THE LOGISTICS PROCESS AND ITS ROLE IN THE ACTIVITIES OF MODERN ENTERPRISES

Abstract

THE PURPOSE OF THIS ARTICLE is to study the peculiarities of the logistics process in the activities of domestic enterprises.

RESEARCH METHODS. In the process of writing the article, general scientific and special methods of researching the logistics process at the enterprise were used, including: epistemological analysis, theoretical generalization, analysis, synthesis, tabular and graphic.

PRESENTATION OF THE MAIN RESEARCH MATERIAL. The article defines that at a modern enterprise, the organization of production, supply and sales processes is ensured with the help of logistics. The essence of the concept of "logistics" from the point of view of foreign and domestic scientists is summarized. It was found that the logistics process is the basis of logistics. The main and auxiliary logistics processes at the enterprise, which consist of separate logistics operations and functions, are summarized. A diagram of the logistics process at the enterprise, which occurs simultaneously with material and information flows, has been formed.

Logistics operations with material flow in the logistics process of the enterprise are systematized, which include: supply, transportation, storage, production and sales. Logistics operations with information flow in the logistics process of the enterprise include: information collection; accumulation and storage of information; data processing; transmission of information. A descriptive description of the specified logistics operations is given. It has been proven that the complexity of the logistics process at the enterprise depends on the specifics of its activity and the technological process of manufacturing products.

CONCLUSIONS FROM THE CONDUCTED RESEARCH. Under the influence of modern digital technologies, the enterprise's logistics process will continue to undergo transformations that will affect its duration, the change in the number of logistics operations and functions, the transition to automation, and the level of cost effectiveness.
