Purpose. To achieve an integrated approach to assess the readiness of a higher educational institution for digital transformation in the form of a multi-criteria analysis of the university activities and development. Methodology. The approach of educational institutions rating assessment, based on a hierarchical criterion, called the Index of Information and Communication Technologies Development (hereinafter ICT Index) is proposed in the work. The approach is considered to be an analogy of the Networked Readiness Index developed by the Information Technology Group at Harvard Universitys Center. Findings. It is proposed to follow the approach of the ICT Index calculating as a universal metric for the digital transformation level assessment of educational institutions based on the Networked Readiness Index, namely to adopt abstract categories of top-level criteria and to average the values of hierarchical nesting. Originality. The approach originality consists in the weight coefficients input at any level of the hierarchy. In addition, the approach provides a flexible choice of the Index resulting scale for the most understandable interpretation of the results, as well as the universal mathematical apparatus development for Index calculating. The proposed mathematical apparatus can be easily modified for any specificity of an educational institution and its criteria. Practical value. The use of the ICT Index for all educational institutions in Kazakhstan will solve the problems of automating processes to ensure training and expanding the technological capabilities of educational institutions for modifying the forms of education at the state level by bringing the assessment indicators of all objects to a single scale.

This paper is devoted to the study of the impact of volumetric planning solutions and the main production and technological parameters of a modern warehouse on the effectiveness of its functioning. The object of analysis is a class A warehouse complex located in Almaty. Simulation modeling was utilized to find and substantiate management decisions. The software product AnyLogic was used as the environment for the simulation. This paper develops a generalized algorithm for creating simulation models of warehouse complexes and a simulation model consisting of 114 blocks. The model is presented in the form of a black box, which made it possible to identify and establish correlations and relations between the input and output parameters of the warehouse, as well as its resources. A simulation experiment was conducted consisting of 63 model calculations. Variation parameters were the number of loading and unloading docks, as well as the number of forklifts in the storage area. As a result of the simulation, four options for the operation of the warehouse were established to ensure the unloading and loading of the required number of cars during the day. The optimal variant of the functioning of the warehouse complex was chosen on the basis of the proposed comprehensive criterion.

The goal – ways to improve the work of agricultural transport, taking into account the dynamic characteristics: freight turnover, transportation distance along the routes. Methods – comparative, system analysis, mathematical modeling. Results – economic and mathematical model of transport services and creation of optimal variant of organization of transportation operations are presented, which will reduce their cost in agro-industrial complex, reduce raw material costs, increase the efficiency of transport operation, maximize the use of storage space parameters and guarantee the necessary conditions for saving, reduce supplies costs and maximize inventory turnover. The technique of constructing a structural economic model for forecasting the volume of financial receipts from transportation of goods is considered. The logistics process is shown, which is coordinating the activities of purchasing service of enterprises, warehouse services, and production. Regularities are revealed that take into account the control over the receipt of stocks and supply of goods, rhythm of processing cargo flows. Approaches to the provision of transport operations with definition of the main economic and organizational principles and features are proposed. It has been established that the quality and initial cost of agricultural products are influenced by various factors, the most important of which is the timing and conditions of its transportation. Procurement coordination is carried out in the process of supplying resources and with the help of supply control. The main task is to match storage capacities with the possibility of processing products for a given period with full satisfaction of consumer requests. Conclusions – the formation of a network of transport and logistics systems in the regions is needed for the growth of economy of Kazakhstan and can attract additional cargo flows, investments, and create new jobs.
