Abstract. Optimization of the network of transformation centers is one of the conditions for the effective functioning of the macro-logistic system. Acting as links in logistics chains, transformation centers perform the most important functions of promoting material flows between the elements of production processes, commodity circulation and consumption. The article studies and reveals the role of transformation centers, which implement the most important tasks of mutual cooperation of trunk and local modes of transport. The stages of logistic approach in choosing the variant of transformational centers location have been investigated. It has been determined that the transformation centers, being the basis for the creation of macro-logistic transport and storage systems of the corresponding level, perform the functions necessary to smooth the unevenness, inaccuracy of production, consumption and modes of transport turnover. The logistic concept which assumes the necessity of transformational centers as transport terminal complexes, warehouse complexes to create positive results of interaction of factors characterizing optimization of processes of advancement of material flows in logistic chains has been analyzed. The results of the study showed that in maritime transport, the main factor in the development of transport container terminals, as varieties of transformation centers - is the formation of complexes of means of transportation of centralized systems of movement of goods. Currently, the system of container transportation is among the most rational methods of technology and organization of multimodal cargo transportation. The concept of this system is based on the fact that it is proposed to transport cargo flows in a single cargo unit-capacity mixed modes of transport. In the conditions of functioning of the local transformation center, in addition to the implementation of complex logistical operations for the processing of material flows, operations for the development of preparatory processes of products for production consumption in the end are performed. This determines the representation of transport and warehouse systems of transformation centers as varieties of flexible production and logistics systems.
