Logistics process management: neutralization of after-effects on the basis of compensatory mechanisms

Abstract

The target of research is the algorithms allowing one to ensure monitoring of logistic activities with a view of supporting improvements achieved at the overall process level. A peculiar feature of such a monitoring is the availability of mechanisms including some means of improvement of the logistic process. The purpose of these means is to show how to improve the process instead of just tracing it in a conventional way (Kopitov, Faingloz 2008). As the logistic process is being improved, one has to achieve its one-to-one correspondence to the logistic activities (Kopitov, Faingloz 2011). By the example of a transportation enterprise, the algorithms developed have been used as a basis for building compensatory mechanisms supporting the investigated enterprise in controllable condition. The controllable condition was evaluated in terms of the enterprise’s potential of maintaining a steady state after compensatory steps were actually taken.
