Voitko S.V., Maksymchuk A.I. RESEARCH OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF INTERNATIONAL LOGISTICS SYSTEMS IN UKRAINE AND THE WORLD IN TERMS OF INDUSTRY 4.0
Purpose. The aim of the article is to identify the current impact of Industry 4.0 on international logistics systems and the readiness of logistics companies to implement the principles of Industry 4.0, as well as identify some specific measures that will help companies to reach a higher stage of maturity and to reap the maximum economic benefits from Industry 4.0 and digitalization.
Methodology of research.

Findings. The need for adaptation and improvement of international logistics systems due to the introduction of the principles and advantages of Industry 4.0 and Logistics 4.0 has been identified. The necessity of further analysis of the state of development of international logistics systems in the conditions of formation of the newest mechanisms of realization of logistic activity is established. The classification of the newest levels of logistics providers which already directly arise and will arise in the conditions of Industry 4.0 is offered. It is proved that logistics companies of different types are still developing in parallel in the context of globalization and the impact of Industry 4.0 and Logistics 4.0 on international logistics systems. The expediency of introducing the principles and advantages of the Fourth Industrial Revolution into the activities of large world companies and the inevitability of the impact of Industry 4.0 on international logistics processes in the world are substantiated.
Originality. The substantiation of the possibilities of improving the international logistics systems on the basis of Industry 4.0 and Logistics 4.0 due to the formation of new levels of logistics operators was further developed.
The practical value. The obtained results of the study can be used to improve international logistics systems, in particular the logistics systems of the large corporations, by forming in the conditions of Industry 4.0 a new and more advanced levels of logistics providers.
