Improvement of the Business Process of Planning and Executing Operations on the Conveyors of an Engineering Enterprise

The machine-building complex of the Russian Federation is a basic component of the country's economy (GDP share - 15%) and one of the most important areas of manufacturing industry. A significant role in the industry is played by the production of agricultural machinery. In view of the current economic situation, production enterprises are actively engaged in import substitution, but over the past few years there has been a decline in production. This is due to the lack of sufficient production capacity and planning processes. Thus, in order to increase market share, companies need to rethink how they operate in relation to industry trends and update their production planning systems.

The formulated goal will be achieved through the implementation of the project tasks and such methods as collection and analysis of information, modelling of current and target models of the process functioning, method of comparative analysis of the put forward proposals.
