Methodology for Synthesizing an Integrated Logistics-Information System for Grain Delivery

The article presents a methodology for synthesising an integrated logistics–information system for grain delivery that addresses the contemporary challenges of digital transformation in the agricultural sector. The relevance of the study is determined by the need to enhance the efficiency of logistics processes, ensure cargo traceability, reduce operational costs, and comply with international standards of quality and safety management (ISO 22000, DSTU ISO 9001). The proposed methodology is based on a step-by-step synthesis of the system, which includes object formalisation, architectural design, scenario modelling, analytical optimisation, and verification. The system is conceptualised as a multi-level structure combining logistics, informational, and analytical components. The logistics level covers routes, schedules, vehicles, and infrastructure. The informational level incorporates telematics, IoT modules, ERP integration, and digital document management. The analytical level enables forecasting, route optimisation, risk assessment, and performance monitoring. Particular attention is paid to scenario modelling, which allows seasonal, climatic, technical, and organisational factors to be considered in transport planning. The study proposes a mathematical model of costs, quality functions of transportation, loading constraints, and efficiency criteria. An algorithm for system synthesis has been developed to ensure adaptability to environmental changes, scalability, and regulatory compliance. Verification of the methodology through pilot scenarios confirmed reduced costs, improved delivery accuracy, and decreased grain quality losses. The results of the study can be applied to the development of digital platforms for agricultural logistics management, preparation of technical documentation, accreditation materials, and the implementation of innovative solutions in transport systems of the agricultural sector.
