INFORMATION AND ANALYTICAL SYSTEMS FOR MANAGING THE PRODUCTION PROCESS

Abstract

Introduction. In an unstable economic situation, it is impossible to efficiently manage a production enterprise with complex technological processes without using automated systems. According to statistical data, the most widespread system in the Russian Federation and neighboring countries is 1C:ERP Enterprise Management 2, which is the main reason for studying its functionality for production management. The purpose of our research is to develop a production management concept using a Russian ERP system.

Materials and methods. The analysis of publications on production management and its business processes, as well as on automated management systems became the theoretical and methodological basis of the study. The methods of systematization and generalization of data were used, as well as the historical-economic, structural-functional, and expert methods.

Results and conclusions. The authors prove that modern ERP systems have tools for automatic control of an enterprise's business processes at the operational, tactical, and strategic levels. ERP systems allow for data exchange between interconnected business processes and contain tools for evaluating the work of structural units and performers responsible for the stages of a business process. In an ERP system, managers at various levels have access to up-to-date, reliable, and comprehensive information. By dividing access rights, the system provides a different set of tools for senior, middle, and junior managers to analyze the current situation and make management decisions. The authors offer recommendations for using ERP system tools to optimize the planning and control of production processes and related business processes for purchasing materials and selling finished products.

Discussion. The article may be useful for managers of diversified enterprises seeking to improve production management by implementing an ERP system. The analysis and conclusions made by the authors regarding this ERP system are also valid for 1C:ERP WE (World Edition), developed by 1C for foreign companies. Given the numerous successful implementations of 1C:ERP WE in various sectors in France, Spain, China, Mongolia, and other countries, the article may also be useful for managers of foreign enterprises considering the transition to an ERP system.
