Logistics of smart supply chains

Abstract

The initial study principle is the axiom of supply chains as the forms of logistics arrangement in the sphere of commodities and services circulation on the "simple-tocomplex" development basis: directadvancedmaximum chains of supplynetworks of supply chains. In the frame of evolutionary dynamics, the basic concept of Supply Chain Management (SCM) with its fundamental idea on integrated management of logistics business-processes based on processing the on-line information related to material flow is interpreted as the concept of adaptive management of logistical flows under the conditions of chain organization and logistics digitization. The digitalization is understood as a digital logistics transformation, which activates the information processes in supply chain management with arrangement of customeroriented networks of manufacturers, suppliers of goods, logistics service providers, and is considered by an objective prerequisite for the phenomenon of smart supply chains. The developed scientific understanding of smart supply chains and their intellectual functionality when forming the value propositions in effective ways is associated with the modern economic realities of the Industry 4.0 and the prospects for using analytical tools, digital information technologies as the main operational tools of the network logistics infrastructure. There is the description of the precedents and perspectives of using descriptive, diagnostic, predictive, and prescriptive analytics, Big Data technologies, artificial intelligence, the Internet of things, blockchain in solving functional logistics problems created in the world business practice. A comparative characteristic of the model for interaction of participants in smart supply chains relative to the traditional model is given. The potential of the smart supply chains logistics (by signs: speed, adaptability, accuracy) in achieving the customer-oriented approach of the integrated business is assessed.

Evaluation of post COVID-19 energy poverty and global trading impact on energy affordability

“…First, we use (Scherbakov & Silkina, 2019) spillover index to predict distances ranging in the period from one to ten, then present the minimum, maximum, and median indices. Since the sample size is less, Panel B has a wider confidence interval since more observations are omitted when using higher-order criteria.…”

Digital Echelons and Interfaces within Value Chains: End-to-End Marketing and Logistics Integration

“…In the context of the digital transformation of the economy, logistics is becoming one of the most effective tools to search for new organizational and managerial solutions [17]. Since both logistics and supply chain management in the modern literature are considered "as one of the priority areas of the ongoing transformation of the economy associated with introduction of digital technologies in economic processes" [18,19], solving the problem of improving economic relations in cross-border e-commerce is transformed into the task of ecosystem organization of economic relations.…”

Algorithmic Foundations of Economic and Mathematical Modeling of Network Logistics Processes

“…When developing a method for solving the problem of constructing an economic and mathematical model of logistics processes, an analysis of the literature and approaches of a number of authors in similar situations was carried out [30][31][32][33] with both new circumstances and peculiarities of the global business consolidation trend being taken into account. The emergence of logistics networks of complex topology, the allocation of a segment of third party logistics, the need to support emergent stock levels concentrated in the transportation nodes can be formalized using mathematical modeling methods, which take into account various aspects of interaction of financial and data flows [34], and with consideration of the specifics of developing digital ecosystems [16,[35][36][37][38][39]. These network-like objects can easily be associated with the geometric graph used in mathematics.…”
