The essence and features of business processes in the grain product subcomplex

The article considers the analysis and evaluation of the theory of business processes in the grain product subcomplex. The author noted the importance of research of this topic. The purpose of the work was formulated. To achieve it the review of the Russian and foreign literature was carried out. The characteristics of the concept of "business process" is given taking into account various points of view. The results of the research the theoretical basis of the definition are systematized in the table. The essential facts revealing the essence of the concept are also noted. On the basis of this analysis, a gap was identified in terms of the formulation of the concept of "business processes in the grain product subcomplex", since there was little research in its theory. The author provides a definition of the category under consideration. The business process system includes key components such as management, production, support and development processes. To complete the disclosure of its essence such categories as “goal”, “final result”, “relationship”, “limitation” are taken into account. Using this theoretical formulation, a system of business processes in the grain product subcomplex has been developed. This system is visualized by a graphical method of data presentation. It allowed us to consider the structure of the system more clearly, the composition of its elements, the relationship between them. The most common classification of business processes is based on functional characteristics (main, secondary and management processes). We propose to single out development business processes of the subcomplex in the general system of business processes. This decision is due to the fact that the development of innovative projects, the introduction of advanced technologies and other development processes should be integrated into the system of business processes of the grain product subcomplex. The results of the research contribute to the deepening and expansion of scientific knowledge of this topic.
