Interaction of participants in the pharmaceutical supply chain
Abstract
The article deals with the urgent tasks of ensuring the sustainability of the pharmaceutical supply chain. Unsustainable work of supply chain participants negatively affects the availability of medicines for the population, as well as the costs of budgets at all levels for health care. The irrational spending of all types of resources for the production, and subsequently for the distribution of pharmaceutical products, creates a threat to the socio-economic well-being of future generations. Therefore, existing pharmaceutical supply chains must be carefully analyzed and optimized. To improve the sustainability of supply chains, it is recommended to apply the concept of integrated business planning. For the high efficiency of business planning, it is advisable to apply innovative digital technological solutions. Digitalization of production and distribution functions increases the coordination of supply chain participants based on reliable information about demand, minimizes the consequences of disruptions in the processes of production and delivery of medicines. This makes a significant contribution to ensuring the sustainability of the pharmaceutical supply chain. These methodological provisions are planned to be used to develop a model for the sustainability of the pharmaceutical supply chain.

A set of hybrid models for forecasting socio-economic indicators of the Russian Federation and their implementation in the intelligent Horizon system
Abstract
Currently, there is an increasing need for the application of models, methods and tools for forecasting the development of the country's economy, allowing to calculate the trajectories of socio-economic development. The construction of such forecasts is possible based on both econometric and intelligent models for the aggregate system of indicators. The article describes the constructed hierarchical structure of models of socio-economic indicators of Russia, the methodology and technology of their forecasting by means of the authors' hybrid intellectual system "Horizon". In accordance with the authors' methodology, a system of interrelated regression equations is developed for the selected scenario, determined by the scenario forecasts of the Bank of Russia; and then the results are verified. For indicators with unsatisfactory forecast results, intelligent predictive models are built. The models are based on neural networks and decision trees. The results of the hybrid model application for the entire set of indicators of the social sphere demonstrate the high quality and accuracy of the forecasts obtained.

Building a system of indicators on entrepreneurship in the Russian Federation and their forecasting based on the intelligent hybrid system Horizon
Abstract
Forecasting the development of small and medium-sized businesses is an important task for large market economy entities. The purpose of the study was to develop a short-term forecast of entrepreneurship indicators in the Russian Federation based on a comprehensive forecast model implemented in the intelligent hybrid system Horizon. The large country econometric model of the Russian Federation is based on the authors' methodology for constructing a distributed system for calculating short-term and medium-term forecasts of socio-economic development indicators, including blocks of indicators of macroeconomics, financial, innovation and social activity.This article describes the structure of a new block of the model – a block of entrepreneurship indicators. The results of predictive calculations using an econometric model, neural network models and a random forest are presented. The application of a set of models made it possible to obtain high-quality forecasts for all entrepreneurship indicators.
