TRANSPORT SUPPORT FOR GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAINS

Abstract

The globalization of the world economy and the internationalization of business
open up the possibility for most enterprises to search for more optimal sources of
supply for production and marketing of their products. Today, many enterprises have
enough resources and opportunities to organize and carry out transportation, not only
in the domestic market, but also in the external one, using transit mechanisms. Taking
into account global trends, companies are not limited only by the capabilities of the
region of presence and national borders, but are constantly looking for new
opportunities to cover the planned need for resources and the ability to meet the
growing demand in foreign markets. In this regard, the design of global supply chains
is inextricably linked with the movement of traffic flows and the implementation of
related transport tasks 1 .
