Economic Basics of Perishable Cargo Delivery Management

Abstract

The article explores the main problems of managing the perishable cargo delivery, identifies the economic aspects of the development of logistics technologies. The foundations of increasing the efficiency of the perishable products delivery control system are proposed. Object of the study - supply chain management of perishable products. Purpose of the study - the systematization of processes of economic management framework of perishable cargo delivery and the development of proposals to improve its efficiency. Methods of the study - system generalization, method of comparisons, classification and analytical. Transportation of perishable products requires increased attention to maintaining the quality of the cargo. This is achieved by thorough preparation for transportation, strict compliance with numerous requirements for load, placement, packaging, delivery time, etc. All this places high demands on the process of organizing transportation, in terms of coherence and coordination of participants' actions, requires compliance with standards, quality planning of both the process and the delivery result. Based on the analysis of the main trends in the development of supply chain management system of perishable products, the essence and features of the basic principles manifestation of the delivery management process are substantiated and characterized.
