Abstract

The efficiency of the regional distribution network (DN) has the greatest impact on the timing, cost of goods delivery and quality of customer service. On the basis of the analysis the main social, economic and environmental indicators characterizing the activities of distribution networks were identified. The authors evaluate the effectiveness of distribution networks of the regions of Kazakhstan on the basis of the selected indicators and develop recommendations for their improvement. Research methods include correlation and regression analysis; factor analysis of data with reduction and allocation of the most important factors and the method of data analysis (DEA-analysis) to assess performance. Statistical data from 17 regions of Kazakhstan for 2000-2020 were used for the analysis. The results regarding regional distribution network effectiveness show the uneven development of distribution systems in the regions of Kazakhstan - from high- to low-efficient, which is the reason for the growth of the return effect in the most prosperous regions and reduction of the return effect in the regions with inefficient distribution networks. The most important factors affecting the efficiency of DN are investments in infrastructure, goods turnover and cargo turnover, the value of inventory and retail space, the number of Internet and mobile app users, the length of roads, employment, the share of recycling and waste disposal. It is concluded that the reason for such a high differentiation of the regional DN is associated with weak government support for the trade infrastructure environment, uneven efficiency of the distribution network in the regions and their unequal development. The regions have been ranked according to the level of efficiency of DN functioning. The results allow us to conduct differentiated policy on measures to support and stimulate the development and management of distribution networks in the regions, based on their level of efficiency. The practical implementation of the recommendations will reduce the gap in the level of development of regional DN.
区域分销网络:对运作和发展效率的评价
区域分销网络的效率对交货时间、成本和客户服务质量的影响最大。在分析的基础上,确定了配电网活动的主要社会、经济和环境指标。作者根据选定的指标评估了哈萨克斯坦各地区分销网络的有效性,并提出了改进建议。研究方法包括相关分析和回归分析;因子分析法对数据中最重要的因子进行约简和分配,并采用数据分析法(DEA分析)进行绩效评估。分析使用了哈萨克斯坦17个地区2000-2020年的统计数据。区域配电网有效性研究结果表明,哈萨克斯坦各地区配电系统发展不均衡,从高效到低效,这是最繁荣地区回报效应增长、配电网低效地区回报效应减弱的原因。影响DN效率的最重要因素是基础设施投资、货物周转和货物周转、库存和零售空间价值、互联网和移动应用程序用户数量、道路长度、就业、回收和废物处理份额。结果表明,区域DN差异如此之大的原因与政府对贸易基础设施环境的支持不力、区域内分销网络的效率不均衡及其发展不平等有关。根据DN运作的效率水平对各地区进行了排名。这些结果使我们能够根据各地区分销网络的效率水平,对支持和刺激分销网络发展和管理的措施采取差异化政策。建议的实际实施将缩小区域DN发展水平的差距。
