Assessing the Manageability and Functional Stability of Production Preparation Processes

The article addresses the problem of assessing the controllability of production preparation processes at the planning stage. It is shown that existing approaches are mainly focused on calendar, resource, and normative planning, but do not sufficiently take into account the combined influence of organizational, informational, and technical factors on the possibility of controlled execution of individual stages. A mathematical model is proposed based on the preliminary calculation of an integral complexity indicator for production preparation stages withits subsequent transformation into a controllability indicator. The model takes into account laborintensity, execution duration, the number of performers, the volume of approvals and documentation, the level of automation, as well as the probability of errors and rework. The implementation of the model as a computer program made it possible to calculate controllability values for production preparation stages and to classify them by controllability level. The results showed that 25% of the stages belong to the low controllability range, whichindicates the need for targeted managerial actions. The practical significance of the study lies in the possibility of early identification of problematic stages, justified allocation of resources, and determination of priorities for digitalization and improvement of production preparation processes.
