Moreover, the article gives own interpretation of the object, subject and source of logistics risk of an enterprise. It considers existing approaches to classification of the logistics risk of an enterprise and offers the one, pursuant to which the logistics risk of an enterprise could be classified by types of flows and components of the logistics system of different levels. It studies the problem of building the system of management of logistics risk at an enterprise and offers own view on solution of this problem.
