DETERMINING THE FEASIBILITY OF USING A LOGISTICS CENTER IN SUNFLOWER OIL ROAD TRANSPORTATION SUPPLY CHAIN

The Ukraine agro-industrial complex is one of the budget filling main sources. Therefore, it must be constantly modernized, invested in scientific developments and constantly updated equipment, which, in turn, will increase the main agricultural crops production profitability.
Increasing the road transport efficiency as a whole, as well as increasing the sunflower oil road transportation efficiency is an important state task for Ukraine, especially in the Ukraine transport sector deep crisis conditions, caused by russian federation military aggression.
When the sunflower oil supply chain building, several schemes for the transportation process organization are used - according to the direct option or with the logistics center use.
The using a logistics center expediency in the supply chain for sunflower oil automobile transportation will be conducted on the determining basis the total transportation costs according to two schemes.
In connection with the using natural research methods impossibility (large material costs), it is advisable to use mathematical modeling methods when conducting experimental studies due to their universality and high accuracy.
The sunflower oil road transportation system mathematical model according to the direct option was built and the using the logistics center feasibility area for a given transportation volume was determined.
The proposed sunflower oil road transportation models for two transportation options: direct option and using a logistics center correspond modern market conditions - minimal laboriousness and ease of implementation.
When the transportation volume value is 100 tons and the transportation distance changes from 51 km to 536 km it is more appropriate to use the direct option and with an increase in the transportation distance, you need to choose the option using logistics centers, since the costs are much lower than with the direct option.
