Introduction. The efficiency of logistics operations, the speed of processing of goods largely depend on how all parts of the logistics chain interact, how optimized business processes in the warehouse, so any company tries to constantly improve the organization of the supply process so as to deliver in the shortest possible time. Term for minimum logistics costs. One of the tasks to solve the problem of supply chain imperfections is to reduce the huge number of warehousing operations during the placement of goods for long-term or short-term storage. This can be done with the help of Cross-Docking technology, which eliminates the storage phase and reduces warehousing costs.
Problem statement. Today, Cross-Docking technology is mobile, technologically proven, because it is a very advanced method of processing goods. However, in order to successfully implement this technology, it is necessary to understand the concept of Cross-Docking, knowledge of the features, benefits, conditions and limitations for the implementation of this technology. That is why the question of determining the list of goods for which the introduction of this Cross-Docking technology is expedient and rational is becoming relevant.
Purpose. To substantiate the definition of the list of goods for which the introduction of Cross-Docking technology is expedient and rational, using the coefficient of variation and making recommendations for their processing and methods of handling — by grouping by logistic method XYZ-analysis.
Methods. The XYZ analysis method was used during the work.
Results. The study justified the use of the coefficient of variation to identify goods for which it is appropriate and rational to implement Cross-Docking technology, and the use of logistics method — XYZ-analysis — to develop recommendations for processing and handling of certain goods.
Conclusions. Based on research based on theoretical and applied aspects, the development and implementation of Cross-Docking technology is an element that simplifies business logistics and reduces the cost of its products by reducing warehouse costs, and properly organized process speeds up delivery, allows businesses to send perishable products over long distances and organize turnover even in high season. The proposed logistic method of differentiation by XYZ-analysis allows to clearly identify those products that are characterized by maximum demand, high turnover, stable predictability, mass consumption, i.e. those products for which the recommendation is to minimize their number in warehouses, respectively — the feasibility and rationality of Cross technology-Docking.
