Heading:SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT

Vaccine logistics: problems and prospects for digitalization

Annotation. The article examines the specifics of organizing logistics processes for vaccine delivery, which are carried out at four levels of the pharmaceutical cold chain. The article discloses the requirements for equipment for the transportation and storage of vaccines, and describes the means and procedure for monitoring temperature conditions during their delivery.

Mathematical optimization for business: mainline transportation

Annotation. The article reveals the essence of prescriptive (prescriptive) analytics and the methods by which it is presented. The relevance of the topic is due to the need for effective decisions by commercial enterprises in the field of mainline transportation, due to their rise in price. An example of the formulation of a logistical problem and a way to solve it, aimed at reducing transportation costs under existing restrictions, is presented.

Key words. Mathematical optimization, prescriptive analytics, mainline transportation, capacity, transportation optimization, cost minimization.

Implementation of digital technologies in fuel transportation management

Abstract. In the context of global economic changes and growing competition in the energy sector, traditional fuel transportation management methods are becoming inefficient. The study aims to identify key factors for successful implementation of digital technologies in fuel logistics and develop practical recommendations for optimizing this process. The findings will be valuable for transportation company specialists and researchers in the field of logistics digitalization.

Key words. Аutomation, security, logistics, monitoring, transportation, fuel, management, digitalization.

Intelligent Control Tower: prospects for use in logistics and supply chain management

Annotation. The article definition of the concept «Supply Chain Control Tower – SCCT» is given. The evolution of the Control Tower concept from CT1.0 to CT4.0 and the need to integrate control centers into the structure of modern multi-party supply network (MPSN) are shown. The main components of the MPSN information technology platform are considered. The ST – Control Tower Value Matrix 2024 vendor rating matrix is presented. The necessity of forming intelligent SCCT is substantiated and their main functionality and advantages of use in digital supply chains are considered.

Methods of increasing competitiveness of the enterprise through optimization of logistics chains 

Annotation. The article examines the impact of optimization of logistics chains on the competitiveness of an enterprise. Analyzing the multifaceted effects of logistics optimization, the author applies a modified view of resources integrated with the theory of dynamic capabilities, as well as a mixed method combining quantitative analysis of operational efficiency indicators with a qualitative assessment of strategic advantages.

Optimization of the system for assurance of the cold chain quality for immunobiological products using new information technologies

Annotation. The article reflects problems associated with medication losing its properties when the temperature exceeds acceptance criteria. Main potential risk factors of the cold chain are analyzed. Options for their minimization by means of introducing new information technologies are proposed.

Key words. Immunobiological drugs, quality assurance, cold chain, risks, automated quality management system, e-learning, Internet of Things systems, blockchain technology, Artificial Intelligenсе.

Distribution multistep optimization method of integration mechanism  in supplying chains

Annotation. Purpose of this article is to application of functional formula method for seeking of optimum integration mechanism variant in accordance with cooperation level of supply chain particitants. For solvation of this problem was used researching cooperation. Of manufacturing, transportation, trade enterprice, store’s operators inside different forms of cooperative activities was solved the multistep taskof distribution integration mechanism optimization.

The main trends in logistics digitalization and supply chain management tools

Annotation. The article examines the main trends in the digitalization of logistics activities and presents supply chain management tools. Five digital technologies have been identified that will become drivers of the industry's development.

Key words. Logistics, digitalization, supply chain management, digital technologies.

Supply chain sustainability: conceptual approaches, criteria, solutions

Annotation. The article discusses the key concepts of the supply chain sustainability paradigm based on the ESG agenda, supply chain reliability and integrated business planning. The author proposes a structure of criteria and a set of logistics initiatives that allow assessing and ensuring the sustainability of the supply chain from all its participants by combining the concepts considered into a single system of «criteria – initiatives».

Current challenges in increasing resiliency in supply chains

The article considers the conceptual foundations for ensuring the fault tolerance of supply chains. The fault tolerance property is manifested in the prevention, resistance and absorption of the effects of adverse external factors and the subsequent restoration of the supply chain performance. Supply chain resiliency management should consider ESG factors and sustainability goals. It is recommended that due diligence, traceability and transparency be used to identify and address irregularities in supply chains.
