Abstract: The purpose of this research is to design a methodology for the rational supply chain choice of perishable cargoes. The proposed method simultaneously takes into account the interests of cargo-owner and transport company considering the technological features of transportation. The integrated business-criterion for a choice of the rational supply chain of perishable agricultural cargoes must be based on the simultaneous achievement by the maximal level of delivery quality and the maximal profit. The methodology is of interest to practical use for the assessment of the possible logistic costs for a carrier. This approach also considers criteria of the quality transportation which are interesting for the customer. The received dependencies allow choosing a rational supply chain on cargoes delivery on small distances and for main transportation. The approach has potential interest for the logistic companies which are carrying out planning during delivery of mass cargo and one-time orders.
