Modern logistics is not just about moving goods from point A to point B. It is a complex, multi-layered system that requires a high degree of coordination, technological advancement, and strategic thinking. The presentation by Vyacheslav Chernov, “Logistics Network Optimization”, offers a clear and structured approach to addressing current logistical challenges within corporate management. The document begins with an analysis of the current state of the logistics network at Arrowai Industries. Here, the author highlights typical yet crucial problems such as overloaded warehouses, high transportation costs, and inefficient delivery routes. A SWOT analysis is used to objectively assess the situation, helping to identify both internal and external factors that affect logistical efficiency. This approach not only diagnoses existing weaknesses but also outlines opportunities for growth and innovation. A key focus of the presentation is the concept of designing a logistics network. The author proposes a shift to a hybrid model that combines a central warehouse with regional distribution centers. This solution is justified based on geographical logic and transportation accessibility, which would reduce delivery times and lower operational costs. Special attention is given to the digital transformation of logistics. Vyacheslav emphasizes the need for implementing automated warehouse management systems (WMS) and transportation management systems (TMS). He also suggests the use of GPS technologies, Big Data, and artificial intelligence to forecast demand and optimize delivery routes. This technological approach reflects current trends in logistics and underscores the importance of digitalization in boosting business competitiveness. The financial section of the presentation clearly demonstrates the economic feasibility of the proposed changes. Implementing modern solutions could reduce transportation costs by 15–20%, accelerate delivery by 25%, and decrease warehouse expenses. A return on investment within 1.5 years is projected, making the project both efficient and realistic in terms of implementation. In conclusion, the author provides clear and actionable recommendations, including network optimization, adoption of automated systems, and the use of predictive algorithms. The overarching message of the presentation is persuasive: modern technological solutions not only improve logistics—they make businesses more resilient, agile, and competitive in a rapidly changing world. Thus, Vyacheslav Chernov’s presentation is not just a theoretical exploration of the topic but also a practical guide to transforming logistical processes. It demonstrates a deep understanding of the subject and a focus on tangible results, making it a valuable contribution to the field of supply chain management.

GÁBOR NAGY - research assistant, Institute of Logistics, University of Miskolc ÁGOTA BÁNYAI - associate professor, University of Miskolc BÉLA ILLÉS - univ. professor, University of Miskolc Abstract: Logistics, as one of the most integrated sciences, plays a key role in many segments of company operations. Nowadays, efficient, fast and reliable customer service is important, and to achieve this, companies have begun to operate in a networked manner. In addition to customer satisfaction, an important aspect in today's economic environment is finding the optimal point for each process, thus achieving a cost-effective operation strategy. With regard to the forms of operation, the network structure appeared, which changed the production structure taking place at one location to the multi-location operation. This form of operation has proven to be effective in serving the globalized system approach, but the system alone cannot be effective. It is very important to regulate, maintain, supervise and improve the processes for which quality assurance is responsible. The thesis presents the versions of the logistics network models, their characteristics and the technological solutions present today that can increase the level of quality. Furthermore, using a known method, we present a possible performance measurement procedure for logistics processes. Keywords: logistics network, quality assurance, digitization, performance measurement

Razzakov, Kyrgyzstan Аbstract There are a number of untapped opportunities for cross-border logistics cooperation, one of which is the operation of virtual logistics centers. The Institute of Logistics of the University of Miskolc researched the possibilities of establishing and operating Virtual Logistics Centers in many fields (e.g. automotive industry, maintenance systems, etc.). The paper describes a proposed concept for the operation of virtual logistics centers for cross-border cooperation, as well as explores the possible benefits of the application. The proposed concept can provide a good basis for the development of a virtual logistics center in the border regions of Miskolc (Hungary) - Košice (Slovakia), and also in the border regions of Bishkek (Kyrgyzstan) - Almaty (Kazakhstan). Keywords: cross-border cooperation, logistics service, virtual logistics center

