THE PRACTICE OF BENCHMARKING IN THE FRAMEWORK OF THE DIAGNOSTIC APPROACH IN FMCG SECTOR PRODUCTIONS

Abstract

Increasing labor productivity has been on the agenda of science for many years. The search continues for optimal ways to improve with a parallel search for measurement methods both at the country level in the form of national projects, and at the enterprise level in the form of initiatives to optimize the production process, including the introduction of integrated work systems. As part of the application of the diagnostic approach, a synthesis of two functions is assumed: management and analytics. The basis of this approach is the idea of continuous monitoring of the state of production systems to diagnose and make preventive management decisions to prevent a decrease in production efficiency, including labor productivity. One of the advantages of the diagnostic approach is the applicability of methods and tools in almost any field. The article discusses benchmarking as one of the possible tools for a diagnostic approach to the analysis and management of labor productivity. The possibility of adapting this tool is revealed. The practical applicability of benchmarking to an application is demonstrated using the example of mass production. An example of benchmarking between two production lines within the same production unit is given. The main goal of adaptation and application is to identify best practices for the effective management of production equipment to increase labor productivity. Purpose is to formalize benchmarking as a tool for analyzing labor productivity. Methodology: the article used the methods of analysis and synthesis of quantitative and qualitative data using benchmarking. Results: approbation of benchmarking as a tool for measuring labor productivity based on real data from production lines. Practical implications: application of the method in the framework of assessing the efficiency of production equipment at industrial enterprises of the in-line type.
