Abstract
An urgent problem in supply chain management is ensuring their sustainability. The solution to this problem is complicated by vague delimitation of several terms that are adequate to the concept of «sustainability», such as «reliability», «security», «survivability», «resilience», as well as by lack of a systematic approach to determining sustainability of resource supply systems that is composed, according to the author, of sustainability of the basic components of logistics management. The objectives of the study are to clarify the nature of sustainability, to develop a classification and substantiation of the sequence for determining sustainability of resource supply systems, which will increase their competitiveness.
The methodological base of the study includes theoretical provisions of management, logistics, supply chain management, value stream management and logistics management.
The chosen research methods comprise logical-structural methods: terminological analysis, groupings, typology and classification, involving selection and use of a body of classifying features and components, which, to a necessary and sufficient degree, reflect the essence of the term «sustainability» and its accompanying terms.
The study has resulted in author’s definitions of the concepts of «sustainability», «resilience», «flexibility», «survivability», «static character», «dynamism», «reliability», «maneuverability» and «security» of resource supply systems and in recommendations for determining sustainability of systems of this type, consisting of stability of the basic components of logistics management.
The results of the study allow us to create theoretical and methodological prerequisites for determining reliability of technological, trade and logistics links and, using them as a basis, of the channels, chains, fronts and echelons of the resource supply system, as well as to develop recommendations for changing the content of SCOR and DCOR models that form the basis of supply chain management.