The article deals with the main issues of assessing the effectiveness of investments in transport and logistics systems, which, within the framework of a program-oriented approach to financing transport systems, may become important from the point of view of rational use of budget funds at various levels. Key words: transport and logistics system, supply chain, investment, financial flows, cash flow, gross profit, total costs, the function of costs, fixed costs, variable costs. The evaluation of investment efficiency in transport and logistics systems within the framework of the application of a software-oriented approach to transportation system financing is of great importance in terms of rational use of budgetary funds at various levels. A regional transport and logistics system is a system that allows for the delivery of the necessary amount of cargo (passengers) to a specified point via an optimal route at the right time with the lowest costs. The cost of product creation consists of production costs and costs associated with the execution of all activities from material acquisition to the acquisition of goods by the end consumer. A significant portion of the costs is the added value associated with transportation and logistics expenses at each link of the "producer-consumer" chain. The movement of the material flow from the primary source of raw materials to the end consumer also incurs costs, which can account for up to 50% of the total logistics costs. Optimizing the movement of material flows in transport and logistics systems is largely achieved through improving their servicing with financial flows. Financial resources can be transformed into various other forms: goods, services, information, labor, etc. Therefore, the rational allocation of financial resources is an important condition for the efficient functioning of the regional transport and logistics system. Financial flow in logistics is the movement of finances not only within the logistics system but also between the logistics system and the external environment, which is necessary to ensure the efficient movement of material flow. Financial flows vary in composition, direction, purpose, and other characteristics. To optimize the flow of financial resources in logistics systems, it is necessary to classify them. Depending on the direction of movement, financial flows can be divided into positive and negative. These flows are interrelated: an insufficient volume of one type over a certain period of time leads to a decrease in the volume of another type. Therefore, in the financial flow management system, they should be considered as a complex object of management. The main goal of optimizing the movement of financial flows in the organization of a regional transport and logistics system is to ensure the movement of material flows with financial resources in the required volumes and at the right time, using the most efficient sources of financing (investments). This movement is influenced not only by the amount of financing but also by the location (site of action) of investments. Such points are considered as nodes of logistics chains. The location of these nodes should be associated with the transport hubs of the regional logistics system. This is necessary for coordinating the management of material flows at the nodes and distributing the functions of the elements (participants) of the transport and logistics system. The main resource flows that form a node are financial, informational, and material flows. These flows are constantly or periodically influenced by factors from the external and internal environment, as well as intentional control measures. A comprehensive approach to managing all types of flows should take into account the following characteristic: the use of management methods and models should be aimed at changing the maximum possible number of resource flow characteristics, which allows controlling the movement of materials by influencing financial flows. The use of pricing methods and cost allocation methods used in calculating the cost of resource extraction and determining the price of the final product allows us to correlate parameters such as "production costs of the product," "marginal utility of the final product for consumers," and "predicted financial performance of the system's operation." In the proposed model, by selecting management tools and methods, it is possible to control flows at the nodes by combining these flows. Management actions at the nodes are purposeful in nature - through modeling, incoming and outgoing parameters of the nodes or values and direction of financial and material flows that form them are changed. Most often, the goal of modeling and, consequently, the management process is to change the volume, time, or cost of the flow (investments) intended for financing the distribution channel. In this regard, nodes that encompass all the flows involved in the distribution process are subject to influence. The location of the nodes in the organizational management structure and the regional transport and logistics system is also taken into account during the modeling process, although it is not the only possible option. In some cases, it may be appropriate to modify the organizational structure or the location of the nodes within it to allow access to them. Bibliography 1. Надирян, С.Л.

