts.
