Nowadays, a considerable number of production processes depends on the development of information technology. At the same time, almost every market participant has the opportunity to use digital transformation, which makes this process not only useful, but also affordable. At the same time, there is an increase in labor productivity and a decrease in costs, which, ultimately, positively affect the final cost of the manufactured product. It means that while maintaining the quality of products, an increase in its competitive advantage is achieved by reducing costs. An analysis of the available sources shows that Russia has a stable indicator in the global ranking of digital competitiveness, but its place is far from being the leading one. Obviously, there is an acute need to accelerate the digital transformation of the domestic economy. In this regard, in order to accelerate digital transformation, it is advisable to develop appropriate national regulatory legal acts. The article draws attention to the fact that with the full-scale introduction of the latest information technologies, systematic training of personnel will be required; a due respect should be paid to veteran workers. In the course of digital transformation, it is proposed to develop, first of all, a typical digital industrial platform of an enterprise, which could solve not only routine business processes of an enterprise, but also optimize management as a whole. For all the importance and relevance of the study of this problem, at present, the major statistical studies can be found mostly in the consulting agencies' reports and not in research literature. The article discusses the definitions of the digital economy and analyzes the tasks that can be solved using digital transformation, which is especially significant for high-tech engineering enterprises. The research resulted in developing recommendations for the digital transformation of high-tech engineering enterprises.
Intense competition and innovative activity characterize the modern business industry. In order to achieve high efficiency of business processes, remain competitive and earn profit, provide customers with quality products within the shortest time possible, the company needs to optimize production, timely eliminate losses and efforts that do not bring results. The relevance of the research topic is beyond doubt, since the improvement of the enterprise's activities at all its stages is facilitated by introducing methods and tools of lean manufacturing, which are currently widely used. Based on studying the practical experience of using lean tools by Russian and foreign organizations in various sectors of the economy, this study presents the features and benefits of the concept of lean manufacturing, as well as the problems associated with its use. The article presents the results of a pilot project on introducing lean technologies at a meat-processing enterprise in order to optimize the work of a canning shop. The project focuses on applying basic lean methods and tools: a system for organizing a safe and efficient workplace (5S), value stream mapping, work standardization, quick readjustment (SMED) and a system for collecting proposals for improvements (Kaizen). The current state of the pilot stream has been assessed in the work in order to identify existing losses and problems; the main directions for optimizing the value stream, eliminating identified problems and minimizing losses have been developed; the results of implementing measures to introduce lean technologies in the canning shop have been evaluated. The dynamics of the enterprise performance key indicators confirms the effectiveness of the lean production system and the need to replicate positive experience to other flows and processes operating at the enterprise.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
