17. ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURES OF THE LOGISTICS ENTERPRISE

Organization is a system consisting of elements, the connections between which are ordered in a certain way.

The idea of a logistics organization is that changes in one of its elements cause a chain reaction of changes in others.

The course of development of logistics organizations in Russia by the end of the 1990s. has changed significantly. For a long time, the evolution of logistics organizations went in the direction of narrow specialization - the functions were split up, becoming more and more specialized and narrow. This was starting to lead logistical management activities into an obvious dead end. In this regard, integration is currently becoming relevant, i.e., the desire to cover the entire range of logistics procedures, to predict in advance the entire system of interactions and interdependencies, to take into account all the consequences of decisions made in the field of logistics: direct and indirect, immediate and remote.

Concepts for the development of organizational structures.

1. Compression of the organizational structure (staff reduction, network organization, grouping of functions, size optimization, deferral of operations, business process reengineering).

2. Empowerment.

3. Formation of teams.

4. Professional training (training).

The logistics system of the enterprise operates under the thoughtful and competent management of the logistics service and involves the interaction of employees of the functional divisions of the enterprise.

The work of external and internal services at a logistics enterprise is based on the following principles:

1) the principle of separation of tasks. External services (sales, marketing and sales departments) perform "customer processing". The internal service (logistics department) solves the problems of customer service;

2) the principle of customer service. The external service manages the execution of the received order. The system reduces the number of additional requests and reduces the intensity of data exchange between external and internal services when executing a consumer order;

3) the principle of cooperation. To support and relieve the external service, as well as to stimulate team spirit, employees of the internal service are involved in working with the buyer. This eliminates the traditional separation between the service that works with consumers and the service that fulfills orders. The principle of cooperation remains valid only when the external and internal services work together. It is important that the actions of employees of individual departments are coordinated as part of one team.

Requirements for the organizational structure as a process of customer service:

1) the efforts of employees of the functional divisions of the enterprise, as well as the available resources, are directed to creating additional value for the consumer;

2) all the means and resources of the enterprise necessary to fulfill consumer orders are available regardless of their functional affiliation. The main types of resources are in a state of constant readiness to perform the required work, operations, services;

3) the activities of employees of functional units are organized and focused on the implementation of a holistic process of fulfilling consumer orders.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

The fastest ant 16.10.2019

British scientists have announced that the Saharan silver ant (Cataglyphis bombycina) can cover a distance of almost a meter per second, that is, 100 times its body length.

Ants live in some of the most extreme environments among insects. They live in the Sahara desert, where temperatures can reach 60 degrees Celsius. Most animals try to hide in the hottest time, but not ants. During the period of activity, which reaches a maximum of 10 minutes, they roam the desert sands in search of insects and small animals that have become victims of the heat.

Since the 1980s, scientists have assumed that Saharan silver ants can move at a speed of a meter per second. However, this statement has long been questioned by researchers. Now scientists have measured the speed of movement of insects and found out that in a second they cover a distance of 85,5 centimeters, that is, a little less than a meter.
