Automation of furniture supply chain management system
(National Aviation University, 2021-12-28) Klevaka, Halyna; Клевака, Галина Леонідівна
Management of logistics business processes in the enterprise is an integral part of logistics, which is inextricably linked with the mechanism and quality of management in the enterprise itself. The future of the company depends on the construction and implementation of business processes. The problems of the theory of logistics definition and its direct connection with business processes have been studied in their works by scientists, including M. Porter and M. Auckland. M. Auckland, in turn, highlighted his idea to consider logistics as a business process consisting of three local business functions, such as supply, production support, physical distribution. In turn, M. Porter defines the logistics process as an integrated interaction of business processes that go beyond several traditional divisions of the enterprise. The purpose of the presented theory is to simplify, unify and optimize the business process as a whole, rather than individual business functions. Logistics business process – an interconnected set of operations and functions that translate the resources of the enterprise (in the management of goods and related flows) in the result set by the logistics strategy of the firm. That is, logistics business processes are processes that focus on planning, movement of materials, procurement, production and delivery of goods to consumers. Understanding the combination of logistics and business processes has created a stable hypothesis of significant strengthening in practice, if the determination and modeling of business processes is carried out on the basis of structuring the activities of enterprises on a logistical basis. Business process modeling is a process reflection (usually graphic) of the enterprise's activity so that in the future these processes can be analyzed and improved.
Automation of logistics company’s business processes
(National Aviation University, 2020-06) Kolisnichenko, Anastasiia; Колісніченко, Анастасія Вікторівна
At the current stage of technology development in various fields of activity, there is a need for companies to switch to new working methods. Innovation is important for every industry. In order to remain competitive, companies need to use innovation and optimize their processes. Now, for a logistics company, the ability to flexibly manage the supply chain, that is, the company's ability to respond quickly and at the lowest cost to changes in the external environment and violations of regulations, is an important competitive advantage. The tool for this, first of all, is a good information IT system that helps managers and facilitates their work. The system should be configured not only in the company's processes, but also for the needs of customers, and also be able to capture all the nuances of working with a particular load. Over the past decade, there has been a steady growth and spread of digital applications and platforms in logistics, partly due to a conscious push by companies to introduce technologies that increase efficiency and reduce costs. The impact of digitalization and automation on the supply chain is widespread. Digitalization provides greater transparency in the supply and dispatch chains, and thereby improves supply chain management. The tasks of these systems include:  record physical data using sensors and influence physical processes;  evaluate and store the collected data and actively interact with the digital and physical world;  access globally available data and services as needed. The theory and practice of transport and logistics activities are covered in the works of such scientists as Smekhov A.A., Chebotaev A.A., Basel B.P., Mirotin L.B., Shcherbav V.V., Merzlyak A.V., Koskur-Ogly E.O., Glogus O.V., Kalchenko A.G., Eremeeva L.V., Lavrikov I.V. However, the elucidated approaches to the improvement of logistics activity by means of automation of business processes of enterprises do not contain practical recommendations for their application in the conditions of the modern environment.

Customization of warehouse services of logistics provider
(National Aviation University, 2020-06) Kuzmenko, Anna; Кузьменко, Анна Олегівна
Nowadays it is impossible to imagine a modern business without logistics. If earlier the word “logistics” was associated only with warehousing and transportation of goods, today it covers information flows, tourism, trade and much more. Each business involves a complex scheme of processes, which in one way or another intersect and depend on each other. Failure in any element leads to a cascade of violations in the whole system. For this purpose, it is necessary to clearly understand the concept of a process and its behavior while interacting with other processes, master tools of process design and develop several fallback options for actions in case of violations and discrepancies. One of the most popular areas is warehouse logistics. Every year, more and more stores open both new outlets and online platforms. Despite one trading network, these are two completely different types of logistics services. Shops try to retain their own storage facilities in order to optimize their costs, which increases the load on logistical enterprises. Products for stores and online sites undergo completely different processing. For on-site stores, warehouses handle seasonal bulk deliveries. Whereas for on-line stores, a stream of a wide variety of orders arrives daily and requires immediate processing and execution. Besides, there are about ten most popular delivery services in Ukraine and it is important for the client to choose the most suitable one. Moreover, different products have different storage requirements. Even if it is not about food products or others that require a strict temperature or humidity. Since the goods can be stored on pallets, in boxes, in plastic containers of different sizes, each type has its own type of transport and equipment. Accordingly, for different types of shipping and moving around the warehouse, different distances between the racks, height, marking and more are required. The number of storage locations and rational zoning is directly proportional to the cash and time costs of the warehouse. The number of customers and the type of their products also depend on the capacity of warehouse.

