The perfect balance of speed and efficiency.

Last decades there is observed a constant interest in the theory and practice of logistics, as logistic technologies enable to gain important competitive advantages. It is considered in our company that logistics secures the delivery of needed product in the needed quantity and quality to the needed place at the needed time to the concrete consumer with optimal costs.

The implementation of this simple rule allows to reach 30-50% of stocks reduction, 25-45% of production running duration from producer to ultimate customer, provides the opportunity to cut down distribution expenses, to accelerate the turnover of capital, to increase the level of consumer satisfaction in product quality and service.

What is the reason of the growing logistics importance? As You know, at the present stage of the market economy development consumer have total freedom of choice of goods and service level he is ready to pay for. Due to the intensification of competition sellers have to minimize the markup or expand service. Besides, retail frequently dictates sale prices to producers. Producers naturally look for the method of abating process costs.

Analyzing overall cost of a product (total process costs and distribution costs) one can notice that unit weight of production and trade costs decreases and the distribution costs on the contrary increase.

Logistic is also called an instrument of integrated business management in 21st century, coordinator of local objects of every department operation with a global business object. It supports systemic stability of a company at the market, smoothing the contradictions between purchase, production, finances, marketing and sales, optimizing internal functional decisions.

Thus Logistics is the bearer of new methodological approaches to company operation in the market conditions.

One of the recent definitions of logistics sounds: "Logistics is the general point of view - strategic, tactical and operational – of a company and its business-partners and product flow as an integrator".

Today logistics is mostly interpreted up to delivery chain. SCM is the strategy of the IT-TAI Company business. It ensures effective product flows, flows of funds and data flows control for providing their synchronization in the organizational structure. In every link of this complex chain there exist the loss of time, resources, money because of too long storing, irrational delivery, uncoordinated planning. If all the necessary operations for delivery of goods to ultimate consumer are regarded as a link of a single business-process, a company can achieve considerable cost reduction, decrease goods in process volume and increase profits.

Application of new technologies in the projecting and organizing of delivery chain functioning in real time enables the IT-TAI Company to manage efficiently the following factors:

• Time for sales (rate of implementation of company’s opportunities at the market);
• Time for service (rate of execution of customer’s order);
• Time for reaction (rate of product adaptation to ever-changing demand).

New principles of organization and management based on conceptual approaches and method of thinking are joined into the general notion "logistics", which is used in the IT-TAI Company increasingly and successfully.
