“…In earlier studies has been shown that in the majority of the cases the logistic cost can be reduced when changing from 'Logistic Segmentation' to 'Functional Consolidation' and even more if 'Network Integration' is applied (Mittermayer and Rodríguez 2008;Mittermayer and Rodríguez 2009). However, in highly uncertain environments additional coordination effort through iterative cycles is not compensated by an increase in coordination benefit (Mittermayer and Rodríguez 2013). Therefore in this exemplary simulation study further settings are studied regarding capacity load and forecast parameters.…”

Transactional systems such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems have been implemented widely while analytical software like Supply Chain Management (SCM) add-ons are adopted less by manufacturing companies. Although significant benefits are reported stemming from SCM software implementations, companies are reluctant to invest in such systems. On the one hand this is due to the lack of methods that are able to detect benefits from the use of SCM software and on the other hand associated costs are not identified, detailed and quantified sufficiently. Coordination schemes based only on ERP systems are valid alternatives in industrial practice because significant investment in IT can be avoided.Therefore, the evaluation of these coordination procedures, in particular the cost due to iterations, is of high managerial interest and corresponding methods are comprehensive tools for strategic IT decision making. The purpose of this research is to provide evaluation methods that allow the comparison of different organizational forms and software support levels.The research begins with a comprehensive introduction dealing with the business environment that industrial networks are facing and concludes highlighting the challenges for the supply chain software industry. Afterwards, the central terminology is addressed, focusing on organization theory, IT investment peculiarities and supply chain management software typology. The literature review classifies recent supply chain management research referring to organizational design and its software support. The classification encompasses criteria related to research methodology and content. Empirical studies from management science focus on network types and organizational fit. Novel planning algorithms and innovative coordination schemes are developed mostly in the field of operations research in order to propose new software features. Operations and production management researchers realize cost-benefit analysis of IT software implementations. The literature review reveals that the success of software solutions for network coordination depends strongly on the fit of three dimensions: network configuration, coordination scheme and software functionality. Reviewed literature is mostly centered on the benefits of SCM software implementations. However, ERP system based supply chain coordination is still widespread industrial practice but the associated coordination cost has not been addressed by researchers. Fundamentals of efficient organizational design are explained in detail as far as required for the understanding of the synthesis of different organizational forms. Several coordination schemes have been shaped through the variation of the following design parameters:

The article presents the results of the study of the impact of cost structure on the profitability of goods sold in the processing industries of Russia for the period from 2005 till 2017. This allowed the authors to conclude that the material and other costs of enterprises had a major influence on the dynamics of profitability. The total share of these costs during the study period was 84-85%. In addition, regression analysis showed the effects of changes in the share of material costs on the change in the share of other costs. The value of the coefficient of determination was 0.860487, which indicates a high dependence between the indicators under consideration. At the same time, the authors could not find such a close relationship between material costs and other cost elements. In practice, the composition of the material costs of enterprises is quite clearly defined by the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, which simplifies their control. A wide list of costs included in other costs enables enterprises to manipulate these costs, because not always the priority objective of the organization is to improve the financial performance. According to the authors, the development of industry guidelines for cost accounting and calculating the cost of production, the need for which is due to the influence of industry and technological features on the cost structure, the method of their planning and accounting will contribute to improving the financial performance of industrial enterprises.
