Regional logistics system: theoretical aspect

Abstract

The main elements of the regional logistics system are considered. It was revealed that the main link of the regional logistics system is the population (residents of the regions). The purpose of the development and functioning of the regional logistics system is to satisfy their needs. It is shown that the development and effective functioning of the regional logistics system is influenced by environmental factors, which are proposed to be investigated using SWOT and PESTLE - analysis methods. The use of these methods allows to systematize the strengths, weaknesses, potential opportunities and threats of the regional logistics system, to determine the main competitive positions and the most promising areas of development, to identify those factors of the logistics environment that have the greatest impact, and which should be paid more attention in the study of regional logistics systems.
