EN: This article provides an in-depth analysis of the major problems associated with the application of modern logistics concepts in the field of transport management. In today's dynamic and globalized economic environment, the effectiveness of transport systems largely depends on the ability to integrate advanced logistics models such as just-in-time delivery, integrated supply chain management, sustainable logistics, and digital logistics platforms. However, the practical implementation of these concepts in many countries, including Ukraine, remains limited and inconsistent. Modern logistics concepts such as Just-in-Time (JIT), integrated supply chain management (SCM), green logistics, and digital logistics platforms offer innovative and comprehensive approaches to optimizing transport activities. These concepts aim to improve resource efficiency, reduce operational costs, enhance the quality of customer service, and minimize the negative environmental impact of transport operations. However, despite these clear and well-documented benefits, the practical implementation of these advanced logistics concepts in the transport sector faces numerous significant challenges and obstacles. One of the most critical problems is the insufficient development and modernization of transport infrastructure. This includes deteriorated road and rail networks, the lack of modern logistics centers and terminals, inadequate intermodal connectivity, and numerous bottlenecks within transport chains. Such infrastructural limitations significantly complicate the effective realization of logistics strategies that require a high level of reliability, operational efficiency, and seamless coordination of transport flows across multiple modes and regions. Another major challenge is the generally low level of digitalization and automation within the transport sector. Many transport companies and related organizations still rely heavily on manual processes or outdated, non-integrated software systems. The absence of modern Transport Management Systems (TMS), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) tools, and real-time monitoring platforms severely hinders the adoption and effective application of Just-in-Time and Lean Logistics methodologies. Furthermore, there is a considerable shortage of qualified personnel with the necessary skills to implement and maintain these advanced technologies and to effectively apply them within modern logistics management frameworks. Institutional inertia and a lack of strategic coordination among the diverse stakeholders involved in transport processes also represent substantial barriers to innovation. Resistance to change often stems from entrenched traditional management practices, risk aversion, and the absence of a shared vision for logistics modernization. Additionally, outdated legislative and regulatory frameworks fail to provide the necessary support for innovative logistics solutions, further complicating the effective functioning of transport systems under contemporary conditions. To address these complex challenges, comprehensive and multi-faceted reforms are urgently needed. Such reforms should focus on the modernization and expansion of transport and logistics infrastructure, the development and implementation of national digital logistics platforms, and the harmonization of national legislation with international standards. Moreover, promoting active public-private partnerships can play a crucial role in mobilizing investments, sharing risks, and fostering innovation within the transport and logistics sector. Workforce development initiatives and continuous professional education aimed at increasing logistics competencies across both public administration and private enterprises are equally important to ensure successful implementation. In conclusion, creating a flexible, technology-driven, and customer-oriented transport logistics system requires a holistic, long-term approach that integrates infrastructure development, digital transformation, regulatory reform, and human capital enhancement. Future research should concentrate on the development of adaptive digital logistics models tailored to specific national contexts, the evaluation of socio-economic impacts of logistics innovations, and the systematic transfer of best practices and advanced technologies from leading countries.
