Models and Software Tools for Assessing Efficiency of Industrial Company Production Activity in Connection with Digital Technology and Manufacturing Use

Abstract

The article considers models and software tools for assessing the efficiency of industrial company production activity in connection with digital technology and manufacturing use. The method allows assessing and comparing a whole set of permitted alternative options of innovative solutions on the introduction of digital technology and manufacturing at the stages of product life cycle and production development. The method is based on a set of mathematical models used to form the tools for equipping manufacturing processes with digital technology and manufacturing components; forming a total of partial criteria to assess the efficiency of the company production activity as a result of digital technology and manufacturing introduction; searching for an optimal problem solution. In terms of the structure, the process of manufacturing re-equipment with digital technology and manufacturing use is presented in the form of the algorithm for the assessment of digital technology and manufacturing introduction efficiency within the already existing or being developed corporate information system consisting of nine stages. The automation of the developed method is conducted with software tools MS Excel, MS Access, MS Project, C#. The method industrial approbation demonstrates its operation efficiency for solving various problems of the comparative assessment of innovative solutions at the design stages of a life cycle of items and manufacturings.
