Reliability of the logistics supply network

In article provides a theoretical analysis of the problem of ensuring the reliability of the logistics network. Considers the approaches of Western, Russian, and Chinese authors to the definition of the essence of the logistics network. Proposes the author's concept of the functional structure of the logistics network, which makes it possible to determine the dependence of the network reliability on the functions performed by each logistics node. Focuses on the high importance of the choice of operating mode to achieve the reliability of the logistics supply chain.
