EVOLUTION AND PROSPECTS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT

Abstract

The article discusses the main stages of the evolution of logistics in the world and Russia. The influence of the main factors on the development of the logistics outsourcing market and the formation of its structure in the context of logistics operators is reflected. Most enterprises in their activities need to solve tasks that are unthinkable without logistics support. And, of course, any company is interested in getting the maximum profit. The maintenance of its own logistics structure is always associated with significant costs. The main reasons are the low efficiency of using the car fleet, the entire logistics chain is often not optimized, the staff is redundant, etc. As the most appropriate solution to the tasks, the transfer of logistics processes to outsourcing is considered. For enterprises interested in increasing their competitiveness and investment attractiveness, reducing costs, freeing up internal resources and using them for further expansion in the market, logistics outsourcing opens up additional opportunities, being an excellent impetus for high-quality business development. It is shown that outsourcing logistics processes increases business efficiency, turning an entrepreneur or manager from a manufacturer of a product or service into a demanding buyer. To date, this is a generally recognized fact. The question of the demand of enterprises for the proposed set of services of logistics operators is raised. The answer for 3PL operators is already unambiguous today. Outsourcing the management of the entire supply chain is a much more difficult decision.
