Key words. Logistics, logistics management, supply chain, process, function, operation, structuring.

Systems of strategic supply chain design

In the article common goals and tasks of strategic supply chain planning are formalized. Key strategic supply chain modeling methods are analyzed. Overview of the corresponding mathematical software tools is provided. Conclusions and recommendations are provided at the end of the article.

Key words. Strategic planning, supply chain optimization.

Calculation of parameters of the cargo terminal of the multimodal logistic center

In the article the settlement model of the logistic terminal is considered. With use of the developed model it is possible to calculate parameters of a transshipment logistic complex, setting as initial its main characteristics. The calculation example with use of this model is given.

The Theory of Constraints in action: how to double the turnover of goods in a few months

Status of domestic transport and logistics infrastructure to ensure delivery of Far Eastern fish products to the regions of Central Russia

The questions of the organization of delivery of domestic Far East fish products to the Central Russia in modern difficult economic conditions are extremely important. Fish products have to be delivered quickly, qualitatively and for reasonable prices for the fishing companies. It is necessary to revise the tariffs for the transportation of goods and services of infrastructure which are carried out by Russian Railways for providing the competitive environment in the sphere of transportations of perishable cargoes.

This article discusses the main benefits that accrue to the company in the implementation of the module of the corporate system for managing relationships with suppliers.

Modified economic order quantity (EOQ) model with discounts (Part II)

The article is about the calculation of parameters of modified EOQ models taking into account simultaneous multi-product supplies and all unit quantity or incremental quantity discounts. It contains developed algorithm for all unit quantity discounts as well as calculation example for EOQ model without discounts and with different types of discounts.

Key words. Inventory management, EOQ model, discounts. 

From supply chains to distribution chains

Linearity, orderliness and structuring are the main targets of distribution, where the product consumer becomes a basic point. Accordingly, the logistics assumes a new role of the integrator in distribution chain. In this case product is considered as a valuable resource.

Key words. Accumulation, transfer, transformation, distribution, link in the system, consumer, valuable resource, chain reliability, the risk of mismatch.
