Abstract

Supply chains uniting related market participants are characterized by a number of parameters. One of the keys is the value of transport costs, which, in turn, has an impact on such indicators as: price, sales volumes, profits of participants in the supply chain. For this reason, the study of the impact of transport costs and their structure on the economic performance of participants in the supply chain is an urgent task, both in scientific and in practical aspects. The presented paper contains a consideration of the parametric dependence of the value of transport costs on a number of variables, using the method of fragmentation of the supply chain at the level of the link “supplier (focal company) - first-level consumer”, and its relationship with the final profit of the participants. According to the degree of accounting and assignment of transport costs, the following options are being studied: inclusion of transport costs in the costs of the supplier (focal company); the inclusion of transport costs in the costs of a first-level consumer in the case of both non-integrated and integrated supply chains. The results obtained made it possible to formulate the problem of maximizing the profit of each of the participants in the logistics chain in the link “supplier (focal company) - first-level consumer” and get its solution. Estimates of the impact of transport costs on supply volume and final price are also given.
