The stage of project preparation is the formalization of the task of conducting
logistics engineering. The content and order of work during this stage are
characterized by the following:
● the goals and objectives of the project are formulated to solve the problems
of manufacturing high quality castings for a specific purpose. It is possible
to use the technology of target management, which provides for
the formulation of goals and the construction
of a tree of goals: the main goal is divided into
sub-goals, the totality of the implementation
of which ensures the achievement of the
required overall result. Each individual subgoal
is broken down into subgoals. Practice shows
that there should be three to five such levels of
fragmentation.
Typically, the lower level represents a specific task to complete;
● the appearance of an administrative document (for example, an order for an enterprise) on
the conduct of engineering logistics is initiated;
● special working bodies are formed to manage the project and its implementation - the
managing board, the executive board.
The main tasks of these bodies may be:
● definition of strategic goals and objectives for the implementation of the project;
● identification of priorities for the implementation and implementation of the project;
● clarification of information, analytical and structural and functional features in the
implementation of the project as a whole for the enterprise in relation to its structural units -
subsidiaries;
● approval of fundamental design solutions for reforming enterprise management systems;
● establishing control over the implementation of the project;
● analysis of organizational, methodological and technological problems and making fundamental
decisions on them;
● determination and approval of the staff of executive managers for project implementation.
The governing council should include: the head of the governing council - the head of the
enterprise or his first deputy, members of the governing council: heads of the main divisions of
the enterprise, heads of subsidiaries (dependent) enterprises on the topic being introduced, the
project manager.
For direct and operational management of the project, an executive board is usually
formed, the main tasks of which may be:
● implementation of operational planning and ongoing control over the implementation of the
project;
● ensuring methodological, organizational and technological unity of design solutions;
● definition of uniform project standards (each stage of the project corresponds to a package of
documents and a register of tasks that need to be solved);
● initiating the creation of working groups to address important substantive issues;
● management of working groups;
● introduction of control over the quality of work execution at each stage;
● preparation of messages, reports, reports, questions, formation of an agenda for meetings
of the governing council.
The executive board includes: the head of the executive board (project manager -
chairman), heads of project and working groups, technical manager of project implementation.
In accordance with the orders of the executive board, working groups are formed (a team to
ensure logistics engineering) for analysis, development of methods and mechanisms for solving
the problem, implementation of recommendations for improving the project. It seems expedient
to create a matrix management structure a project based on the principle of a reasonable
combination of management efficiency, the minimum number of personnel and its sufficiency
to perform the assigned tasks. Ensure that the logistics engineering team includes employees
from all major departments of the plant or company.
It is important to foresee in advance the feasibility and procedure for including
representatives of independent auditing, engineering, consulting, legal and other companies
in the team: stages, specific types of work are determined, and deadlines are planned for the
execution of work by the involved specialists.

METALWORKING EQUIPMENT AND TOOLS
It is necessary to provide for the possibility of creating focus groups within the logistics
engineering team, local mini-groups for delegating authority to team members to work in
certain areas. The appointment of leaders of focus groups and promising directions for the
implementation of the project comes from among the most professional members of the logistics
engineering team.
The next stage is the direct use of the project. The content and order of work during this
stage are characterized by the study and analysis of the situation, the internal potential of the
enterprise. At this stage of project management, an integrated assessment
of the degree of influence of the entire set of external and internal factors
identified during the analysis of the situation is made. Various goals, ideas,
suggestions, needs, opportunities, assumptions, constraints directly
related to the implementation of the project, object-oriented models of
engineering logistics intended to be used are evaluated, options for the
optimal choice of an information system are discussed. Matrices are
developed and filled in: functions of the enterprise
- organizational and functional structure -
business processes. Measures are being taken
to diagnose the activities of the enterprise,
scenarios are considered and proposals are
developed to visualize the image of the future foundry complex.
The purpose of the conceptual design and planning
of logistics engineering is to identify the business goals of the
organization as a whole, including the enterprise, its subsidiaries
(dependent) enterprises, to describe the basic technological process
of the enterprise. At this stage, the development of detailed plans
for the organization of work within the project is being carried out.
It is necessary to plan the main stages of the project, the timing of
their implementation, predict the resource costs for the implementation
of each stage and the cost of each stage. The logistics engineering team is approved by the
budget for project implementation, deadlines and network schedules of work at each stage.
For the existence and stable economic position of a diversified enterprise, cooperation
of specialists in production, trade and financial activities is necessary. Therefore, the object of
analysis is the relationship that ensures the balanced, balanced functioning of those elements
of a single organization. This assessment is an integral part of the entire process of continuous
training, advanced training, professionalism of personnel, and is carried out at all stages of the
activity of each member of the team of the foundry complex and the enterprise as a whole.
Management responsibility can be divided between different organizational units and concentrated
in one manager (Fig. 1).
It should be noted that there may be some deviations from this scheme in the organization
of engineering logistics management, but such an organization is the most typical.
Engineering logistics managers have a direct impact on production functions. This organizational
structure coordinates all management functions. The centralization
of the management of the engineering logistics system creates a
mechanism within the functional cooperation in the organizational
structure of the foundry and the entire enterprise. This allows
you to remove many conflicts between different departments.
In addition, centralization provides certain benefits in the field
of logistics engineering, more efficient analysis of production
costs. The degree of centralization depends on the product
mix and the market environment. The foundry engineering
logistics system interacts with many of the enterprise's
management functions, such as marketing, manufacturing,
pricing, etc.
