Abstract

The article is devoted to the development of the author's approach to the definition of logistics, the study of theoretical and practical aspects of the concepts of its development. General scientific methods: systematization, theoretical generalization and dialectical have been applied in the investigation. The paper studies the historical origins of logistics in economics. The basic stages of development of the concept of logistics have been summarized. It has been investigated that in recent times the development of the logistics concept is linked to the development of the concept of supply chain management. The author has substantiated that there is no unity between the domestic and foreign researchers regarding the correlation of these concepts. It has been proved that these concepts are not identical but complementary, with the notion of «supply chain management» being broader than the concept of «logistics». The article analyzes the definitions of the category of «logistics» which are available in modern scientific literature. It has been shown that they can be divided into three main groups: the first group relates logistics exclusively to the scientific field, the second – to practical activity, and the third one – attempts to combine the first two approaches. The author has proposed her own definition of the concept of «logistics» based on the third approach. It has been suggested to understand the scientific direction and practical activity of managing material, service, information, financial and other main and related flows (including return flows) from the source of their formation to the place of final consumption aimed at full satisfaction of the requirements of consumers and other interested parties at logistic costs. It is justified that the object of logistics research should be flows of different kinds.
