Efficiency of Logistic Systems

Abstract

The article is aimed at determining external and internal factors influencing the efficiency of logistic systems. The article analyzes the current scientific approaches to determining the essence of the efficiency of logistics activities as one of the most important activities of logistic systems. The efficiency of the logistic system is influenced by many internal and external factors that have their own features for each system. The author generalizes the factors of external and internal influence on the efficiency of logistic systems, taking into account their features. On the basis of the methods existing in the economic literature for analyzing the efficiency of logistic systems, the article provides a sequence of an assessment of efficiency. A classification of internal factors of influence on the efficiency of logistic systems is proposed. Internal factors influencing the efficiency of the logistic system are grouped according to the following characteristics: managers, informational, financial, integral and functional. Identification and grouping of internal factors influencing the efficiency of logistic systems makes it possible to conduct a systematic analysis in various areas of their activities. Taking into account the integrated approach to determining the efficiency of logistic systems, a methodology for calculating their efficiency by the effectiveness of various subsystems is proposed. Determination of internal indicators of influence on the efficiency of logistic systems allows more efficient management of the logistic system, analyze all internal logistic processes and carry out systematic control over the results of logistic systems.