The concept and types of electronic procurement are considered. The drivers of more active implementation of e-procurement technology have been identified. The organization of procurement processes of state organizations of the Kyrgyz Republic is briefly described. Special attention was paid to the legal aspect of public procurement. The main problems of e-procurement and ways to solve them are also considered. Key words: procurement logistics, electronic trading platforms, EDS, electronic bidding, procurement department, public procurement portal Currently, the functioning of both commercial and government organizations cannot be imagined without procurement activities. Any organization, in one way or another, carries out its activities through the procurement of goods, services, raw materials, and consumables: from purchasing office supplies and equipment for administrative work to acquiring high-tech equipment for direct use in production or service provision to clients. The issue of procurement activities for government or municipal organizations is resolved through the conduct of tenders. Government organizations plan the procurement process for the next year starting from September of the current year. The Procurement Department collects applications or requirements for the procurement of goods or construction of facilities from the respective departments. Before the annual plan is approved, the Procurement Department will include the goods and services in the annual list. The task at hand is to prefer one of two alternative solutions: either produce any product, raw material, or component using our own production facilities or procure the necessary inventory items from reliable suppliers or contractors who specialize in providing them. According to the "Public Procurement Law," government organizations can enter into a framework agreement with suppliers. The essence of a framework agreement is: - Procurement of goods at previously agreed prices throughout the year. - In force majeure circumstances, there will be no need for suppliers, as under any circumstances, the second party will fulfill its obligations according to the agreed-upon terms of the contract. - The main reasons why purchasing from suppliers may be more feasible include: - Lower costs of acquiring material resources from suppliers compared to the costs of self-procurement of goods and services. - Higher quality of goods from suppliers. Procurement by government organizations is conducted based on reasonable norms and regulations regarding the use of goods and services. As a result, the quantitative aspects of procurement have a much lower degree of subjectivity compared to specific cases. Government procurement is carried out to address national tasks, with the priority being the satisfaction of societal needs, achieved through the government's fulfillment of its organizational and economic functions. The mechanism of government procurement is structured in a way that gives the state a dominant role. In government procurement, the state acts as a regulator of economic processes. By encompassing both the procurement of goods and the execution of works and services, the term "government procurement" highlights its systemic nature, which necessitates the development of a unified mechanism for legal regulation of the relationships arising during the procurement process. Externally, government procurement, as a procurement itself, does not differ from private procurement. However, as government procurement, it still has its distinctive features that manifest in the nature of the government procurement process: - Public need for the purchase: Government organization's procurement can be seen as purchases made due to some objective necessity that is inherently present in the activities of the state. - Rationality of the purchase: In the case of government procurement, everything that is purchased is theoretically only those things and services that are truly necessary for the functioning of the government organization. The state, as a societal consciousness, cannot afford to buy unnecessary, defective, harmful, etc., items that may pose a danger to the entire state as a whole. For example, purchasing low-quality military equipment can result in defeat in a war. - Quantitative rationality (proportionality) of the purchase: Government organization's procurement is carried out based on reasonable norms and standards of using goods and services. Therefore, the quantitative dimensions of the procurements have a much lower degree of subjectivity compared to specific cases. Government procurement of goods and services beyond their reasonable physical limits for periodic consumption leads to overspending of government funds, unjustified material losses during storage, and shortages. At the first stage, which is the stage of forming the government order, a consolidated list of the government order is created based on the volumes and scope of the government order carried out by the government, recipients, and managers of consolidated budgetary funds. At the second stage, the government order functions as an offer. Government agencies, budgetary institutions, or other authorized recipients of budgetary funds, acting as "state customers," determine the procurement method, set deadlines for bid opening, establish qualification requirements and technical specifications for the procured goods, and announce a tender on the government procurement portal. At the third stage, the tender commission determines the winner in accordance with the qualification requirements, who is subsequently obliged to fulfill the contract. In any country, the sphere of public procurement is always under close scrutiny and attention of the prosecutor's office and the audit chamber. Public procurement is not only a tool for meeting public needs but also a powerful and effective instrument of state policy. For example, through the mechanism of government procurement, it is possible to influence economic growth and development, enhance business activity, manage tax policy, and so on. An important criterion in forecasting and formalizing procurement is the time and delivery schedules of goods. Relatively short delivery times allow for more flexible planning of orders to suppliers, forming smaller but more frequent deliveries. In this case, errors in forecasting the demand for goods can be compensated by fast delivery times. However, for long delivery periods, careful planning of the needs and sizes of orders for goods and materials is necessary, along with determining the delivery schedule. This is because there is a lack of modernized warehousing facilities