ABSTRACT
One of the greatest challenges for middle and top management is to know where and when to invest in new technologies. This problem is even more complicated for supply chain managers as their decision will directly affect the way the company’s products are moved down the chain to the final customer.
The following article has been prepared to provide supply chain managers in the fields of retail, automotive, electronics, consumer goods and food supply, among others, with
an overview of the trends expected to have the greatest impact on the logistics industry between now and 2025. The article is based upon an extensive meta-analysis of over 70 studies on technology trends and a broad survey of experienced supply chain management professionals. In addition to a broad ranking of trend importance it will look in depth at the four key trends of logistics development: Omni-Channel Logistics, Segmentation, Big Data Management and the Internet of Things.
According to our findings, these four trends are likely to have a greater influence on resource allocation decisions than other trends also predicted to affect the industry, such as drones, blockchain and radio frequency identification. Coupled with the growth of these trends is an expected increase in demand for qualified IT staff who can provide technological infrastructure to drive competitiveness in these four core areas.
The issue of resource allocation will continue to play an essential role as the industry moves forward in the age of e-commerce, cloud-based systems and real-time tracking.
Our goal in this paper is to therefore provide managers with a concise overview of logistics trends expected in the near future as a means to assist in decision-making processes.

ABSTRACT
Worsening of the macroeconomic conditions as well as tougher rivalry make companies’ management look for additional means of
raising the business competitiveness. In such a situation, managers start to draw their attention to the logistics efficiency along with
the quality of material flow management in supply chains. Horizontal collaboration constitutes one of the ways to increase logistics efficiency and effectiveness which is currently underused by the Russian companies. The article focuses on the essence of the notion «horizontal collaboration», its typology, and benefits that such a cooperation can bring to the organizations of various business forms. The authors examine foreign business cases proving that horizontal collaboration helps to decrease operation costs, raise the quality of the customer service, provide more flexible reaction on the clients’ demand, reduce carbon footprint as a result of doubling delivery elimination and diminution of deadheading. Apart from advantages of horizontal collaboration, the article dwells on the main
obstacles to its implementation. The authors pay specific attention to the issue of gain sharing. The paper scrutinizes major requirements for stable and fair gains allocation based on the application of the game theory methods. Requirements in question include efficiency, symmetry (anonymity), compliance with the «dummy» rule, strong monotonicity, individual rationality. Different methods of gain
sharing are thoroughly reviewed and compared. Comparative analysis shows that gains allocation following Shapley value method
meets all the requirements for stable and fair distribution. As a result, this method can be recommended as the basic one in the horizontal collaboration projects.

CATEGORY Supply chain management Terminology in logistics and SCM
ABSTRACT
Integrated supply chain management is becoming a promising direction of the research; its structure continues to evolve in conditions of integration and synchronization of material, service, information and intellectual flows, which in turn opens up new opportunities for interdisciplinary analysis. Unlike integrated logistics, where the main theoretical and methodological bases are already systematized, in the integrated management of supply chains (mainly, multi-level, called supply networks), this process only gets its development. Therefore, the article analyzes theories, methods, and models, economic metrics, existing terms, and definitions, taking into account the optimization of supply chains and the requirements for reliability, stability, and adaptability. An approach to the formation of integrated management of logistics systems based on the interrelation of the operational, tactical and strategic levels of decisionmaking is proposed. Information technologies, being a basis for supply chain planning, execution, and optimization systems, are recognized as the enabler for the proposed approach to the integrated supply chain management. With the help of IT, it becomes possible to unite the primary business processes throughout the whole chain, as well as using key performance indicators and operational information to identify bottlenecks in supply chains so as to provide their elimination in the most optimal way for the purpose of achieving critical strategies.

sented. The controlling functions systematization is offered, the analysis of current condition, problems and tendencies in companies' logistic controlling development is made.The logistics instruments and logistic controlling algorithm in supply chain management are reviewed.
Logistic controlling is a key function in logistic management. By the results of the research made by company "Shell", the average corporate life is about 20 years. Only some corporations were succeeded to exist for 40-50 years. This analysis allows for the conclusion that big corporations' long standing was provided by the efficient planning and controlling system implementation. It is obvious that controlling implementation is a critical task. Its solution will help to improve logistic systems efficiency.
Meanwhile, the methods which are presented in scientific publications are fragmentary and incomplete, while the existing analytical tools which are used in logistic systems controlling evaluation needs the revision and the development. One of the promising solutions to the described problem is the methodology development which includes relevant models and methods for logistic controlling formation and evaluation, analysis tools and management methods.
The model of continious rolling planning, management decisions execution control and record, which summarizes modern methodological approaches and solutions connected with supply chains and production controlling, is presented in the article. The main factors of controlling system development and the classification of supply chain management performance indicators in the process of controlling system evaluation are described.

ABSTRACT
Standardization of labor activity in Russia has begun since the May presidential decrees in 2012. It is assumed that professional standards should be a key element of the system of professional qualifications. Their application will facilitate the identification of labor functions, personnel certification, developing staffing tables, job descriptions and job evaluation. Actualization of the federal state educational standards based on professional standards synchronizes standards in professional and educational activities.
Professional standards are being developed and tested by associations of employers, professional societies, educational organizations and other stakeholders. The budget financing of professional standards development is provided only for allocated areas of activity, the other professional standards are developed on its own initiative, i.e., at the own expense of the developer.
To date there are a bit professional standards in the field of logistics and supply chain management. This is due to the low activity of the employers and to the requirements for a unique labor functions as well as it is connected with mostly sectoral focus of professional standards and with the absence of the concept of «Logistician» and «Logistics» in the regulatory framework.
Besides, judging by the approved professional standards, it seems that not all employers have the information about the educational programs in the field of logistics and supply chain management.
The paper discusses the current state and prospects of further harmonization of professional and educational standards. As well the article presents the legal framework and comparison of the structure of professional and educational standards, the analysis of approved professional standards in the field of logistics and supply chain management and the key problems connected with updating of professional educational programs in line with professional standards.
