Abstract
In the face of growing competition in the global economy, when an objective necessity for business is the provision of high speed changes, agile methodology has become a tool for fast and flexible development of new products and services. Interest to agile model followed by banks, IT-companies, is extended of many manufacturing companies, allowing them to improve supply chain management, reduce the period of output in the production of new products, implement the mentoring process, etc. The author believes that this model is not for our country in an entirely new phenomenon, because even in the USSR there were prototypes of agile. So the article emphasizes the importance of ensuring the continuity of institutions and business practices, stated that the further development of the Russian school management should not take place without careful analysis of the experience of the USSR. In the face of the Soviet State-Corporation party committees (structure of the CPSU) became initiators and organizers of the introduction of network interaction, the development of self-government in enterprises similar to adaptive model agile. Participation in the competition, the movement of producing leaders, active introduction of new methods of work require in the workplace caring, motivated employees, with active vital position. Such people, arising at work, after some time, fell into the sphere of attention of the Komsomol and party organizations involved in socio-political work. That is why in the USSR could be agile prototypes under the auspices of party committees operating in enterprises and organizations. But actions of participants of this process were not formalized as agile models currently used. Also the main purpose of functioning networks in the past, it was usually not creating something new, and improving existing (products, technologies, methods of work).

Abstract

The features of the modern world economy development increase the scale of external and internal challenges and threats to the economy, which makes the problems of ensuring economic security more and more relevant. And taking into account the ongoing transformations of the world economy, each country chooses its priorities, uses a set of measures to strengthen and protect its national economic security. Three interrelated categories can be distinguished: the economic security of the country, the economic security of individual people, and the economic security of national economic entities. The country’s economic security is influenced by a system of factors that overlaps with the system of factors of the country’s international competitiveness. The methodology of ensuring economic security and approaches to the choice of instruments for its protection are not dogmatic. They can and must change in accordance with the development trends of the world economy, new scientific and technological knowledge, features of geo-economic competition. The analysis of the functioning of the Russian economy and foreign trade has allowed to single out a number of negative tendencies, which are the preconditions for certain fears for Russia’s economic security. Simultaneously, the role of its strengthening in the long-term period, and therefore the use of preventive measures, is growing. This preventive measure is to increase the competitiveness of exports. The focus on increasing the competitiveness of Russian exports stimulates the organization of output on the basis of advanced technologies, corresponding to the best foreign models, and, ideally, superior in its parameters. Increasing the competitiveness of exports, taking into account the above features of the modern Russian economy will allow to form mechanisms ensuring the emergence of points of its growth, contribute to strengthening the national security of the country.

Abstract

Evolution of systems is of some interest in considering economic risk management mechanisms for enterprises in continuous production. The economic mechanisms that determine the introduction of measures, innovations and investments, aimed at managing technological risks of enterprises of a continuous type, can be reduced to a mechanism for the reproduction of production factors and a joint-stock mechanism. When the technological structures change, the paradigm of public relations changes, which is reflected in the methods and processes used in management The genesis of the concept of risk-oriented management is closely intertwined with the alternation of the stages of technological development of the world economy. Complicating of technique and technology, increasing investment costs in the R&D process, increasing uncertainty and instability of the external environment have become the leading factors in the formation and evolution of risk management methods for continuous production, as opposed to the previously applied direct regulatory and technical regulation. The article deals with the evolution of control systems applied to industries continuous industries, including metallurgy and production of composite materials, where the basic production assets dominate the asset structure of the company tangible assets in the form as the main economic mechanism of enterprise management, the mechanism of expanded reproduction of productive capital, which forms the mechanism to ensure the growth of its shareholder value. The building management systems of enterprises continuous type is connected with considerable production risks. For the conditions of functioning of the enterprises of the continuous type in part of the fifth and the sixth technological structure, taking into account the need of introducing a system of management controls, processes and automated systems a methodical approach.

