Automated accounting as a factor of labor productivity growth at enterprises in the timber industry

The paper considers the design and use of a database to automate the documentation process related to the organization of the removal of timber and its processed products from logging sites to a woodworking enterprise. Since this process is rather laborious and requires considerable time, as a result of downtime and queues, the enterprise significantly loses in economic efficiency, and the probability of implementing certain aspects of the “grey” economy also increases. As a solution to the problem of automation of the processes under consideration, the creation of a database in the Database Management System of the Microsoft Access has been proposed. When designing it, a relational data model was chosen. The approbation showed that the developed database can be used in practical activities by the shift manager of the workshop of the motor transport industry department of a woodworking enterprise and will improve the efficiency and quality of his work. The paper presents the main economic results of the approbation of the proposed solutions. The novelty of the research lies in obtaining a database for automating processes that is adapted to the modern features of the activities of timber enterprises.
