INTEGRATION THEORY AND EFFECTIVE PARTNERSHIP OF LOGISTICS CHAIN ENTITIES

Abstract

The main task of the subjects of the supply chain today is to transform logistics chains in such a way that the participants of cooperation will cease to feel the shortcomings of the forms of organization of their activities. The authors noted that one of the most noticeable trends in global markets recently is the need to integrate logistics operations and control the entire logistics system (production, supply, distribution), as well as to establish relationships between the customer company and the logistics service provider. The authors also formulated that the existence of partnership interaction is possible only when the corresponding agreed relations are established in the logistics chain, as well as when certain conditions of interaction are met. As a general conclusion, the authors determined that regardless of the content of logistics chain management processes, their essence boils down to the optimization of transaction costs when organizing supplies, and the competitiveness of enterprises in the consumer goods market depends on this today.
