SCIENTIFIC ASPECTS OF SUBSTANTIATION OF ENGINEERING OF LOGISTICS SYSTEMS OF THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF THE SPECIALTY "APPLIED MECHANICS"

The article presents the results of substantiating the place and definition of machines and processes of the construction industry, united in accordance with the specialization of logistics systems engineering of the specialty of applied mechanics. An analysis of existing definitions of the phrase "logistics system" was car-ried out with an assessment of the term "system" in the context of engineering of logistics systems of ma-chines and processes of the construction industry. This is due to the fact that logistics systems are included in the generally accepted concept of "system", because they consist of system-forming elements, closely interconnected and interdependent with each other, which have ordered connections and form a certain struc-ture with predetermined properties. Most of the schemes that implement material flows during crushing, sort-ing, mixing, stacking and compaction are of this type.
