Management can be attributed to concepts that are familiar to most since childhood. In the last century, science gained life, the study of which is aimed at general management principles regardless of the place of management and attitude to the objects of research. This scientific direction is called "cybernetics." A significant contribution to its development was made by the American scientist Norbert Wiener, called by some “the father of cybernetics”.
Enterprise management system
Production management is a part of cybernetics that explores and studies management processes at the microeconomic level. As in any scientific field, there are subjects and objects of management. The subjects are the heads of the enterprise and various management bodies. The objects are business entities themselves, workers or labor collectives, natural resources, as well as information and scientific and technical potential.
Definition of a concept
Production management is a system of control actions presented in the form of laws, plans, decrees, programs, standards, decrees, instructions and financial levers. An important center link in this area of management is the enterprise that produces goods in the process of its core business. And this is the main goal and task of its functioning.
Production management is a tool for managing the production process, regardless of the type of finished product (whether it is goods, services, information or just knowledge). To create any economic product, you need to use various resources in the form of labor, equipment, raw materials, materials, information and cash. That is why only a report on production management shows the effectiveness of their use, as well as the effectiveness of managing employees of the enterprise and technological capacities. Thus, all of the above is the subject of this concept.
In other words, production management is a system of methods and forms of managing a business entity, aimed at obtaining optimal results in its commercial, financial and production activities. Each subject has its own management technology. However, there is a certain logic of the interaction of some functions, which is due to the logically constructed sequence of the entire leadership process.
Organizational structure
Production management at the enterprise is based on four stages of its implementation. The first stage - the goal of the creation and functioning of the object is formed, some quantitative characteristics are determined. The second stage is responsible for organizing the necessary conditions for the operation of the facility. The third stage involves maintaining records and monitoring the state of the object from the position of obtaining such results that will allow us to assess the level of achievement of goals. At the fourth stage, deviations that occur during the implementation of such goals are regulated, and some incentives are expressed in terms of encouraging employees to increase the efficiency of their activities.
