Simonova M.V.

Abstract. The article substantiates the need to allocate the labor productivity management in the management system of the enterprise. As a result of the decomposition of objectives of the production system, the author comes to the conclusion that there is a need for more accurate positioning of labor productivity in the value chain and the transition from setting the goal of the labor productivity growth to solving the problem that ensures the efficiency of the entire system. As a result of the research, a model has been compiled for coordinating the labor productivity growth and investment directions to achieve high rates of productivity of the economic system. The purpose of the work is the scientific substantiation of the modern approach to economic concepts related to the productivity and the positioning of the labor productivity in the value chain of the product and enterprise management. The development of a value-added model with the allocation of a stage in it where live labor is used allowed the author to determine priorities in setting goals for short-, medium- and long-term periods for various stages of production, which makes it possible in the short term to increase the labor productivity by low investment methods. Keywords: labor productivity, management, strategy, efficiency, value added, modeling Highlights: ♦ modeling of the process of creating added value of products was carried out, which made it possible to determine stages of the process at which, in the current economic situation, there will be an increase and a reduction in the number of jobs; ♦ the structure of target needs has been developed depending on the prospects of setting goals for short-term, medium-term and long-term periods when creating added value; ♦ the separation of the principles of calculating the labor productivity depending on the stages of creating added value and the field of the activity is proposed; ♦ the decomposition of objectives of the production system has been carried out, which made it possible to position the increase in the labor productivity in the enterprise management system at the level of tasks, which determines priorities in the management logic; ♦ the dynamics of the growth rates of the productivity of the economic system and investment costs for traditional and innovative technologies are determined, showing the long-term investment in various types of the production development.