and equipment for storing goods throughout Kyrgyzstan. Thus, the procurement of necessary goods and services by state enterprises is more efficient than the traditional method used before 2015. The electronic procurement format has reduced corrupt practices across the republic by threefold. This is due to the publication of procurement notices on the procurement portal, allowing all eligible suppliers who meet the qualification requirements set by the procurement department and the purchasing organization to participate. The results of the evaluation by the tender committee are also publicly disclosed within a specified timeframe. Suppliers who disagree with the committee's decision have the right to appeal it through legal procedures. As a result, the tender committee carefully considers its decisions, relying on the law on public procurement. However, just like in any sector, there are drawbacks to the previous interpretation in the public sector. In our final decision, the tender committee is guided by the condition that the lowest bid amount is important. Taking advantage of this, unscrupulous suppliers provide the lowest bid and win the positions specified in the tender lot. As a result, they deliver low-quality goods. According to the author of this article, it is necessary to refine the law on public procurement and address the loopholes in the legislation. As practice shows, goods of inadequate quality do not last long, and the purchasing organizations will have to re-tender for the same goods using the budget of the Kyrgyz Republic. Thus, more money from the budget of the Kyrgyz Republic is spent on acquiring the necessary needs of the purchasing organization for the same goods. The electronic digital signature was implemented nationwide in March 2021. All actions are now verified by an electronic digital signature. The automated processing of electronic documents has reduced the time from creating a request to publishing a purchase to a matter of days and hours. The deep data structure from planning to procurement has allowed for the implementation of a multi-level system of control over incoming information to ensure compliance with legislation. Thus, competitive procedures for the needs of budgetary institutions and state unitary enterprises are conducted according to the principles outlined in the Law of the Kyrgyz Republic "On Public Procurement" through the government procurement portal. These actions have created conditions for competition to thrive in this market segment. Increasing the share of competitive procurement in the overall volume of concluded contracts will lead to positive effects for the budget, such as cost savings. Bibliography 1.

Choosing a life path is always a search for one’s own rhythm in the universal symphony of the world. For me, that rhythm — the pulsing nervous system of modernity — turned out to be logistics. My decision to pursue this field may seem unexpected to some, but for me it became a conscious step toward a profession that is, in essence, the architecture of reality. It is not an escape from something, but an immersion into the very essence of how our civilization works — from a morning cup of coffee brought from distant Brazil to the complex supply chains that send satellites into space. I don’t just want to understand these connections — I want to manage them. Since childhood, I have perceived the world around me as a set of lines and flows. We live in a remarkable place, where the majestic ridges of the Tien Shan stand beside the vibrant life of cities like Bishkek. I've watched trucks from China, Russia, and Kazakhstan move along winding mountain roads like blood flowing through arteries. I’ve observed our numerous bazaars which, though seemingly chaotic, actually operate according to their own strict and well-tuned rhythms. Every vendor knows where the goods came from, where they will go tomorrow, and how to find the shortest path to the customer. This is logistics in its most ancient and intuitive form — the art of connecting points. My passion for digital graphics taught me to see structure. Any art project is not just a burst of inspiration. It is a precise plan: from sketching and choosing a palette to working with layers and creating the final render. It is the logistics of creativity: you must ensure the uninterrupted “delivery” of ideas from the mind to the canvas, optimize the “workflow route,” avoid downtime, and ultimately produce the perfect “product.” I realized that building this flawless process brings me as much joy as the final result itself. And I wanted to apply this ability — to see invisible connections and build coherent systems — to something more tangible. And what could be more tangible and important in our global world than the movement of things? Logistics is magic turned real. Ordering a book from across the ocean, having fresh tropical fruits on the table in winter, the operation of massive delivery platforms — all this is possible thanks to the colossal yet invisible work of logisticians. They are the conductors of a giant orchestra in which container ships, trucks, warehouses, and airplanes take the place of violins and cellos. And if the conductor misses a beat, the melody of modern civilization falters. As someone from Kyrgyzstan, this profession holds special meaning for me. Our country is a natural logistics hub, the heart of Central Asia. The ancient Silk Road, which connected East and West, passed exactly through this land. And today, in the era of the new Silk Road and the “One Belt, One Road” initiative, enormous opportunities lie before us. I do not want to be just a witness to this revival. I want to be one of the specialists who turn our geographic position into an economic advantage. To help goods flow through our mountain passes even faster, safer, and more efficiently, bringing prosperity to my homeland. This is not merely ambition — it is a sense of responsibility. I chose logistics because it is a profession where analytical thinking and creativity merge. It is a challenge. It is an opportunity not just to draw beautiful images, but to design beautiful, intelligent systems. Systems that save time and resources and ultimately improve people's lives. When I look at the world map covered with route lines, I don’t just see a diagram. I see a grand canvas — a painting of global exchange. And I no longer want to remain just a spectator. I want to take the brush — or a stylus, if you prefer — and begin creating. To craft not masterpieces of pixels, but masterpieces of efficiency. To transform visible chaos into perfect order. And for me, this is the highest form of creativity.

