Assessment of the level of logistisation of trade enterprises

The activity of trade enterprises forms a significant contribution to the regional and national economies, and improving the efficiency of their functioning is one of the most important tasks, the achievement of which is possible with the help of logistics tools. The purpose of this study is to develop a methodology for assessing the level of logistisation of economic entities (trade enterprises) in the market. The authors proposed a methodology for assessing the level of logistisation on the basis of the indicator of the level of implementation of logistics approaches in the activities of trade enterprises. The proposed complex indicator allows to evaluate various parameters of logistics development at the enterprise that are significant for business and to determine the overall level of logistisation activity. Approbation of the methodology for assessing the level of logistisation of trade enterprises allowed us to conclude that the level of logistisation and, consequently, the efficiency of trade enterprises for the period under consideration has increased, which may become a potential for growth of the region’s economy. The methodology for assessing the level of logistisation allows evaluating both the process of implementation of logistics approaches in the activities of the enterprise and the integrative effect of logistisation, and the obtained results of the study can serve as a basis for management to plan and adjust logistics activities. In the course of the study, to achieve the set goals and objectives of the research methods of comparative analysis, synthesis, theories of logistics, and sociological methods were used.
