Satdinov N.Sh.

The relevance of the research topic is due to the need to develop theoretical and practical aspects of the provision of warehouse services in procurement activities of enterprises due to the lack of an adequate scientific base. Activities within the holding structures of relatively independent specialized service organizations that perform the functions of warehouse services were not reflected in scientific publications. As a result, the scientific community does not have complete data on the features of the organization that provides such services and the mechanism of interaction of participants providing these services. The article considers the state of the warehouse services market as part of the logistics services market. The concept of internal corporate outsourcing as a symbiosis of insourcing and outsourcing in the organization of warehouse services in procurement activities of holding-type associations is proposed. The content of activities of the internal corporate outsourcer of warehouse services is disclosed, its distinctive features are identified, which allow identifying the place of internal corporate outsourcing in procurement activities of organizations. Conclusions are made taking into account the experience of using outsourcing in the logistics services market and the analyzing activities of service organizations in associations of the country`s petrochemical complex. Keywords: warehouse services, logistics services market, service providers, sourcing models, insourcing, outsourcing, holding. Highlights: the development of outsourcing in the warehouse services market was studied; forms of organization of warehouse services in holdings were considered; the dual nature of storage services provided by the service organization of the holding to other members of the association, as a hybrid form of insorsing and outsourcing, was proved; it is proposed to introduce the concept of “internal corporate outsourcing of warehouse services” into scientific circulation with the highlighting of its main characteristics.
