The object of the research is the processes of formation of logistics systems of pharmacy chains. The important directions of their formation and development are the determination of the optimal size of the network (the number of retail outlets) and territorial distribution (location of pharmacies and pharmacy points). When solving these problems, it is necessary to take into account factors external to logistic systems: demographic, economic, social, and the like. It has been substantiated that the group of demographic factors can include the number and density of the population, the number of pensioners, the birth rate, etc. Economic factors are characterized by indicators of the level of income of the population, the volume of retail trade (including pharmacy) per capita, the intensity of competition, the development of transport infrastructure, etc. The main social factors influencing the formation and development of logistics systems of pharmacy chains are the standard of living of the population, employment of the able-bodied population, the number of medical and preventive institutions in the territory covered by the pharmacy network. Based on the results of the study of the influence of environmental factors on the formation and development of logistics systems of pharmacy chains, a methodology for assessing the spatial and quantitative parameters of logistics systems of pharmacy chains was developed, which provides for the sequential execution of operations at the national, regional and local levels and allows you to determine promising markets for the development of a pharmacy chain (spatial characteristics of logistics systems), choose the most appropriate option for the location of the pharmacy chain; to determine the optimal number of outlets in logistics systems in local and regional markets, taking into account the internal potential of the network, as well as the size of the pharmacy chain as a whole – at the national level (quantitative characteristics of the logistics systems of pharmacy chains).

Keywords : pharmacy chains, logistics systems, outlets, spatial and quantitative parameters, environmental factors