Abstract

The relevance of this research lies not fully in impeccable situation [1, 2] in one of the most important issues of the reorganization of the military-industrial complex of Russia – the creation of vertically integrated structures (VIS). A vertically integrated structure (as defined in [2]) is regarded as the object of control [3]. The article describes the application of dynamic balance model to describe the interaction of enterprises within a vertically integrated structure (VIS). The applicability of the model to describe the production of VIS in the framework of production cooperation. The proposed classification of enterprises OPK on the criterion of the degree of localization of production process the final product of a vertically integrated structure. The stages of the full life cycle of the product. Marked with no alternative the inclusion in the VIS of scientific and research organizations of the corresponding profile to ensure that vertically-integrated structure of technological processes of each stage of the full life cycle. Is the use of a dynamic balance model for the formation of vertically integrated structures in the defense industry. Because decisionmaking in the economic field inevitably accompanied by the attendant effects in other fields – social, political, etc. [4], environmental factors [5], which is an economic system, vertically-integrated structure, it is necessary to consider all the factors. Dynamic balance model allows to consider (describe) all kinds of factors with a given level of detail [6]. The model allows to predict with a high degree of reliability [7, 8] the production capabilities of the industries of the military industrial complex, to take into account scientific and technical progress.

Abstract
The problems of sustainable development of industrial enterprises are as urgent as ever, research in this area is quite intensive, but the problem of ensuring sustainable development is quite acute. This is explained by the fact that the development of the enterprise on the principles of sustainable development in modern conditions is one of the main competitive advantages. Most foreign companies make, as an indispensable condition for cooperation, reporting on the performance of the firm, in the context of sustainability. One of the most common methods of ensuring a sustainable development of the enterprise is the system of balanced indicators (hereinafter referred to as the SSP). The balanced scorecard system allows the most effective use of strategic and operational planning tools, diagnoses the level of the company’s development and analyzes the effectiveness of its activities. Financial indicators included in the system are the most important components of the MTSP, since they are usually the main criteria for assessing the effectiveness of the organization. The choice of indicators and the correct calculation depend on a certain set of factors that allow you to balance the system, avoiding the dispersion of attention in all areas of activity

Abstract

The article compares the different production technologies: traditional and modern. There has been increasing currently the need for successful competitive struggle of customized technology example of which is Lean Production – a system of principles, concepts and tools, developed by the japanese company Toyota, the purpose of which is the elimination of waste. The reasons of departure from the technology of mass production. The key concept of the Lean approach – the «value» of the product defined by the end user. «Utility» create a technological operation in which there is a change in the geometric shape, the addition of physical or chemical properties. From the point of view of Lean Production, only these costs can be included by the manufacturer in the price, and everything else does not add value for the customer, and therefore should be eliminated. The article provides a classification of the various types of losses. One of the objectives of the author of this article is to list and describe problems of implementation of Lean Production at domestic enterprises. The first of them is a high proportion of costs that do not add value, which reduction is only possible using the global transformation of the operating system of the enterprise, changes to organizational structure and management system. The second is mentality, which creates additional difficulties during implementation. Third is the need for a short time to develop its own production system to catch up with western companies for decades implementing this approach. In this regard, the necessity of understanding technology Lean Production of the russian scientific environment, development of practical manuals and guidelines for implementation in domestic enterprises, etc.

Abstract
The article is devoted to assessing the prospects of alternative and renewable energy sources – wind power and solar power mining enterprises of Russia. The relevance of this assessment is that a new, untapped mineral deposits often located in remote and inaccessible areas and, during development, of the difficulty of supplying electric energy. The article presents the analysis of the limiting factors in the use of alternative and renewable energy sources in different regions of Russia – natural conditions, the volume of capital investments, the cost of electricity. An important advantage of self-generating energy installations that use alternative and renewable sources of energy is the savings in operating costs associated with a lack of purchase power, independence from the electricity supply, the state of electrical networks, ecological clean production of electricity. The article evaluated the feasibility of using wind energy and solar power projected Mining on one of the fields of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The necessity of comparison of traditional and alternative methods of power supply was due to the high cost of electric power and a large enough cost of construction power line of necessary length and of stepdown substation. For assess the feasibility of constructing installations using wind and solar energy within the framework of this article, an analysis is given of the change in the final indicators of economic efficiency in the framework of the investment project for the construction of the entire projected mine. In the article the calculation of the parameters, settings, using alternative and renewable sources of energy, which could fully meet the needs of all departments of the GOK’s electricity.

