Control agent performance management in enterprise logistics: process and risk-based approaches

Abstract

Importance: reliability and uninterrupted operation of production facilities are largely determined by the stability of logistics chains and the quality of interaction with suppliers of material and technical resources. In modern conditions, effective management of relations with counterparties acquires the status of a strategic factor that has a comprehensive impact on the financial stability of enterprises and production stability. Purpose: development of methodological tools for re-assessment of counter-agents as a key mechanism for identifying and minimizing tax, economic and operational risks in the logistics structure of enterprises of various forms of ownership. Research design: the author justified the use of a set of analytical methods in the formation of a rating system for evaluating suppliers, including analytical, comparative methods, and the coefficient method. The author proposed a methodology for re-evaluating counterparties using a multifactorial classification of supplier assessment criteria in the framework of the fulfillment of contractual obligations in accordance with the current provisions of the regulatory framework, industry standards. Results: the results of empirical studies confirmed the possibility of practical use of the developed methodology for managing the efficiency of counterparties in conditions of environmental uncertainty. The practical significance of the proposed methodological approach is confirmed by its successful implementation in the material and technical support system of the production company LLC Vostsibugol Company, which made it possible not only to systematize and standardize the procedure for evaluating suppliers in the framework of contractual obligations, but also to optimize the management of economic risks in the context of the process approach to procurement activities.
