Modeling of supply processes for perishable foodstuffs

Contemporary experience has proved the necessity of ensuring unity in the transport and logistics systems of food supplies. This is particularly relevant for perishable goods, the acceleration of delivery dates directly impacts their safety and quality. The article considers the problem of creating an effective transport process for perishable food supply chains. The analysis of influencing the efficiency of perishable food supply chains and the main principles and approaches to improve the transport support of perishable food products have been substantiated. The constructed theoretical model of a technological transportation system for perishable food goods considers compatibility (adaptability) of transport machines with agricultural machinery; technological parameters of technical systems; adaptability of technical systems to environmental conditions and technological properties of perishable food cargoes; transport and technological cycles parameters.
