Purpose. The research purpose is to develop and adapt the existing scientific-methodological, as well as software and information base for managing the geotechnological complexes to implement the process approach at the level of design and operation of mining-and-transport complexes during opencast mining. The development is associated with the coverage of more and more relevant options for excavating-conveying, as well as excavating-automobile-conveying mining-and-transport systems used in quarries. Methods. The methodology for managing the geotechnological complexes involves an adequate step-by-step accounting and appropriate operational regulation of all the main factors in specific mining-engineering, mining-geometrical, mining-and-geological, economic and organizational conditions. The method of simulation logical-statistical modelling of mining-and-transport processes is used as the main method. Findings. The results indicate that simplified analytical approaches and inadequately considered factors that have a significant impact on the efficiency of mining operations lead to significant errors (10-20% or more) that determine the real practical profitability of the mineral deposits development. Originality. Scientific novelty is an integrated approach to a single research object, which is a geotechnological complex, a unique simulation logical-statistical modelling of mining-and-transport processes, the economics of process management, as well as integrated and corporate process management. Practical implications. The obtained results of an integrated technical and technological audit of a project for mining the coal deposit, with sufficient accuracy for practical application, will ensure the methodological base development for the designing, planning and management of mining and mining-transport operations, as well as an increase in the efficiency of scientific and scientific-practical research in this direction when solving the practical tasks of mining sector.

The modern mining industry is full of unique solutions for the implementation of key performance indicators accounting. The task of the mining enterprise, like any business, is to make a profit. An important role in assessing the performance of a mining enterprise is played by performance indicators combined into a system called KPI. The system for setting and recording key indicators developed by specialists from the D.A. Kunaev Institute of Mining The main task of this system of indicators is to assess the effectiveness of the company, aimed at achieving the main strategic goals and objectives. Thanks to the system of setting and recording key indicators, it is possible to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the enterprise, as well as understand what factors negatively affect and inhibit the development process. The use of the system for setting and recording key performance indicators allows:  To ensure transparency and predictability of technological and organizational processes of the company due to a properly built process of digitalization of the system for setting and recording key indicators.  To assess the quality of work of each employee / project / company.  To focus the activities of all departments on priority tasks.  To form an honest and effective system of staff motivation to achieve super-results.  To increase the level of responsibility for the result of each employee involved in the project.  When dismissing or replacing specialists, to use the accumulated information to train new employees in the workplace. To implement this accounting, in the process of designing the system, universal digital technologies were integrated, which made it possible to keep records of inventories, determine the positioning of personnel, etc. It should be noted that the project for the implementation of this system in small, medium and large businesses will have its own characteristics and priorities.
