Heading:SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT

Concept of combined planning of vaccine delivery

Annotation. This article presents a concept for combined vaccine delivery planning, which focuses on using various delivery methods to ensure timely replenishment of vaccines within the vaccination schedule at minimal cost while respecting resource and budget constraints. The developed analytical expressions can be used to formulate optimal delivery options for both routine and emergency immunization.
Key words. Vaccine cold chain, optimal delivery plan, combined planning, logistics resources, cost minimization.

The economic logic of SCM: from cost minimization to alternative value management

Annotation. The article presents the results of a comprehensive critical analysis of the theory and practice of logistics and supply chain management (SCM). The paper substantiates the author's system of seven principles for designing supply chains. The scientific novelty lies in the development of the concept of an «ideal» supply chain based on the use of an optimal inventory level and the maximization of the profitability of immobilized funds (capital) in the material flow.

Supply chain as a complex adaptive system: a process-based approach to modeling

Annotation. The article examines the supply chain as a complex adaptive system (CAS). Based on the analysis of the Red Sea crisis (2024) and the Toyota case (2011), the «BPM–CAS Supply Chain» model with a KPI system is substantiated. The model enables determining the type of required adaptation based on the values of key performance indicators. The solution is applicable for enhancing the resilience of global and regional supply chains.
Key words. Supply chain, complex adaptive system, process approach, BPM, SCM, resilience, KPI.

Improving the sustainability and reliability of supply chains during digital transformation

Annotation. The article on the importance of increasing the sustainability and reliability of supply chains in an unstable economy is shown. The distinctive characteristics of the concepts related to the sustainability and reliability of the supply chain are identified. The main ways of increasing the sustainability of the supply chain in the context of the ESG paradigm are presented. A digital platform for managing the sustainability and reliability of the supply chain is proposed.

Methodology of algorithmic transformation of dispatching and routing in the service department of an oil company (using the example of the MUWR of PJSC Tatneft)

Annotation. The article presents an approach to increase the operational efficiency of the transport logistics of the oil company's service division. The task of routing specialized equipment is formalized as a task of routing transport with time windows, a heterogeneous fleet and several deployment bases. A three-level decomposition of the problem is proposed: optimal assignment of crews to wells using the Hungarian algorithm, routing using the Clark-Wright heuristic method, and predictive forecasting of the duration of repairs.

The New Architecture of Global Logistics: Russia's Role in the Formation of Trans-Arctic Transport Corridors

A methodological approach to the implementation of outsourcing for securing cargo inside a container in the activities of a transport and logistics company

Annotation. Various approaches to outsourcing logistics functions exist, but they do not allow for a full assessment of the effectiveness of outsourcing for such a specialized operation as container cargo securing. This article proposes a methodological approach that comprehensively considers the indicators necessary for outsourcing selection. Its key element is a detailed selection procedure based on expert assessments and adaptation to specific conditions.
Key words. Outsourcing, methodological approach, cost optimization, contractor selection criteria.

Analysis of the existing logistics model at LLC Rostselmash and justification for the transition to a decentralized supply structure

Annotation. The article examines the problems of the current centralized logistics model at Rostselmash – a leading Russian manufacturer of agricultural machinery. Based on an analysis of existing logistical constraints and a comparative study with competitors (CLAAS, Gomselmash, etc.), the necessity of transitioning to a decentralized supply structure is substantiated. The projected economic and operational outcomes of implementing regional hubs are described, as well as the groundwork for the next stage – logistics automation.

Increasing the Potential for Joint Development of Supply Chain Participants through Improved Distribution and Use of Integration Mechanisms

Annotation. This article proposes a unique approach to increasing the potential for joint development of supply chain participants through improved distribution and use of integration mechanisms.
Key words. Integration mechanisms, multi-level integration spiral, supply chain participant joint development planning algorithm, logistics costs, end-to-end supply chain, harmonization of partner companies' management documentation, resource sharing.

Development of the system of wholesale and logistics centers in the Republic of Crimea as the main aspect of optimization of trade activities

Annotation. The article presents the results of the study of the state of the trade sphere in the Republic of Crimea. The dynamics of the main economic indicators characterizing the state of domestic trade are determined. The main provisions in the system of state support for the development of trade activities in the region are studied. The role of wholesale and logistics centers in improving the quality of supply on the commodity market of the region is determined.
