Abstract: Current market trends require an increasing specialization of companies in the production of individual products, which is accompanied by increased cooperation in network value added flows. Improving the efficiency and production management efficiency is necessary to achieve the production logistics goals, including minimizing the delivery time to customers while increasing at the same time the complexity of value addition processes. This requires an enhanced flow of information between partners. This paper discusses a modern approach to the development of an integrated production planning and management system focused on network value added flow. This approach leads to global optimization of material flows at all stages of value addition in the network, as opposed to local intra-company production processes consideration. The approach includes the following steps: requirements analysis, network modeling, system architecture development, incentive system definition, planning and control optimization.

Abstract: Lean manufacturing is widely used to improve the work and productivity quality of in production systems. However, this approach has a number of limitations, such as the consistency lack between the lean manufacturing goals and company strategic management, as well as the lack of reasonable measurements for future effective implementations. Nowadays, it is still difficult to assess the production system efficiency due to the lack of appropriate indicators and methods for assessing them. The article presents a structure to overcome these limitations. This allows the company to assess, justify and ensure the lean production future implementation possibility in accordance with its strategic goals and objectives. This structure is based on real-time information exchange with several information systems, such as the executive production system and enterprise resource planning.

Abstract: Modern developmental trend of industrial corporations is communicating with innovational activity. Innovation creation is a complex multi-faceted process that requires the involvement of various actors with diverse competencies, which requires either the organization of specialized structures within the company that create intellectual property, or the involvement of third-party companies that have innovations. Some of the proposed options require business restructuring. This article discusses the reorganization mechanisms in the form of mergers and joins, as well as the simple partnership contract as options for ensuring innovative development. The need to change the management system based on the project approach and the desirability of focusing on the ISO 56000 series international standards is justified.

Seryshev R. V., candidate of Economic sciences, associate professor at the Management and Innovations Department
Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, Moscow

Abstract: The elements of lean manufacturing seem to have reached the limit of their capabilities in terms of reducing losses in production processes. The combination of widespread lean manufacturing methods with digitalization allows you to introduce its principles, methods and tools in a new way. The article highlights the initial situation and the need for a methodology that supports the assessment of existing lean production systems, as well as the selection of appropriate digitalization technologies. The main structure of this methodology and the content of its four elements are described. Two tasks are a universal description of production systems in the context of lean manufacturing and digitalization technology. Taking into account that lean methods are a static set of rules, it is necessary to take into account the dynamic development of digitalization technologies and on this basis realize the synergistic advantage of the two technologies.

Abstract: In the context of the accelerated technological development of the world economy, Russia’s real competitors are not only leading countries in the field of innovation, but also many developing countries. The economic development period of the leading countries at the next stage (sixth) of the technological structure, the technological revolution in resource saving and alternative energy sharply increase the ambiguity in the development of Russia, the basis of which specialization in world markets is the traditional energy carriers export. The alternative energy development, the emergence of cost-effective technologies for the hydrocarbons extraction from non-traditional sources (shale, oil sands, etc.) can lead to a decrease in demand and prices for key goods of Russian raw materials exports, a reduction in financial resources and, as a result, a decrease in Russia’s importance in geopolitics. The 2009 crisis reinforced the importance of this challenge for Russia. This is primarily due to the fact that investments in technological development, in an innovative breakthrough, are carried out by leading countries, as well as BRICS countries as a key anti-crisis measure. The article substantiates the importance of the country’s technological leadership developing as the basis for the country’s security.

Khoroshilov E. E., candidate of Economic sciences, leading researcher
Institute for the U.S. and Canadian Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow

Abstract: Canada is one of the world’s leading players in the development and production of aircraft, aviation and space systems and components. The article examines the structure and place of the aerospace industry in the Canadian economy. It is concluded that in recent years, Canada’s position has noticeably weakened in markets for regional and medium-haul aircraft. At the same time, there is a clear trend for growing role of foreign subsidiary companies in the Canadian aerospace industry. This is further evidence of increased international competition and growing monopolization in the aerospace industry.