Choosing a profession is one of the most important decisions in one’s life. It shapes not only our future, but also personal development, job satisfaction, and contribution to society. When I thought about my career path, I carefully considered different directions, but eventually, I consciously chose logistics. At first, I doubted whether it was the right choice. I asked myself: “Is it worth pursuing? How promising is it?” But over time, I realized that I had made the right decision. Today I can confidently say that I chose a profession that is not only interesting, but also highly in demand. Logistics is one of the most promising fields in Kyrgyzstan. The country is actively developing its transportation infrastructure: new roads, railway lines, and modernized airports. Cooperation with China has become especially important in recent years, particularly in logistics. The labor market lacks qualified specialists, so skilled professionals in this field are always needed. Moreover, logistics plays a strategic role in national development. The experience of other countries proves that an efficient logistics system can significantly improve the economy, accelerate the flow of goods, and enhance quality of life. I believe that logistics will become a key foundation for development in our country as well, and I hope to contribute to this progress. Working in logistics, I want to participate in building the future of our nation: helping establish transportation connections, optimizing processes, and teaching future generations the importance of supply chain management. I see this profession not just as a job, but as a path for self-realization and meaningful contribution. Thus, my choice is not accidental. Logistics combines potential, demand, and national importance. I am confident that this path will open many opportunities for me and allow me to be part of meaningful changes. A message for those reading this: choosing a profession is important, but not the most important thing in life. As Haruki Murakami said, “Live each day as if it were your last.” Everything will eventually fall into place — the main thing is to walk through this world with a smile. This was Aman — see you soon!

I can confidently say that I chose the profession of a logistician myself. This choice was not accidental. Back in school, I thought about who I wanted to become and which profession to choose so that it would be interesting, in demand, and beneficial to society. After learning more about logistics, I realized that this was exactly the field in which I wanted to grow. Logistics is one of the most important sectors of the modern economy. It connects production, transportation, trade, and the management of goods and information flows. It is impossible to imagine modern society without logistics. It is logisticians who organize the movement of goods, monitor delivery deadlines, and ensure that everything happens on time and without interruptions. I have always been interested in how all of this works: how routes are planned, how goods from different countries end up on store shelves, and how delivery services operate. I enjoy analyzing, planning, and finding optimal solutions, which is why I believe this profession truly suits me. For me, logistics is a very promising profession. It is constantly evolving and changing along with the world. New technologies are emerging: automated warehouses, electronic cargo tracking systems, delivery drones, and even AI-powered logistics platforms. All of this makes the profession of a logistician modern, in demand, and interesting. I like that in this field you can constantly learn, grow, and move forward. In the future, I see myself working in this profession. I want to become a competent specialist who can organize processes, optimize routes, and find solutions in difficult situations. I understand that this path requires effort, knowledge, and experience, but I am ready to study and work in order to achieve success. I believe that logistics is the profession of the future because it will always be needed as long as production and trade exist. The world is constantly developing, the volume of transportation is growing, and the speed of goods and service exchange is increasing. This means logisticians will always be in demand. I am proud that I chose this profession. For me, logistics is not just a job but an opportunity to be part of something big and important. I am confident that I made the right choice and that in the future I will be able to fulfill myself in logistics. This choice was deliberate because I believe that logistics truly is the profession of the future. It is impossible to imagine the work of any enterprise, store, or online company without logistics. Thanks to logisticians, everything operates smoothly and efficiently: goods are delivered on time, production does not stop, and people receive everything they need. For me, logistics is a very promising profession because it develops every year, and new technologies and career opportunities appear. In the future, I see myself in this profession. I want to become a skilled specialist and work in a large company. I understand that the path will not be easy, but I am ready for it. Logistics is a profession that will always be in demand. I am proud of my choice and confident that I will be able to build a successful and interesting future in this field.

