... d Forces of Ukraine. Research materials comprised time tracking data of warehousing logistic processes in the Central Medical Warehouse of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and time tracking data of the above processes at the civil medical warehouse. The methods of information search, systematization, time tracking, comparison, summarizing, mathematical-statistical, and graphic simulation methods were used during the work. Based on findings analysis, we determined the time consumption related to document review & approval process and waiting time, nonproductive time related to unloading, intra-warehouse transfer of medical supplies and medical equipment, and shipping with the outdated equipment, storage facilities, and handling equipment used in medical supply facilities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The research findings evidence the necessity to develop scientific and practical approaches to functional improvement of medical warehouses subordinated to the Medical Forces Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine by way of implementation of the logistical concept, application of process technologies, renewal and modernization of materials handling equipment, introduction of state-or-art information technologies, in particular, Warehouse Management System.
