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.
