Staff Motivation and Stimulation — the Most Important Organizational Reserve for Increasing Production Efficiency

DOI: 10.33917/es-3.195.2024.126-137

In modern conditions the primary tool for attracting qualified specialists, minimizing staff turnover and stabilizing a workforce, maintaining and developing staff’s desire to improve professional knowledge and skills is the system of motivation and stimulation of their work activity. That is why the present article, which dwells on choosing the most suitable system for enterprises and organizations of the defenсe industry, based on specific industry characteristics, seems undoubtedly relevant. In the work: 1) literary sources dealing with the issues of labour stimulation are analyzed and summarized; 2) an analytical study was carried out using real data on dependence of the most important indicator of the production and economic activity – revenue from product sales – on the qualitative professional and age characteristics of the business entities’ personnel; 3) a comparative assessment of the personnel motivation and incentive systems used in developed foreign countries is given (information base, mechanisms for forming personnel remuneration rates, advantages, disadvantages, possible areas of application); 4) a justification is given for the expediency of using the Japanese system of lifelong employment, seniority and organization of groups from enterprises’ employees for searching and resolving the “bottlenecks” in the Russian military-industrial complex as the basic fundamental elements; 5) proposals (a set of organizational and economic measures) were formulated to attract young specialists into defence-industrial complex.

Increasing the efficiency of using corporate information systems in production management (on the example of high-tech industries)

DOI: 10.33917/mic-4.111.2023.5-28

In modern conditions, prompt and reasonable adoption of important decisions on the regulation of production is impossible without automated calculations performed by modern software products. One of the ways to effectively solve this problem is to create a concept (taking into account the specific features of enterprises and organizations of the defense industry) of a corporate information system platform.

The paper considers and resolves the following issues: 1) on the basis of a comparative analysis of sales volumes of corporate information systems in the global and Russian markets, their main trends and patterns of development are identified; 2) a comparative assessment of the evolution of approaches to the creation and implementation of information systems, their advantages and disadvantages, as well as possible areas of the most effective use; 3) the priority requirements of potential users for corporate information systems are substantiated; 4) the main parameters are detailed – the characteristics of concentration, specialization, cooperation and combination of production; 5) the expediency of developing two variants of CIS platforms is substantiated: for a sub-sector (an integrated corporate structure) and for a group of enterprises producing homogeneous products; 6) proposals are made for organizing a complex of works in the defense industries to introduce advanced digital technologies to solve the problems of managing high-tech production.

Methods for building organizational management structures in defense industries

DOI: 10.33917/mic-6.107.2022.19-31

The purpose of this scientific article is to prepare proposals for the further development of the management of enterprises and organizations of the domestic defense industry. The relevance of the topic is due to the fact that at present the current organizational structure for managing them has a number of significant drawbacks, the main of which (especially with a significant expansion of the range of products) are a significant decrease in the system’s maneuverability and an increase in its response time to changes in external conditions. Therefore, it is necessary to develop new methodological approaches to eliminate these shortcomings. The paper considers the following issues: 1) as a result of the analysis of integration processes in the Russian defense industry, the main shortcomings and unresolved problems were identified; 2) the fundamental conditions for the development of an organizational structure for managing a business entity are determined; 3) requirements for its elements are formulated; 4) proposed and substantiated on their basis a typical organizational structure for managing a large production facility – a corporation.

The Criterion Apparatus for Evaluating the Effectiveness of Decisions Using Indicators of Shadow Prices and Production Costs

DOI: 10.33917/es-8.166.2019.116-123

One of the key issues that arises when forming criteria for evaluating the effectiveness of decisions on the ratio of shadow prices and product costs, criteria for weapon effectiveness and optimum weapon quality are seemingly self-evident, they are widely used in practice. But are they always valid and effective? In fact, not so simple. Obvious criteria like this often turn out to be not quite correct, or, sometimes, completely wrong. The article will consider this issue in more detail
