Abstract

The relevance of the research is determined by the need to search for tools for regional logistics system development as one of the instruments to increase the regional supply chains resilience in the face of geopolitical risks. In linking supply chain management concept and cluster theory of economic development, this article focuses on cluster supply chain as a special kind of enterprise network with double feature of cluster and supply chain and its role in the formation of integrated supply chains. The proposition that competitive advantages of industrial clusters facilitate effective supply chain management was confirmed in the course of the study. The effectiveness of the cluster supply chain business model in terms of increasing the sustainability of regional supply chains and achieving the goals of sustainable regional development has been proven on the example of the European Supply Chain Resilience Platform operation. The authors propose to use inter-cluster interaction platforms as an integrating and coordinating mechanism for planning, organizing and managing regional logistics flows, which is necessary for the regional logistics system formation.
