Methods and models of assessment of the industrial enterprise as a sustainable system

Industrial enterprises are reviewed in the issue on the basis of the three theoretical and methodological approaches: system-analytical approach, hierarchical approach and approach based on the concept of sustainable development. An attempt to develop an algorithm for the evaluation of the enterprise as a sustainable system on the basis of the identified approaches is taken. The basis for the assessment of the industrial enterprise as a sustainable system consists of three subsystems: economic, environmental and social ones. Indicators to obtain quantitative characteristics of the studied processes and rely on the data of the state statistics are proposed. In the framework of a hierarchical approach four levels of hierarchy are considered: first one is the set of stationary sources of the territory, the second level is a set of extractive and manufacturing industries; the third level is the level of the manufacturing industries in whole, the fourth one is the level of enterprises of specific activity (on the example of 13 kinds of manufacturing activities in Perm region). From the point of view of the sustainable development concept an attempt to study the social and economic performance through the prism of the industrial production ecologization is undertaken. Description of the algorithm for evaluation of the integral indicator of the enterprise sustainable development elaborated by the authors, which includes six main stages, is given. The values of the integral indices in accordance with kinds of economic activities within the manufacturing production allow building the typological range of industrial enterprises sustainable development of the region with consideration of the peculiarities of the manufacturing technologies. It gives the opportunity to combine industrial enterprises in the cluster, characterizing the type of sustainable development: high, medium or low ones, which will ensure the management of industrial systems at each level of the administrative hierarchy: national, regional and local levels or the level of the enterprise.
