The article identified and analyzed the cost factors in innovation projects on the optimization of the production structure in the forestry   enterprises. On this basis the model POV needs to consider the impact of cost and factors of the external and internal environment in which it is planned and implemented each project. In addition to these factors, the cost of the project is affected by other factors that are difficult subject to formal identification, but can affect both positively and negatively. However, to achieve project goals, it is possible only with the application of such well-known management approaches, as the classic approach, it combines such basic management functions as: planning, organization, implementation, control and guidance.

Introduction. The current state of financial and economic government institutions negatively affects  Ukrainian budget execution, and the general trend of deterioration in the standard of living of the people, in general leads to low level of functioning of the enterprise and  their competitiveness, especially in such industry as trade. Aims and tasks. In the conditions of an unstable political and economic situation in commodity market and services to overcome disproportions between operating profit  of some commodity groups of trade enterprise and its added value which indicates depreciation of the capital  invested by owners not only doesn't provide compensation of investments, but also leads to losses because of inflationary processes therefore there is a need for the mutual integration of approaches of management of expenses for assessment. Results. The practical value of application of a method of Activity-based costing (ABC) and Economic Value Added (EVA) in management of expenses not only in creation of a system of accounting of expenses, but also and predictions through new approaches for the analysis for identification of unproductive fields of activity in value creation of a product is proved, including positively influences the growth of business activity for trade enterprises. In the field of innovative approaches the balanced system of indexes (BSI) and EVA methods harmoniously are integrated in processes of costs planning, management of them at the level of departments and in general are distributed among operation processes to responsible persons, which has a positive impact on maximizing capital cost of the enterprise. Conclusions. Application of methods of cost management as uniform system provides chance to distribute expenses on commodity groups and to define  goods which create added value gives the chance to settle the impact of minimum change of influence of a factor  on commodity turnover level due to decrease of unit  cost in life cycle of a product through the analysis of a point of profitability for increase in investment attractiveness.

Spans occur when a pipeline is laid on a rough undulating seabed or when upheaval buckling occurs due to constrained thermal expansion. This not only results in static and dynamic loads on the flowline at the span section, but also generates vortex induce vibration (VIV) which can lead a fatigue issue. The phenomenon, if not predicted and control properly, will result in significant damage to the pipeline integrity, leading to expensive remediation and intervention works. There are various span mitigation methods in use for both over stressing and fatigue concerns. The mitigation methods, if not analyzed properly, may result in much unnecessary work or generate more problems or concerns in the future. The mitigation analysis can become very challenging due to many restrictions in the field such as the minimum and maximum heights or lift of mechanical supports or grout bags, and bearing capacity vs. cost of supports. The cost of different mitigation methods and their interactions are the other considerations along with the installation tolerances, challenges associated with the water depth and uncertainties in seabed properties. This paper describes the latest developments in use of finite element analysis to investigate associate mitigation solutions given the governing practical limitations and cost factors. The ULS and fatigue lift criteria are used as the guidelines. The methods presented within this paper are applicable for various span conditions. Conclusions are then drawn to the impact of these various scenarios so that the pipeline integrity can be assured with confidence.

According to the accounting and management accounting, personnel costs are the second largest in terms of volume after material resources in the cost of goods and services. In this connection, the analysis of personnel costs and the adoption of well-founded managerial decisions for effective planning and development remain the priority for companies. The presence of only an accounting (statistical) approach to cost management does not allow you to determine the entire set of hidden costs associated with personnel management. The article compares the accounting and management approaches to the accounting and analysis of personnel costs, provides a management classification of costs for targeted and functional purposes, on the basis of which general and private HR-budgets are formed, followed by an assessment of the effectiveness of using planned costs. The lack of an administrative approach to the accounting of personnel costs in the organization leads to their substantial underestimation, to their impersonal consideration in the composition of the organization’s total expenses, which ultimately reduces the profit indicators and deforms the strategic attitudes of the organization

Based on the analysis of the features of changes in the institutional environment, the article analyzes the impact of digitalization on the conditions for the functioning and development of enterprises. The introduction of information technology has an impact on all spheres of activity of enterprises, and also leads to the transformation of relations between the consumer and the supplier of goods or services. The basic concepts of cost management of enterprises are analyzed, the problems of implementing the principles of cost management at domestic enterprises are considered. The analysis of the problems of the cost management introduction at the stages of the life cycle of the enterprise is done. It is proposed to consider the problems of cost management on the basis of a basic generalized model of the enterprise life cycle. It is shown that at various stages of the life cycle, the basic model of dynamic consistency of development indicators can undergo changes. Based on the dynamics of the cash flow and income of the enterprise, depending on the stage of the life cycle, modifications of the basic model of dynamic coordination of enterprises are proposed. The structure of the models, depending on the stage of the life cycle, is determined by the change in target settings in the enterprise. The proposed models can be used to assess the correct implementation of management decisions based on indicators and criteria for the value of the enterprise.

Introduction. The issues of management of production costs of the enterprise have become important for domestic businesses after the transition of the economy to market principles of doing business. In the command-administrative system of management, pricing was the prerogative of state authorities, ministries and departments and was based on the implementation of a cost approach, which involves the inclusion in the cost of products of the full cost of its production and sale. Methods. During the research general and special methods of research of processes and phenomena in their interrelation and development were used, namely: monographic (at formulation of the purpose, tasks, subject and object of research); method of comparative analysis (in the study of the concepts of strategic cost management). At the stage of observation of business transactions, collection, measurement, design, registration, systematization and processing of information for research, the inductive method was used, and the deductive method was used in the process of theoretical understanding of the problem. Results. We believe that the main characteristics of the cost management system of an agricultural enterprise should be: phased implementation of the process; inclusion in the general process of enterprise management; establishing the impact of the external environment of the business entity; determining the characteristics of the internal environment; availability of feedback. Discussion. At the stage of reforming the domestic accounting system, the issue of terminology should be given special importance. It is advisable to use in regulations the definition of costs and expenses, limiting the scope of these categories and providing the possibility of their unambiguous qualification by enterprises that prepare reports for interested users, both external and internal. Prospects for the application of IFRS in Ukraine in terms of cost accounting require understanding of the basic ideas and meaning of international standards and research, the results of which will approximate, and further bring the guidelines and rules of cost accounting in Ukraine in accordance with international financial reporting standards. Keywords: production, management, costs, expenses, accounting, prime cost.

To deal with the problems of data inaccuracy and incorrect fee allocation, an activity based costing model for the special steel enterprises based upon multi-factor resource model was proposed. The model was built to combine the cost factors of consumption, operation, and cost drivers with resource, process and machining parameters and to realize the information integration of finance, production and inventory, which improve the accuracy, consistency and integrality of the product effective cost. Finally, the cost management system framework based on the model was realized and the application is illustrated by an example.

Nowadays, due to the advent of clouding computing, buffer size can be readily extended in a couple of minutes for computing servers, where the buffer size should not be considered as given when optimizing the system performance. In this context, we explore optimal combinations for the buffer size and the length of vacation time in M/G/1/K queues with multiple vacations numerically. We consider the cases of deterministic and exponentially distributed vacation and service times. In order to do this, we also formulate an optimal problem and define cost factors: the customer loss cost, the buffer holding cost, and the server operating cost. We present some numerical examples to investigate the impact of the system parameters such as the buffer size, the length of the vacation time, and the distribution of the service time, to performance measures and the total cost. We also investigate optimal combinations for the buffer size and the vacation length for various values of the cost factors.
