The transition of international trade and economic relations onto modern scientific foundations implies the use of logistics tools in the organization of supplies. The authors have developed a new scientific idea of designing product-specialized international trade logistics networks in order to solve the problem of supplying electric power equipment for solar power plants. In the course of study, a scientific and methodological approach to modeling logistics networks in international trade was proposed, developed on the basis of studying and evaluating the effectiveness of global chains of customer value creation, taking into account the economic interests of customers, participants of the network structure and stakeholders as representatives of public interests, profit indicators, delivery time of goods, reliability of supplies. The authors have proven the feasibility of developing an integrated logistics flow and end-to-end design of logistics networks in international trade, as opposed to designing by individual links, based on the shift of management tasks from product improvement to customer-oriented approach and achieving public consensus. Methodological recommendations for designing an international logistics network for the supply of power equipment have been developed, tested and used, making it possible to assess the options for configuring the network with respect to the complete structure, taking into account the interests of stakeholders and the priorities of the energy concept.
