Description
Summary:Optimisation of logistics processes, in particular, in the automotive industry, can go two ways. The first one implies that joint ventures are created with related component manufacturers on the territory of the base car assembly plant. This allows minimising logistics chains, which are reduced to the distance between neighbouring workshops. However, it is impossible to extend such experience to the entire range of components. Therefore, the second, comprehensive way for logistics optimisation is the use of modern digital technologies: internet of things, SCM (supply chain management) systems. However, implementation of modern technological solutions is associated with high financial and resource costs, which necessitates their effective investment. Consequently, assessing the feasibility of implementing digital solutions to optimise the logistics chains in the automotive industry is an urgent task, which is mainly the focus of our study. In the course of the work, it has been found that the level of use of the digital technologies by automotive companies is low. The key reasons here are their low practical efficiency, too high implementation costs as well as lack of digitalisation priority for the organisations themselves due, again, to the discrepancy between expectations from the implementation and actual performance indicators of a particular technology.
