Target indicators are analyzed: increasing production volumes, reducing costs and increasing its efficiency, labor productivity, improving the quality of products, reducing the negative impact on the environment. A SWOT analysis was carried out to identify the strengths and weaknesses of digital transformation in this area, as well as the possibilities of threats from the external environment.
