An Integrated Approach to the Logistics of Supply, Production and Distribution Based on the Formalization of Logistic Business Processes

Abstract

The article considers the problem of integration of logistic business processes of supply of resources (logistics), production and distribution at an industrial enterprise. The aim of the article is to develop an integrated system of logistic management of a production enterprise on the basis of a study of the mechanism for managing the material flow. As a result of the study, the principles of building a logistic system for integrated management of purchasing, production and distribution logistics of enterprise have been formulated and an integrated management scheme has been elaborated, in which complexes of tasks at certain levels of management have been allocated. At the upper level of management is the distribution of the quarterly production program by months, taking into account production capacities based on the principle of specialization of production in time. At the middle level of management – drawing up interrelated plans and schedules of logistics, manufacture and shipment of finished products. At the lower level of management – the compilation of shift-daily tasks on the basis of operational planning of the work of workshops, sites and individual workplaces. When drawing up interrelated calendar plans-schedules for the release and shipment of products, decisions are made that simultaneously meet the requirements of production and the conditions for the sale of products. These decisions are the basis ones for further specification of them by production units of the enterprise. The proposed scheme provides for communication along a closed loop of the logistic system of integrated management: planning, accounting, control, regulation. To solve problems at all levels of enterprise management, it is advisable to use modern software systems, such as SAP ERP, Oracle Supply Chain Management, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management, Infor SCM, Plex Manufacturing Cloud.
