SIMULATING A LOGISTIC PROCUREMENT CYCLE
Relevance of simulating modeling the logistic procurement cycle consists in the need for optimizing the procurement process to achieve the highest profits of the products purchased at the lowest possible costs. This research in economic-mathematical methods in logistics is mainly aimed at studying the simulation of a logistic procurement cycle, exemplified by OAO Lenenergo. We give a brief characteristic of the company and describe OMNITRACKER, a software product that has automated processes, such as IT services, design services, customer services, and software development. To correctly build the procurement, a function has been developed as a formula. We have also introduced the performance criterion and controlled variables. We defined the procurement method (CAPP, Comprehensive Annual Procurement Program) intended for the manufacturing activities of the company and aimed at ensuring reliable and uninterrupted supplies. This paper presents the data on electric power consumed in the town and region, and the efficient supply model built based on this data. Formulas have also been implemented to compute the demand and supply limitations. We have emphasized that insufficient time was spared to simulate a logistic procurement center in most companies.
