Global and national trends in the development of the logistics services market, as well as the impact of pandemic and military operations on the stability of supply chains and the nature of the work of logistics personnel were analyzed. A conclusion was made about the emergence of new regularities, which, on the one hand, are associated with the complication of logistics tasks in conditions of uncertainty and increased risks of goods movement, and on the other hand, with the active use of digital and informational technologies that ensure visibility, transparency, security of global and regional supply chains. It has been proven that the biggest changes have taken place in the organization of the work of logistics personnel, providing for a combination of office and remote working formats. As a result, the organizational structures of logistics companies are changing by shifting the emphasis from the performance of a certain function (role) in the management hierarchy to a set of specialized critical skills that satisfy specific business needs and allow rapid adaptation to changes in supply chains. The set of competencies of logistics professionals has been determined and hypotheses about their significance in the conditions of pandemic and military restrictions have been formulated. The hypotheses testing proved that at all three levels of significance (1%, 5%, 10%) there is an increase in the proportion of the frequency distribution of the characteristic on the requirements provided by employers, in particular for work experience, foreign language skills and a range of extra-professional skills. At the same time, the role of higher education is decreasing, which is explained by the wide range of non-formal education programs. In general, the discovered latest trends in the development of logistics and supply chain management, regarding changes in logistics processes and the nature of the work of logistics personnel, a set of critical competencies of specialists capable of solving complex logistics tasks in conditions of uncertainty and increased risk, will be of great importance for the logistics support of modernization processes and restoration of the national economy after the end of the war. New digital technologies actively used by domestic logistics companies to automate warehouse and transport processes, their monitoring and tracking in real time, will be actively in demand in the development of logistics infrastructure, the formation of logistics clusters and logistics parks.

This paper considers human resources to be important for the effective functioning and development of the organization in current socio-economic conditions. Corporate management involves the impact on people (corporate staff) primarily. The authors noted that the staff management assessment is a powerful instrument to increase the management process’s effectiveness. The normative documents of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine define the following methods of quality control of medical services: clinical audit and monitoring. The purpose of a clinical audit is to find opportunities to achieve high-quality health care. Continuous tracking of staff provides an opportunity to make effective management decisions and increase productivity. An adequate system for assessing the quality of medical staff should respond not only to the result of medical care but also to prevent defects. Personnel management in health care quality should be carried out to avoid mistakes in the provision of medical care. This concept is designed to create an internal structural quality management system. Therefore, it is essential to understand the assessment process and its interactions at different stages of the management process within the organization. In the paper, the authors determined ways to enhance the medical staff management assessment. The study presents the essence and features of medical staff assessment based on the general principles and methods for assessing the effectiveness of public and private medical institutions. The authors analyzed the medical staff assessment system in medical institutions and identified its features under medical reform. Besides, the study provided the investigation of the current state of the staff assessment of medical institutions. It analyzed the areas of concern in the methods and mechanisms of staff assessment. To investigate the current situation in the medical institution, the structure and movement of medical staff were analyzed. The findings identified the gaps in the current staff assessment system and the reasons for the low rates of nursing staff. The authors highlighted ways to improve the current staff assessment system in the institution through the social satisfaction criterion, interviewing the parturient women and configuration management of quality based on the PDCA cycle. The obtained results showed that the medical institution had different reserves available to increase the parturient women satisfaction with the level of medical services received.
The article is devoted to the study of the main project management methodologies, their origins and authorships, advantages and disadvantages in terms of their implementation. The published scientific resources on the project management evolution are processed and analysed. The modern concepts in formulating project objectives towards “faster-efficient-effective” were traced. The three perspectives of evaluating project success which involve project stakeholders, project managers and project end users are introduced. The main categories of the project management methodologies are outlined and diagrammed; the characteristics of every category are specified; the examples of the most established methodologies recognised in the business community are given. Brief conceptual explanation of each methodology is outlined together with its pros and cons and the most suitable areas of implementation are explored. The comparison of CPM and CCM is presented in a graphical manner. The latest statistics on the current trends in the methods’ usage is presented and analysed. It was revealed that there is a strong tendency in preferring and applying hybrid methodologies and a strong decline in consistent usage of traditional methodologies. Scrum as the most popular agile methodology at team level has been identified followed by Kanban and others. The extension of using agile methodologies beyond IT-related and software development applications has been detected. Basic diagrams demonstrating logical structure and principles of some methods are shown. Recommendations for considering specific project features in the context of its scope, collaborating team characteristics, level of certainty and predictability of affecting factors coming from external and internal environments, customer and stakeholder involvement, objectives and project success evaluation criteria are developed.
The article outlines the classification of airports, the role of secondary airports in the infrastructure of the country, understanding the need of the secondary airports' renewal. The aviation industry plays a crucial role in the development of economy of the country and international economic relations, as it generates incomes, job places, and opportunities for growth. Every country has both primary and secondary airports, regional (secondary) airports are a vital part of the aviation infrastructure. They are engines of local development and allow accessibility to certain locations, in particular those that are remote or not well served by other forms of transportation. They are enablers of free movement of people, goods and services, as well as of social and territorial cohesion. Furthermore, regional airports stimulate incoming tourism and employment, as well as facilitate access to essential services. They can also help to reduce congestion at major hub airports. Unfortunately, in Ukraine secondary airports are not cultivated enough, thus the air transportation is the neck place in most cases, but this situation may be solved with renewal of secondary airports' work, the importance of which is described in this article.
