Formation of dynamic balanced models of the supply management mechanism, taking into account investments in cost reduction
Abstract
The article proposes an interconnected set of management methods and models of management mechanisms in the supply system of a large industrial complex. A dynamic equation has been developed to determine the amount of profit for each supplier at each point in time. A dynamic equation for changing the material flow for the release of components has been formed and an analytical equation for the cost function for the use of materials, equipment and labor resources at each point in time of the production process has been determined. A digital computer model of the mechanism for selecting the volumes of components by each supplier has been obtained, the solution of which made it possible to determine the trajectories of change in the amount of profit at each point in time. It has been shown that the trajectories of income, costs and profit change adequately in accordance with the production situation. The conditions for the efficiency and balance of investment in the production supply system have been determined.



On the ergodicity of economic processes represented by time series
Abstract
The article presents a method for testing the weak stationarity of a random process by means of its time series, which comes down to calculating the mean and the autocorrelation function over segments of the original series. Novelty of the presented procedures consists in estimating the stationarity of these values. The well-known theoretical criterion of ergodicity of a random process is adapted for practical application. The presented methods have been tested on a model example of a weakly ergodic random process and on a time series of the stock quotes of «Inarktika» company.

Model of the dynamics of enterprise development, taking into account the processing of its production waste
Abstract
The published article proposes a mathematical model of the dynamics of the development of a multifactor enterprise, taking into account the processing of its production waste into useful products. The production activity of such an enterprise is described by two production functions, one of which transforms resources into the enterprise’s products, and the other transforms resources into waste. The process of transition at a certain time interval of the enterprise to a waste-free circular economy is described using a special dimensionless logistic function. A system of differential equations is constructed that describes the process of converting part of the enterprise’s waste into useful products. A version of a single-factor model of an enterprise processing production waste is studied in detail. The features of changes in the economic indicators of the enterprise accompanying its normal production into waste-free production are considered.
