INCREASING THE EFFICIENCY OF LOGISTICS PROCESSES OF TRUCK TRANSPORTATION IN THE ODESSA REGION

Abstract

An extensive network of all types of transport operates in Odesa and the Odesa region. All of them are closely related and mutually complement each other. The geographical position in the center of Europe and access to the Black Sea gives the Odesa region the opportunity to create a transport system with a high indicator of the intensity of cargo transportation from ports, in particular by road and other highways of Ukraine. Therefore, the issue of improving the efficiency of logistics processes of freight transportation in the Odesa region is urgent. Since these processes should be considered against the background of logistics relations between Ukraine and the EU countries, in order to achieve the indicated goal, the identification of a quantitative and qualitative assessment of the modern state of the logistics system and the determination of the main directions for optimizing the logistics service of goods flows between Ukraine and the EU countries, using the example of the Odesa region, are important tasks. The object of the study was chosen specifically for road transport, we will give the factors that reveal the advantages of its use. The given indicators of cargo transportation in the Odesa region over the past 18 years indicate a stable trend towards an increase in both cargo transportation in general and by road transport. The analysis given in the work showed that the enterprises of the transport system of the Odesa region during the research period have a positive dynamic of development. Along with this, there are problems related to the chain: "supply - production - distribution - consumption" in the development of the transport industry. Having important transport highways and all types of transport on its territory, the Odesa region can be considered as a main multifunctional transport complex, which combines transport, trade, financial and information flows. All this is accompanied by cargo processing, interaction of various types of transport. This approach will allow improving and increasing the efficiency of the transport system of the Odesa region, and therefore the entire transport complex of Ukraine.
