THE CONCEPT OF "LEAN PRODUCTION" IN THE SYSTEM OF STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT OF TRANSPORT ENTERPRISES

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of problems and obstacles that may arise when implementing the concept of "Lean Production" (thrifty production) at enterprises of the transport industry in the system of strategic management. A number of possible problems and obstacles that arise when implementing the concept of "Lean Production" (thrifty production) into the management system of transport enterprises are outlined. The factors of successful implementation of the concept of "Lean Production" (thrifty production) in the system of strategic management of transport enterprises, through which the enterprise will be able to counteract possible barriers, are summarized in the section of groups. It is emphasized that the concept of "Lean Production" is implemented through systems of lean production or their components, in particular, technologies of analysis, improvement and involvement, which allows to optimize costs and resources in the system of strategic management of transport enterprises, as well as to create maximum value for the client. The transition from a traditional production system to a lean production is not an easy task. Change requires attention focused on impacting both process and people. Despite the widespread coverage of the benefits obtained from the implementation of the concept of "Lean Production" (thrifty production), there are a number of reasons for the failure of the application of this approach to the strategic management of transport enterprises. Lack of understanding of the concept and purpose of lean production is the main obstacle on the way to the implementation of the concept of "Lean Production". Misunderstanding the concept leads to various major problems, such as fragmentary or partial implementation of lean production tools and methods or their complete incorrect application. In order to successfully implement the concept of "Lean Production" in the strategic management system of transport enterprises, management must take innovations seriously, set goals for continuous improvement, and be interested in the experience of similar domestic and foreign enterprises. Taking into account the proposed list of factors for the successful implementation of the concept of "Lean Production" (thrifty production) in the system of strategic management of transport enterprises will ensure the efficiency of business processes, saving costs, improving the level of customer service and strengthening relations with them
