Potential instability and unreliability of supply chains as well as their vulnerability also increased. Methods: The basic aspects of supply reliability provision in logistic networks based on planning decisions were discussed. Results and conclusions: There is grounded the necessity for accounting in supply plans of integral qualities of logistic systems, their functioning modes and life cycles of their elements relations.
