The article analyzes approaches to adapting logistics processes for managing international supply chains, focusing on risk mitigation and cost optimization. Modern strategies are considered, including the application of digital technologies, process automation, and multimodal transportation. Special attention is paid to the role of sustainable practices in reducing costs and enhancing competitiveness. Political, economic, infrastructural, and environmental factors influencing the efficiency of logistics operations are examined, along with methods for risk forecasting using Big Data and artificial intelligence. The study emphasizes the necessity of a comprehensive approach to improving the resilience and flexibility of supply chains in the face of global uncertainties.
