Abstract

The goal of the article is to research the information exchange speed’s influence on the effectiveness of the organization. It is necessary to model the entire work of the logistic system in order to study the influence of the information flow. This includes raw materials supply, product manufacture, distribution on the market and selling to the end customers. The model should include all three flows that are characteristic of logistic chains: material, cash flow and information. This would allow observing its functioning in its integrity. Besides, basic indicators of effective functioning of such type of systems are the profit realized in the separate chain elements and the number of unsatisfied customers, i.e. the profits foregone. The aim of the model is, setting different values for information exchange and procession speed, to observe the changes in the system’s indicators the way they were mentioned above. The relevant conclusions would be made on the base of the received results. All the other system’s parameters would have the same values within the planned numeral experiments.
