Dear readers! We present to you the first issue of 2026, in which we have collected a number of interesting materials on issues of modern logistics.
We are pleased to present to you the final issue of the journal in 2025 and inform you that LOGISTICS is opening a new page in its development by starting cooperation with the Crystal Growth Foundation, which means that the information saturation of the publication will change for the better. The first issue is dedicated to one of the innovative domestic developments, AI-Kantorovich, which the Crystal Growth Foundation created together with Hive Mind AI.
Dear readers! We are pleased to present to you the eleventh issue of the journal in 2025. There are a lot of relevant and useful materials in the issue, which, hopefully, will not be ignored.
Annotation. The article presents the problems of formation of functional and managerial structures and their practical applicability in real work. An example is also given of using the algorithm of functionality to identify deficiencies in the already created functional-organizational structure.
Key words. Company management structure, functional structure of the company, staff list, company functions, «Bee Algorithm».
Annotation. The article notes the relevance of logistics performance evaluation. It reveals the essence and undertakes a comparative analysis of the most popular enterprise management concepts, using key performance indicators. The authors identify features of the use of enterprise management concepts in terms of logistics performance evaluation, and also determine the list of requirements for performance indicators.
Key words. Key performance indicators, balanced scorecard, value based management, KPI, TQM, EVA, controlling.
The article raised the problem of consistency and clarity of management processes when setting goals and objectives. Often, even at the preliminary stage of the assignment, the initial information loses clarity and unambiguity due to vague wording, confusing logic, and the lack of temporal parameters and resource additions.
Annotation. The article considers the relevance of the problem of improving the quality of airline passenger services in case of unstable passenger traffic. It proposes ways of optimizing the costs in transportation services, creating additional financial resources that can be directed to improving the quality of passenger service. Solutions are given to improve processes for managing the quality of passenger services.
Key words. Air transport, traffic management, passenger traffic, unstable traffic, quality management.
Approaches to the management of discrete production systems are considered. For the planning and management of systems, it is suggested to use models and methods of scheduling theory. To evaluate the quality of the work plan, it is suggested to use the duration of the production cycle. A method for determining the loading of equipment is indicated. Recommendations are given on the construction of optimal production schedules.
Key words. Conveyor task, schedule, equipment loading, simulation of production process.
In the article, based on the analysis of modern literature in the field of neo-cybernetics and management of the life cycle of systems, requirements are developed for a system model for the transformation of the transport and logistics system (TLS). Integration of the TLS life cycle processes is a key challenge for improving the efficiency of the transport infrastructure, including asset management in rail transport. The authors developed and promoted the system 4D-model, providing the transformation from analog to adaptive-digital control systems.
The article analyzes the long-term dynamics of improvements of the values of key performance indicators at the steel company Trinecke Zelezarny, achieved thanks to information support of the advanced planning and scheduling system. The values of the quality indicators of customer service and production efficiency are investigated. It is noted that the achieved results in the period from 2007 to 2013 not only met the expectations of the company's management, but even exceeded them.
Key words. Advanced planning and scheduling, demanding planning environment, metals.
