FEATURES OF WAREHOUSE SERVICES SOURCING IN HOLDINGS
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.
