Dear readers! We present to you a fresh issue of the magazine dedicated to current issues in the logistics industry.
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.
In article discusses the efficiency evaluation of functioning of logistic system by means of risk management. The reasons causing difficulties of implementation of new methods of management are analyzed. The essence of the main scientific approaches to logistic management is determined and disclosed. The conclusion is drawn on efficiency of functioning of logistic system by means of risk management for ensuring steady competitive advantages and increase in competitiveness of company’s products.
The article discusses systemic aspects of the methodology of systems engineering methodology as applied to the field of logistics and supply chain management. Logistics Engineering is an effective method of integration in the management of complex organizational and technical objects in relation to the field of logistics systems. A feature of the method is the integration process with the stages of the life cycle of transport and logistics systems and supply chains in a bad situation with intermodal and multimodal transport.
The article is showing a situation of unstable consumer demand at the market of brand-new cars causing short-term production plan changes and related changes in parts supply chain. Also related problem and solving methodology is described.

In article problems of assessment of reliability and stability of supply chains of vertically integrated companies are considered. On the example of the entities of ferrous metallurgy logistical risks on the site of a supply chain of "Upstream" are identified: from suppliers of material resources – to production sites. It is shown that these risks determining reliability of a supply chain "on an entrance" are generally connected with procedures of supply and inventory management of operational MRO resources.
The necessity of optimization of transport-logistic expenses of participants of chains of deliveries is grounded. In the article, and also the corporate model of transport-logistic expenses of chains of deliveries offers an author.
Key words. Transport-logistic infrastructure, logistic costs, chains of deliveries.
The article clarifies the essence of logistics processes in supply chains, substantiates methodical approach to structuring of these processes, suggests the classification signs, providing structuring logistics processes and offers their classification.
Key words. Logistics, logistics management, supply chain, process, function, operation, structuring.
