Description

Agricultural logistics in Ukraine has become one of the most unstable segments of the economy, shaped by port blockades, export-route disruptions, transport shortages, fuel-price volatility, and regulatory restrictions. In such conditions, supply chain management can no longer rely on static planning models or fragmented operational decisions. It requires an adaptive architecture capable of maintaining continuity under pressure. This book presents Adaptive Supply Chain Architecture, or ASCA, as a practical framework for building resilient agrologistics systems in conditions of market volatility and extreme disruptions. The model integrates three core dimensions: Lean logistics, data-driven management, and scenario-based risk modeling. Together, these elements form a structured decision-making system that allows logistics teams not only to react to failures, but to anticipate them, replan quickly, and preserve operational stability. The publication explains the principles of modularity, transparency, and scalability in supply chain design. It sets out the three-level ASCA structure — analytical, operational, and managerial — and introduces the adaptive response cycle “Monitor → Analyze → Replan → Deploy.” It also examines how GPS telemetry, ERP and CRM systems, BI dashboards, KPI control, routing models, and business continuity planning can be combined into a single management architecture. Special attention is given to the challenges of modern agrologistics, including seasonal transport deficits, dependence on port infrastructure, tariff turbulence, and the absence of formalized risk-management mechanisms. The book also shows how Value Stream Mapping, Kaizen, Just-in-Time logic, What-If Analysis, Monte Carlo simulation, and risk maps can be applied in real logistics settings. A practical case based on Agro Region demonstrates how the methodology can be implemented through the creation of a centralized logistics department, the introduction of telematics and Lean practices, the optimization of fleet structure, and the preservation of export continuity during port blockades.
