Improved Functioning of the Transport and Logistics Center: Concept and Management

Purpose: To enhance the efficiency of the transport and logistics centre by improving the operational concept and modernizing the logistics chain management system. This will be achieved within the framework of the regional transport and logistics complex. Methods: A comprehensive statistical analysis of the volume of transported goods and cargo turnover in Russia. This will be complemented by an analysis of regulatory documents, federal laws and theoretical provisions. The aim of this analysis is to identify any shortcomings in the functioning and research areas. Finally, a management theory method will be employed to optimize the work of the transport and logistics centre. Results: The proposed enhancement of the transport and logistics centre concept is founded on the reduction of costs for logistics operations and the optimization of management systems. Practical significance: The refined conceptualization of the transport and logistics centre operation is expected to enhance the efficiency of the logistics chain through the optimization of operational parameters.
