Review of approaches and methods to assess the comparative efficiency of technological processes and production
The article provides an overview of approaches and methods to assess the comparative efficiency of technological processes and production. It is known that the most common methods are those that assess production based on the analysis of the states of control objects, as components of production, taken into account in the automated control system, or analysis of the course of the technological process. It is shown that efficiency is the most general, defining property of any purposeful activity, which from the cognitive point of view is revealed through the category of the goal and is objectively expressed by the degree of goal achievement, taking into account the cost of resources and time. Increasing the efficiency of the enterprise is carried out using methods of analyzing the structures of enterprises, which allow, with the transparency of the structure and organization of production, to carry out accurate and high-quality monitoring of the state of the objects of the enterprise and their management. The analysis of comparative efficiency is an important component of production processes. The results of the analysis allow you to debug the work of the enterprise already at the initial stages of reducing the efficiency of its functioning. An important task is to find a mathematical basis for analyzing the efficiency of enterprises. The paper discusses parametric and nonparametric methods for assessing comparative efficiency. The main difference between parametric methods is the econometric estimation of parametric functions in the study of the interaction of costs and resources. The authors pay attention to the nonparametric DEA method, which, due to its characteristics, has a number of advantages and features. The method allows you to obtain a comprehensive performance indicator for each enterprise, and can also take into account multiple input and output variables. These features of the DEA method make it possible to successfully apply it in determining the indicator of the comparative efficiency of enterprises.
