On the issue of improving the efficiency of the use of fixed assets

The article in the direction 08.00.05 Economy and management of the national economy deals with problematic issues of analyzing the effectiveness of the use of fixed assets, the Railway industry is Fund-intensive, the volume of fixed assets is constantly increasing, their share currently accounts for more than 80 % in relation to the total amount of assets. increasing the efficiency of using fixed assets will allow increasing the productivity of railway transport and, accordingly, to meet the needs for the transportation of goods and passengers to a greater extent. Significant electricity consumption by Railways and an increase in the energy component of costs makes it possible to consider energy conservation in railway transport as a priority direction for reducing operating costs. The use of a correlation and regression apparatus allowed us to determine the relationship between the return on funds and operating costs. Replacing DC meters of the skvt-D621 series on electric railway rolling stock with meters of the skvt-F610 series will reduce electricity losses. The article provides an economic justification for this replacement with the calculation of the payback
