Formation of motivational mechanism in logistics activities
The purpose of the study is to enhance the theoretical knowledge in the sphere of forming a motivational mechanism in logistics activities, and testing the techniques of improving the rhythm of material flow in the industrial enterprise. The results have been obtained through the use of general and special methods. The authors believe that the human resource management system should include the impact on the staff (object of management) by the managerial staff (management subject) during all stages of the value creation, which is best characterized by the logistics activities. It has been proved that the objects of logistics activities are the phase, flow, functional processes, operations, characterized by a change in size, form of existence, and location, while the subjects are, in turn, individuals and legal entities engaged in logistics activities and directly affecting the objects to achieve their goals through the implementation of specified tasks. The material flows at PJSC "Rosava" have been studied, and a problem of piling-up the work-in-process residues through an irregular work of the assembly shop has been revealed. A logistics and motivation mechanism, which will improve the flow rhythm, has been suggested. This motivational mechanism can be recommended for those industrial enterprises where there is piling-up of material flows. The prospect of further development is creation of a system of indicators for the staff motivation and bonuses when organizing the logistics activities.