Abstract
In the present article ways of the choice of different types of technogenic scrap for providing the enterprise of secondary metallurgy with those structures which processing will give the maximum economic effect are considered, and also makes a contribution to a task of rational environmental management by their utilization. Effectiveness of purchase of consignment of furnace charge is estimated by the modified integrated indicator considering values of function of desirability of the operating influences with use of the weight coefficients reflecting the different importance of private indicators of efficiency and a contribution of each of them to the final decision. Besides, the desirability of the structure of scrap which has come to the market is estimated, respectively, the base price of raw materials is adjusted. For creation of the generalized indicator of efficiency function of desirability of Harrington is used. For the purpose of determination of behavior in the competitive market of purchase the enterprise is offered to use provisions of mathematical game theory. Actions of the enterprise in the competitive market of purchase of raw materials are considered as a game against «nature» where «nature» is a condition of the market. Adjustment of purchase prices is carried out consistently, considering composition of the offered raw materials, financial opportunities of the enterprise, is also shown that it is expedient to the enterprise which isn’t dominating in the market to increase the scrap price incidentally. The scheme of payment of deliveries of electronic scrap for the enterprise of secondary metallurgy using the technological scheme of complex processing of raw materials considering features of structure of scrap, a situation in the market and the change in price for gold is offered. Final payment of the arrived party is made taking into account assessment of estimated revenue after extraction of all valuable components, according to the developed mathematical model. It is shown that increase in efficiency of economic activity of the enterprise is possible due to application of a technique of management of the choice of rational structures of electronic scrap for optimization of the sequence of the arriving compositions of raw materials and increase in efficiency of economic activity.

Abstract

The main purpose of financial analysis is to obtain a certain number of key parameters, giving an objective and accurate picture of the company financial condition, its profits and losses, changes in the structure of assets and liabilities, in settlements with debtors and creditors. In the assessment of company current financial condition plays a special role the forecast both short and long-term. However, according to the statistical surveys more than half of the companies can not be ensure in the implementation of their strategic plans. The strategic objectives set at the upper management level, but not brought to the attention of employees and are not included in the plans for their work, risk to remain just a declaration of intent to the company’s management. The implementation of strategic initiatives, are not provided with the necessary financial resources, it could take years and does not lead to the expected result. New conditions and new business challenges require the introduction of new, more effective tools for strategic management. The most interesting of these is the Balanced Scorecard. The system provides the ability to manage not only financial performance, but also intangible assets, manage, not in isolation of each goal or aspect, but on the basis chains of cause and effect relationships between them. For each goal, the financial component is formulated specific purpose (or more goals) in the client component providing the first achievement. In turn, each target client component is supported by the relevant part of the objectives of internal business processes, and for this purpose provided the objectives of training and development component. This approach to formalization strategy significantly increases the chances to implement it.

Abstract

The system of vocational education is an important mechanism for regulating the formation of labor resources. In Tajikistan, all institutions of vocational education need to be reformed and accelerated. The main goal of the system of vocational education should be professional training and development of professional skills of labor resources in order to obtain competitive vocational education. The independent use of the enlarged structure of the demand for personnel means that it is not a matter of the need for personnel, but of their required strength. Thus, the need for personnel and the required number of personnel should be distinguished. The latter does not fully meet the requirements of staffing. In this regard, in the balance of labor resources balance needs calculations in the personnel should be considered only those that are carried out in the context of professions and specialties, while the rest are balance calculations of the required number of staff. This article examines the problems of training in Tajikistan. The analysis of the dynamics of training of personnel by specialties is carried out. The conclusions and proposals on training are given.

Abstract

The global course on the digital economy has determined the need to introduce information and communication technologies, in order to improve the business environment and increase regions and a country investment attractiveness. In this regard, the article contains the research, which shows a correlation between the development level of information and communication technologies in the countries of the world and investment indicators such as business conditions (Doing Business), Investment potential (Business Environmental Risk Intelligence) and Investment attractiveness (AT Kearney Foreign Direct Investment Confidence Index). As a result, the research represented a high degree of dependence of these indicators. A high level of information and communication technologies is not only a factor, which contribute investment attractiveness, but also directly affects the countries macroeconomic indicators. The studies in the article show that digitalization can optimize public spending, positively influence GDP, international trade indicators, and reduce unemployment. The information and communication technologies in the investment sphere received a special development through investment portals. For international practice, it is typical that the investment portal is an instrument of active communication and exchange of data with investors, which can affect the initial assessment of investment potential and the adoption of a decision on investment cooperation. The process of creating investment portals in Russian Federation was reflected in the form of one of the requirements of the Regional Investment Standard, which is one of the key projects of the Agency for Strategic Initiatives to create favorable conditions for doing business in the Russian regions. In recent years, there has been a qualitative improvement from nominal portals to full-fledged resources for increasing regions investment attractiveness. However, many regional portals still need a significant improvement in the information and communication components.
