Evaluation of influence of the logistics chain infrastructure on the logistics costs formation

Abstract

The article is devoted to revealing the influence of the infrastructure of logistics chain on expenses in it. Possible types of warehouses which can be used in the logistics chain were identified. The expenses on the functioning of the warehouse according to its parameters were analyzed. The variable costs estimation of the warehouse was modelled via the freight turnover. The fixed costs estimation of the warehouse was modelled via its area. Regression nonlinear models of variables and fixed expenses of own/hired warehouse were obtained.
