The article concerns problems of logistics enterprise risk arising from the synergistic effect of external and internal economic, political and social factors. The main objective of the paper is to investigate the possibility of minimizing the enterprises’ logistics risks by strengthening the internal control system, to assess the economic effect of external risk transfer and to provide the analysis of the costs associated with it. The dynamics of the transport and storage costs of enterprises in Ukraine is analyzed in connection with the volume of sales. The article offers the analysis of the effectiveness of the company`s logistics by a factor which is determined by the ratio of the total volume of services provided in the areas of transport and storage to the volume of sales, determined by a statistically significant correlation coefficient of the latter. The paper proposes the revelation of negative dynamics of functioning of logistical system of enterprises in Ukraine in 2013-2014. One of the main factors influencing the efficiency of enterprise`s logistics system is the assessment and methods of logistics risks management. Given analysis of approaches to the classification of methods of logistics risks presented by national scientists reveals some shortcomings of their practical use. In particular, the method of diversification does not include additional costs for processing of products of a different quality, the distribution of risk - foreign nature of transactions, insurance - the time gap between the costs associated with the onset of risk event and the moment of receipt of insurance payment due to the interest of the insurer in minimizing the costs under the contract. Creating a universal model for the prevention and minimization of logistics risks faces a number of problems in practice. The article provides characteristics of phases of the procurement process of an industrial enterprise taking into account movements in inventories the primary documentation and responsible structural divisions. The paper identifies measures to minimize the risks of logistics at each stage. Further research may concern improvement of management of industrial enterprise`s logistics risk through more effective use of internal resources.
