Introduction
 Currently, logistics management is one of the important factors for the company's value chain. Proper supply chain management makes it possible not only to quickly deliver products from point A to point B, but also makes it possible to optimize costs even in a turbulent external environment.  Warehousing services are one of the most important elements of the supply chain. They allow not only to implement the storage of the necessary stocks formed in the production process and distribution, but rationally manage the outgoing flow throughout the supply chain. Effective management of warehouse business processes using automatization and robotization can significantly reduce company costs and achieve competitive advantage due to the high efficiency of storage facilities. “Automation” is the process or act of turning the control of a device or machine into a more automatic system. Generally, “automatization” has the same meaning. Robotization is the displacement of people from the productive process, with their replacement by automated and robotic machines and production lines, in connection with which resources are released for the development of the service sector. The chosen format of the final qualification work is a consulting project for Unilever. The relevance of the topic is explained by the increase in the wages of employees by 55% due to the company's policy and the functional problem of the low productivity of industrial transport. For 2022, the company increased the salaries of employees by 55%, which significantly affected both the company's costs and warehouse logistics. Unilever is facing the need to increase productivity in the warehouse and the company's strategy for 2025 is to use more robotic vehicles, even company employees admit that there are more technologically advanced warehouse vehicles on the market that will increase productivity. The managerial problem is the need to introduce robotic and automated solutions in the supply chain at the Unilever Rus safe storage warehouse (ice cream product). The main goal of the thesis is to propose robotic and automated solutions, determining weak zones of warehouse business process to increase capability of floor industrial transport for Unilever Rus ice cream division.  To achieve this goal, it is necessary sequential solution of the following tasks: Analytical review of the situation in the warehouse; Industry analysis of the ice cream industry in Russia; Analysis of the current performance of Unilever Rus in the field of sustainable development through the analysis of the value chain; Determination the points in the business processes of the warehouse using the analysis of the value chain and business processes; Offering technical problem solving capabilities; Economic evaluation of recommendations. The object of the thesis is the Unilever Rus company (IC division), the subject is robotization and automation of logistics. The work consists of three chapters: the first is devoted to the analysis of the current activities of the company, as well as the analysis of the microenvironment. For their implementation, the author will use Porter's 5 Forces frameworks. The second chapter is devoted to the analysis of the value chain and warehouse business processes to identify weak areas in the process of operations and outbound logistics. Relevant technological solutions will be proposed in accordance with the conclusions. The third chapter is devoted to recommendations and a miscalculation from payback. The article deals with both primary and secondary data sources. Primary data refer to interviews with company representatives. Secondary data includes documents and books related to the subject of research (MarketLine, Springer) and other data. The proposed toolkit, which allows solving the problem: value chain concept by Michal Porter; Porter's 5 Five analysis; Analytical formulas for calculating the need for personnel; Analytical formulas for calculating the need for technological equipment.
Unilever Rus is a company that has an ice cream business. The company's main problem is the low productivity of the industry of transport. The company's policy is to increase the wages of employees by 55%, which significantly affects both the company's costs and warehouse Logistics. The author has the opportunity to propose robotic and automated solutions, which will significantly reduce company costs and achieve competitive advantage due to the high efficiency of storage facilities.
