Theoretical foundations of processbased management of technological processes in agricultural enterprises

Abstract

One of the main aspects of the development of the domestic agricultural sector, stabilization and increase in the efficiency of its production is the creation and use of the latest technologies, optimization of the use of resources, the implementation of which requires significant investments in the agricultural sector. However, many experts emphasize the insufficient technological preparation of production, which entails a deterioration in the quality of work and unforeseen disruptions in production. Therefore, there is a need to use relevant, evidence-based management methods in agricultural production. Process-based management assumes the continuity of material flows, since the output of each production process is linearly dependent on the resources consumed. In this regard, the most important feature of process –based management is its focus on the results. The purpose of the research is to define and describe the processes of production and economic activity using reference or reference models in the management of agribusiness enterprises. They are the basis for direct adaptation to the activities of a particular enterprise. These process standards contain the main (key) processes that are included in the technological process set of any enterprise without identifying it by industry. The methodological basis of the research is represented by system and process approaches. The theoretical and methodological basis of the research are the works of domestic and foreign authors in the field of agricultural enterprise management, solving the problems of introducing and using reference models in the management of technological processes. We have proposed a reference model of an agro-industrial enterprise using the example of the plant growing industry, which reflects a methodological option for systematizing and identifying processes for their further detailing when introducing process management at an enterprise. Isolation of the end-to-end chain of the main processes makes it possible to apply new approaches to production planning, organization of accounting and control, AHD, to make optimal management decisions. The results of the research can be used by managers and specialists of agricultural enterprises in the implementation of process models in management at agribusiness enterprises.
