Abstract
The study topic focuses on the process of establishing a logistics channel based on the configuration of the logistics system for the distribution of mass-produced goods. The aim of the research is to develop information technology for logistics channel configuration options. The logistics system consists of two types of business processes: transportation of finished products (FP), storage of FP. A number of producers, product consolidation centers, customization centers and numerous consumers are considered. A transport problem with two intermediate units is decomposed into two ones. A scattering task solves the problem of linking particular product consumers to the relevant customization warehouses. The second transportation problem solves the problem of FP delivery from manufacturers' warehouses to regional ones, and has intermediate units for product consolidation. Functional requirements are formed to solve these tasks. Three actors are represented in the use case diagram. The expert forms the background information for the task of configuring the logistics distribution system. An analyst provides input-based solutions to various tasks that are part of technology of logistics system configuring. The decision maker is the actor who chooses the solution from the many effective ones. An information technology has been developed, the deployment diagram of which consists of four nodes: Client, Web server, Application server, Data base. The results of the study are presented in the form of configurations of the logistics distribution system based on the following parameters: number of warehouse facilities for consolidation and customization of the FP; level of insurance supply; order cycles length of FP. The further use of the results obtained is to determine the level of service for the specific configuration options as well as their sustainability in relation to different emergency situations. The results obtained are the basis for the organizational structure for the management of the logistics distribution system.