Choosing a profession is not just a step; it is perhaps one of the most responsible decisions that determines our future. As Confucius said: “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” It was with this thought that I once realized that I wanted to connect my life with logistics. For many, logistics is just transportation and warehouses. But for me, it is the art of movement, the science of how to make the complex simple and the impossible possible. I have always been fascinated by the idea of how millions of goods cross countries and continents every day, how thanks to a clear plan and precise calculations the whole world is connected by invisible threads — routes, transport, decisions. I chose logistics because it combines everything that is close to me: analysis, strategy, responsibility, and dynamics. There is no place for boredom here — every day brings new tasks, new routes, new challenges. And in this, I see the true value of the profession. After all, logistics is not just the organization of processes; it is the management of time and space. In addition, I believe that logistics is a profession of the future. The world is changing rapidly, the economy is becoming increasingly global, and it is competent logisticians who allow this complex system to operate without interruptions. As Henry Ford said: “Coming together is a beginning, staying together is progress, working together is success.” This is especially felt in logistics, because the result always depends on teamwork, accuracy, and trust. When I think about my future, I see myself not just as a specialist but as a person who helps the world move forward. I want to be part of this system where every detail matters, where the speed of delivery, the client’s mood, and the company’s success may depend on my decision. This is a great responsibility, but it is precisely what gives meaning to my choice. My path in logistics is just beginning, but I already understand that this is not just a profession; it is a way of thinking, a striving for order in chaos, for efficiency in a world of endless movement. And if one day someone asks me why I chose logistics, I will answer simply — because I want the world to move, and I want to be a part of this movement.

Logistics is the profession of the future I only recently found out about logistics. I didn't know what this profession was or what it involved. When I learned that logistics is about delivery, planning, and organization, I became genuinely interested. I didn't realize that there was a whole system behind the simple act of delivering goods, where everything had to be meticulously planned. Then I started learning more. I became curious about where logistics professionals work, what they do every day, and why this profession is considered important. I realized that a logistics professional is someone who holds significant influence. He must be able to plan, think through routes, monitor deliveries, and solve different situations. This is not just a job, but a responsibility and the ability to think quickly. The more I learned about it, the more I realized that this is what I want to do. There's no monotony in logistics; every day can be different. Sometimes you need to find the most efficient delivery route, and sometimes you have to solve problems when things don't go according to plan. I also like that logistics is all about movement. Everything around us—food, clothing, and technology—passes through the hands of logistics professionals. Without them, nothing would work the way it does today. Even when we order something online, there's a whole chain of people involved, with a logistics specialist at the center. Logistics is a profession of the future. The world is constantly evolving, with more online stores, faster delivery, and companies looking for skilled professionals. This field will continue to grow, as it is essential for any business to function effectively. I also appreciate that logistics offers opportunities for growth and development. It requires not only theoretical knowledge but also the ability to apply it in practical situations. It involves being attentive, calculating, analyzing, and making decisions. This teaches responsibility and self-reliance, which are valuable life skills. Logistics is not just a job, it's the ability to see the entire process from start to finish and anticipate how everything should work perfectly. I believe that this profession has a bright future, and so do I.

My name is Roman, and I came from Kazakhstan to study in Kyrgyzstan. From the very beginning, I wanted to choose a profession that would not only be interesting but also useful in the future. I thought long and hard about what I wanted to become and ultimately settled on logistics. This choice wasn't accidental—it was influenced by my brother and my personal interests. My brother lives in Bishkek and works as a service station manager. He's an experienced person with a good understanding of work organization and business processes. It was he who advised me to consider logistics. He told me that logistics is an important and modern field, essential for large companies. He explained that a logistician is responsible for the delivery of goods, choosing routes, and communicating with partners and suppliers. Their decisions determine how quickly and profitably a company can fulfill its objectives. After hearing his story, I knew I wanted to try my hand at this profession. I also really like that logistics is connected with the Chinese language. Today, China is a vast country with a rapidly developing economy, and many companies collaborate with Chinese partners. Knowledge of Chinese opens up great opportunities, as specialists who can communicate and work with Chinese are highly valued in the labor market. I believe that Chinese is prestigious, and speaking it is a real advantage. Therefore, I want to not only learn it but also use it in my future profession. I find the logistics profession interesting, modern, and promising. It requires responsibility, the ability to plan, analyze, and make decisions—all qualities I want to develop. I believe I've chosen the right path, and I hope that in the future I can become a professional who brings benefit not only to my company but also to the development of trade relations between Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and China.
