Abstract

The article is aimed at researching the conceptual principles for the implementation of process management, which is conditioned by the need to implement practical measures to build up a mechanism for managing processes that meets modern conditions of functioning of the consumer cooperative (CC) enterprises. Taking into account that the implementation of process management at the CC trade enterprises will provide cost optimization, social and economic effects, the stages of its implementation in the form of a structural and logical scheme are proposed. Following the integration approach to management, it is substantiated that in the economic system, evolving in the current conditions of globalization and European integration, process management should be implemented by optimizing the ratio of activities at the State level and at the levels of the Ukoopspilka and the enterprises. The author analyzes the scientific-methodical approaches to defining the conceptual principles for the implementation of process management at the CC trading enterprises, which complement the effective programs and facilitate improving the level of business process management with purpose of increasing the orientation towards consumer demand; ensuring the efficiency of business processes and the economic development of consumer cooperation. The optimal variant for improving the management of trading enterprises is understood as follows: optimizing the implementation of the functions concerning management and business processes through improving the system of planning, accounting and monitoring of the key performance indicators of enterprise; improving the management of production resources and inventories; improving the management of innovation processes. Prospect for further research in this direction is elaboration of the methodical principles for optimizing business processes as objects of process management.
