Multilevel prognosis of logistics chains in case of uncertainty: information and statistical technologies implementation

Abstract

Effective, strategic, current and operational management of modern logistics systems requires continuous monitoring and forecasting of their condition in many parameters. Especially these questions are critical in justifying the need for modernization or technical re-equipment of the logistics chains, when the issue for the evaluation of its technical and economic potential is relevant. It can be concluded that there is the need to study the issues of formation of scientifically based logistics solutions. Moreover, by analogy with the systems theory in engineering, it comes to research of the effectiveness of these decisions in conditions of limited, incomplete and often inaccurate information. In general, investment decision on logistics chain modernization is an evaluation of the proposed alternatives for the manager using a set of indicators. It seems to be appropriate to use a method of the potential distribution of probabilities when manager know only the data of relevant characteristics of the logistics chain projects. The application of the method is presented and it is shown that the quantitative estimates calculated by this method are relative and strongly depend on the choice of the base project.

Digital Technologies as a Driver of Capitalization Growth in Shopping and Entertainment Centers

“…-Shopster systems based on big data processing systems, Wi-Fi analytics and work with customer loyalty cards. The visitor counting system (Lukashevich et al, 2018) is a software and hardware complex, consisting of sensors, network equipment and software, that provides data on the number of people passing through a certain passage over a certain period of time. The Sales Flow system is an automated collection, uploading and sales processing of each tenant.…”

Reduction of uncertainty using adaptive modeling under stochastic criteria of information content

“…The entropy forms used in maxent applications must be either explicitly posited or derived from the entropy's claimed properties [16]. The reliability of the calculated probability distributions serves as evidence for the soundness of these entropies.…”

Digital transformation of logistic processes for a consumer goods company based on RF tags

“…For a full analysis, it is also necessary to understand what processes exist in production [10] and including what features the FMCG manufacturing company has [11]. Also important is the knowledge of logistic processes, including processes in warehouse logistics [12,13,14], as well as an understanding of the modern bar-coding systems principles [15] IV. RESULTS…”
