Galuk L. Assuring economic stability of gas-distributing enterprises

Dissertation work is devoted to development of theoretical, scientific and methodological background and tools for assuring economic stability of gas-distributing enterprises. It is proved that a gas-distributing enterprise corresponds to all characteristics and features of the production system as it is a composition of certain elements and resources that function in accordance with the specified pattern and aims the achievement of certain goals. The aggregate of indexes is defined. These indexes characterize financial-economic activity of gas-distributing enterprise and taking them into account assures the correct and full understanding of the complete picture of the company economic stability. The method of calculation of the integrated complex estimation of the enterprise stability in terms of analysis of technical-economic and financial sides is suggested. This method is grounded upon the development of stability cards that are basic for increase of gas-distributing management system effectiveness, development of tactical and strategical plans and, as a result, decrease of risk factor in terms of making not effective decisions. Priority factors of assuring firmness of gas-distributing enterprises are defined: diversification of types of activity, cutback of production expenses, increase of investment attractiveness of the enterprises and involvement of investments, increase of reliability of gas-distributing activity, improvement of organizational structure of the enterprise. The economic-mathematical model of evaluation of each factor's influence on economic stability, realization of which allowed estimation of efficiency of gas-distributing enterprise due to introduction of each of firmness factors without loss of significant for decision-making information, is built and realized. The system-process method of evaluation of the influence of great number of factors that assure economic stability and variants of their combination on the basis of the use of Pareto-analysis of dependence "effect - firmness" is offered. It gave a possibility to disregard not effective variants that break the restrictions or that are technically and organizationally difficult to implement ways to increase effectiveness and, at the end, allowed to create a group of competitive variants for assuring stability of gas-distributing enterprise. On the basis of the conducted research summary the scenarios of assuring economic stability of gas-distributing enterprise are developed. These scenarios serve as instruments of formal analysis of alternative variants of situation with set goals in non-determined circumstances development that allowed to model multivariate management decisions aiming achievement of economic effect from implementation of enterprise stability increase factors.
