MODEL OF MATERIAL FLOW MANAGEMENT IN LOGISTICS SYSTEMS

Abstract

The expansion of relations between regions and states is the main reason for the complication and lengthening of material flow chains. The logistical approach to material flow management involves the need to integrate all the elements of the logistics process into a single system. The aim of the article is to form a model of material flow management taking into account the whole range of information flows that provide it. To form the above model, the following methods were used: analyzed and synthesized information on approaches to defining the concept of material flow in logistics systems. Using a logical approach, the components of the material flow are determoned, that allow to fully identify it. The study also widely used methods of comparative analysis, a graphical method to reflect the proposed model. The article further develops the model of material flow management, which, in contrast to the existing ones, takes into account the whole range of information flows that provide effective management of material flows in logistics systems. The received model enables the enterprises to reach the set purposes more systematically, to increase the speed of material streams movement, to provide their quality and efficiency. The obtained results, which include the development of a material flow management model in logistics systems, allow further research on the division of functions in the proposed model and the organization of the transition to effective material flow management.
