Supply chain restructuring theory

External environment instability makes it necessary to monitor supply chainelements interactions constantly. At some point it causes business process restructuring. Supply chain restructuring theory is based onsymbiosis of logistics and restructuring theories. Integral and optimizing character of logistics makes it methodological developmentbase for action complex connected with successive supply chain restructuring. On the assumption of the existing approaches to supplychain economic essence and keeping in mind the specific character of implementation of restructuring procedures to the elements of thisorganizational form a new concept of supply chain restructuring logistics system (SCRLS) is formulated. It means the aggregate of restructuringprocess elements connected with each other and with external environment, which operate in order to achieve general goalsby effective organization and management of economic flows. Strategic goal of SCRLS for economic players connected in supply chainis competitiveness increase of all participants. The following objects are achieved: management system improvement of all parts of thechain, creation of adequate financial policy, rationalization of operational, HR, marketing and sales methods. Economic flows managementduring supply chain restructuring provides purposeful approach. In this situation identifying of logistics restructuring effectivenessis based on evaluation of system's output parameters. They appear as results of implemented restructuring strategy. Goals and costsanalysis of effectiveness has shown the importance of a complex approach towards supply chain restructuring. Economic flows organizationand management within SCRLS provides correcting actions where and when it is necessary. It is important to work out businessprocess monitoring algorithm including: current state diagnostics, results analysis and improvement caused by economic flows changes(with prognosis) measurements, plan of corrections. This becomes a kind of regulations for economic flows, which appear, change andabsorb in the system. SCRLS is an anti-crisis tool of business-process management as logistics works to increase organizational andeconomic stability of supply chains. Moreover, implementation of logistics principles gives an opportunity to optimize managementdecisions, choose the most convenient and the least risky restructuring plan.
