Managerial decisions in logistic systems of milk provision on variable production conditions

The study of the influence of variable production conditions and the work in logistics milk harvesting systems on the value indicators of their functioning has been carried out. A method that enables to solve the task of coordinating the content of work with variable production conditions is proposed. It has been established that there are seven variants of the content of work in logistics milk harvesting systems, each of which has its own specifics. Computer experiments were carried out using the developed simulation model of logistics processes implementation. On the example of the production conditions of the Brody district in the Lviv region, trends in changing the cost performance of logistics operations for various content during the year are established. On the basis of the defined cost indicators, specific costs of funds for the execution of logistic works for each of the variants of their content are determined. It is substantiated that effective performance of work in logistic systems of milk harvest requires operational planning of their content for each of the days of milk harvest season. The conducted studies will be useful for managers who perform operational planning in logistics milk harvesting systems

Segmentary analysis of the efficiency of state enterprises

The purpose of the article is to substantiate the main stages and directions of analysis of the activities of state-owned enterprises by operational and geographical segments, taking into account the goals and objectives of strategic management. The information base of the empirical study was the data of the official website of JSC “Ukrzaliznytsia” for 2020. The methodological and methodological basis of the study is the National Accounting Regulation (Standard) 29 “Financial reporting by segments” and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) 8 “Operating segments”. The following methodical methods were used in the course of the research, namely: methods as comparison, modelling, time series, structural and dynamic, graphic and coefficient analysis. Based on the proposed methodology, the efficiency of JSC “Ukrzaliznytsia” is analysed and the problematic operating segments of its activities are identified, which reduce the overall financial results of the company. The results of the study are the improvement and systematization of analytical indicators in terms of individual stages and areas of strategic analysis of the effectiveness of state enterprises through the differentiation of performance evaluation of their operating business segments. For this purpose the main stages and directions of the analysis on the following analytical blocks are offered: the analysis of external environment of functioning of a business segment; analytical assessment of the competitiveness and competitive position of the business segment; analysis of resource potential and efficiency of production capacity of the business segment; assessment of innovation and investment activity of the business segment; analysis of the efficiency of the business segment; analysis of the state of execution of budgets of revenues, expenditures, profits; analysis of management efficiency and quality

Peculiarities of formation of competitive strategy of the enterprises of flour-milling branch of Ukraine

The article deals with the peculiarities of formation of competitive strategy of the enterprises of flour-milling branch of Ukraine. The paper substantiates the necessity to determine the stage of the life cycle of the industry in the process of formation of the competitive strategy. The market analysis of flour-milling industry of Ukraine is carried out on indicators: size of the market, commodity nomenclature, buyers and their behavior, raw material base and intensity of competition.  The paper determines that the flour-milling industry of Ukraine is at the stage of growth and has a number of tendencies, such as: decrease   in sales volumes, increase in export volumes, standardization of products and average level of competition intensity. The following stages of the life cycle of the industry are studied: introduction, growth, maturity and decline. The paper proves the necessity of distinguishing the stage of renewal in the life cycle of the industry, which is implemented on the basis of modern technologies. The practical significance of the research consists in developing recommendations for choosing a competitive strategy of the flour mill enterprise in accordance with the stage of the life cycle of the industry. The enterprises of the flour-milling industry of Ukraine, in accordance with the stage of the life cycle of the industry are recommended to form competitive advantages on the basis of the concept of "lean production"

Formation of the Enterprise Strategy based on the Industry Life Cycle

The article considered the process of forming an enterprise strategy in the following stages: analysis of the external and internal environment of an enterprise, formation of a system of enterprise goals, assessment of alternative development strategies and the choice of one of them, implementation of the chosen strategy, and adjustment of the strategy. It is proposed to analyze the external environment in accordance with the concept of the industry life cycle. The concept of the life cycle of the industry, in particular the main stages of development of the industry and the criteria that are the basis for their identification, has been investigated.  It is proposed to use the scientific developments of Porter and use the following characteristics as criteria: behavior of buyers of products (services), changes in goods, the nature of competitive relations in the market, profits of enterprises in the industry and marketing activities. Accordingly, it is proposed to highlight the stages of the industry development: implementation, growth, maturity, decline.  Alternative strategies of enterprise development at various stages of the industry life cycle are considered: the strategy for realizing the advantages of the pioneer, the strategy of change response, the strategy of change management, the strategy of stabilization, the strategy of reduction, the strategy for finding segments of steady demand, as well as the strategy of the "last time". The main characteristics of these strategies are studied. The analysis of the life cycle of the agricultural industry in Ukraine has been carried out and it has been established that according to most of the characteristics it is at the stage of maturity. The industry has established relationships between producers and business consumers, enterprises receive average profits and specialize in the production of certain types of agricultural products of sufficiently high quality, and there are processes of gradual ousting of competitors from the market.  It is proposed to agricultural enterprises as a possible strategy to implement a stabilization strategy that best suits the conditions of the external environment

Based on the generalisation of the world and European experience, the strategic role of cluster structures for economic growth and ensuring the competitiveness of national economies at the global level is proven. The features of cluster policy formation of the EU countries in the conditions of the network and intellectual economy develop- ment are considered. The problems and prospects of clusters development in Ukraine are defined. Specific criteria for the formation of Ukrainian cluster associations accord- ing to the best EU practices are proposed. A conceptual and methodological model for evaluating the synergetic effects of cluster structures is proposed. The innovative and institutional prerequisites for the formation and development of cluster structures in Ukraine, taking into account the economic policy of the European Union’s clustering, are analysed. Based on the segmental analysis of industry clusters initiatives in Ukraine, a cluster model of structural transformation and competitive development of strategi- cally important industries for the country’s economy is proposed. Based on the study of state and prospects of regional clusters’ development, developed recommendations for the use of the cluster approach in the formation of regional policy, in particular, in the Ukrainian black sea region and the Odesa region. A set of measures developed for the formation and development of transport and logistics clusters, which are related to infrastructure-type clusters and are of primary importance for the development of the national economy.
