MODERN UNDERSTANDING OF THE CONCEPT «QUALITY OF LOGISTICS»

Abstract

Every year the role of logistics and the relevance of its research grow under the influence of global trends. Consumers need a quality product in the right amount, in the right place, at the right time and delivered with minimal expenses. That is why there is a need to ensure the quality of logistics activities. The notions of «logistics» and «logistic activity» have been studied and differentiated in the article. Logistic activity has been proved to be a focused set of consistent interconnected logis-tics business processes that are considered as a supplier-producer-consumer chain associated with the supply, production, transportation and sale of products in order to harmonize the interests of producers, suppliers and consumers. Logistics is a broader concept than logistic activity. Logistics includes the production and management components: managing processes of material and tech-nical provision, production, distribution and marketing of products; activity on planning, execution and control of physical movement of materials, finished products, etc. Logistics has been specified to be management of logistic business processes (which directly covers logistics activities as an ob-ject of management and management activities) in order to meet market requirements with mini-mal operating and capital costs. Quality of logistics activities has been determined to mean the combination of properties and characteristics of consistent interconnected logistics business pro-cesses related to the supply, production, transportation and selling of products resulting from the interaction of consumer and producer as well as other interested parties, which degree (level) al-lows meeting various socio-economic needs changing constantly.
