Lean manufacturing technologies as a basis for rationalizing the regional investment standard

The article deals with the theoretical and practical aspects of application of the concept of lean manufacturing in implementation of the state investment policy in terms of the regional investment standard instruments. Successful concept of lean manufacturing, formed in the field of production and business, finds its application in optimizing the processes of interaction between investment process participants and public authorities. One of the elements of the Regional Investment Standard is the code of investment rules containing algorithms for the investor's actions in the process of implementing investment projects. Methodology of the end-to-end investment flow, based on the concept of lean manufacturing, optimizes the content of the code of investment rules as a part of the Regional Investment Standard. Practical implementation of this methodology in the pilot regions from among the subjects of the Russian Federation made it possible to reduce the terms of the investor's client trip and to eliminate duplicate actions in the interaction of the authorities and the investor. The review of scientific sources conducted by the authors, containing theoretical justification and approaches to adapting the concept of lean manufacturing to the field of public administration, including economic processes, is interesting for science and practice. Analysis of the actual data characterizing the results of introduction of the end-to-end investment flow model makes it possible to visualize the effect of this concept in the investment policy. The results of the research described in the article are interesting from the perspective of practical use by the government bodies in realization of the investment policy of the region, as well as by the researchers of problems of the investment sphere. Conclusions of the authors substantiate introduction of the Lean manufacturing technology into the code of the investment rules of the Regional Investment Standard, which will help reduce the time for investor to pass the client path.