Digitization of processes of sea freight transportation
(National Aviation University, 2020-06) Antonov, А.А.; Антонов, А.А.
Up to 90% of world’s merchandise are carried by sea and the reason is that there are multiple benefits for foreign trade compared with air, rail or road transport. In an ever-growing globalized economy, the necessity for shipping bigger volumes of cargo in the less time possible is increasing. This has led to the construction of the so-called mega vessels, with the capacity to carry huge amounts of goods into thousands of shipping containers at once. This dynamic benefits the economy of scale and foreign trade, import, and export of all kinds of merchandise and raw materials. Shipping is present in the development of our daily lives, even if we are sometimes unaware of this fact. There are you four reasons why shipping is the favourite way of transport: ‒ It´s cheaper: Shipping industry has the most competitive freight costs, as is one of the most cost-effective ways of goods transportation through long distances. ‒ It´s the ideal way to move big volumes of cargo: Vessels are built to carry huge amounts of goods and raw materials in comparison with the capacity of airplanes or trucks. In addition, shipping allows the movement of liquids, gas and dangerous cargo. For this matter, there are certain regulations to keep the safety of the vessel, the crew, and the cargo. ‒ It´s safe: The percentages of losses caused by incidents during transport by sea have dropped until it lowest since a decade according to reports from Allianz. ‒ It’s eco-friendly: In comparison with the road transport, the maritime industry is less dangerous for the environment. The shipping industry is responsible for only 12% of the total of pollution generated by human economic activities. Digital transformation showed platform-operated companies such as UBER, Airbnb or Facebook to be digital disruptors. In many industries, we state that, in the blink of an eye, digital platforms dis-intermediate entire industries. We can see the same platform hype at clients from the transportation industry, where many players aspire to disrupt a market of a multi-billion industry worldwide. Forwarders as intermediaries were expected to become redundant and a bare platform model was expected to allow for direct interaction between carriers and shippers. Yet, despite numerous efforts, all platform wannabes have failed to generate game-changing effects and the market is as hyperfragmented as ever. Digital connectors may have the potential to reduce the need for freight forwarders to organize shipments for multiple parties manually. Direct interaction between shippers and carriers is technologically feasible with digital connectors and makes economic sense if a certain platform is able to bring together a critical mass of players in its realm. As a consequence, the intermediary function of freight forwarders is threatened by dis-intermediation and suggests that they are the predecessor of a multi-sided (industry) platform without transport liability. The purpose of bachelor thesis is justification of digital technology implementation project and project proposals development whose aims are increasing of quality of service and, consequently, competitiveness. The following scientist and researchers focused their efforts on developing digital technologies on transport: Konstantinos Gkoumas, Mitchell van Balen, Anastasios Tsakalidis, Ferenc Pekar [51], Dmitriev A.V [52], Plastunyak I. A. [53], Markus Fruth and Frank Teuteberg [54], Leonard Heilig, Eduardo Lalla-Ruiz, Stefan Voss [55]. In accordance with purpose of thesis was defined and formed the follow tasks: 1. Consider theoretical basics of international sea transport organization. 2. Breakdown of legal basics of freight forwarder functioning. 3. To study global modern marine technology trends. 4. Study current situation of transport market in Ukraine. 5. Describe general characteristic of freight forward company Navis. 6. Carry out analysis of the Navis business indicators. 7. To carry out of SWOT analysis of Navis company. 8. Explore the possibility of implementation the digital technology in the process of maritime transport organization. 9. Carry out calculation of the economic efficiency of the digital transformation. The object of research was the processes of sea transport organization, the impacts on this process and the ways to improve customer service. During the performance of the thesis was used general scientific methods: system analysis, induction and deduction, analyze and synthesis, expertise. During calculation of economic effectiveness of the project was used project performance indicators.

Formation of complex logistics customer service in the digital environment
(National Aviation University, 2021-12-28) Ostapchuk, Anton; Остапчук, Антон Геннадійович
In a market economy, the furniture industry, as well as companies in other industries, feels its severe external influence. However, it should be emphasized that the domestic economy has competitive products of domestic industrial enterprises. High-quality upholstered and cabinet furniture has long been appreciated abroad. The current period can be described as a period of accumulation of threats, so it is advisable to identify features of both macro and microenvironment, which have a significant impact on the activities of the furniture industry. Today, furniture production is an industry that is developing, gradually reaching the European level of quality and design. Therefore, it is extremely attractive to operators and, accordingly, has a dynamic to increase the number of competitors. Today, the Ukrainian furniture market is estimated at 330 million US dollars. The analysis of the furniture market shows that consumers increasingly prefer domestic manufacturers in their choice. The decline in interest in imported furniture is primarily due to declining purchasing power. It is also worth noting that the Ukrainian furniture market is not deprived of shadow production, which is focused on the middle and cheap segment. Today the shadow furniture market in Ukraine is 35%. More than 3,000 furniture manufacturers are engaged in furniture production in Ukraine. Among them: large furniture factories that produce furniture in series, medium-sized enterprises working on individual orders and small, of which about 30% – micro-enterprises. Globalization and the new internet-based capabilities of ready informational networking among companies impose and enable new value-added structures known as bot-tom-up economy. The structure and process related nature of the bottom-up economy is dramatically different from the top-down economy of the past in that it follows a logic of cooperation among smaller, locally based value-added units flexibly combining to form larger structures to generate complex products and services. This is referred to as open production by production managers and suggests that new technical opportunities might give rise to structural changes also in the logistics sector in future.

Information support for the control of the agro-enterprise transport processes
(National Aviation University, 2020-06) Stahura, A.P.; Стахура, А.П.
Moving agricultural products between different points in the country implies handling issues regarding perishability of products, long and tortuous supply chains marked by the presence of several operators and no alternate roads, the need to maintain a cold chain to guarantee the quality of the final product, consumption behavior and habits, and the role that health aspects and organoleptic quality play in purchasing decisions of consumers, among others. According to Pietro and Timpanaro [45], the cost the agricultural logistics vanes between 20-30% of the cost of the product. This can be even higher depending on the type of chain involved, e.g the distance from origin and the type of transportation considered. Thus, it is important to view the transportation and logistics system as a whole since “the production, exchange, distribution and consumption of agricultural products constitute the organic chain of agriculture reproduction. Any deficiency of them will affect the development of agriculture”. Moreover, it is important the study of distribution networks in order to address the different issues existing between the diverse parties involved in the transportation and distribution systems of products. Daganzo, for example, establishes the principle of distribution network application with the goal of uniting one origin with one destination, one origin to many destinations and many to many systems using transshipment centers and providing methods to solve it. On the other hand, Agra demonstrated that the costs associated with the transport of goods represent a large part of the final cost.
