Determining the sequence of project implementation for the program of improving the efficiency of business processes
Abstract
This article is devoted to the problem of determining the sequence of project implementation in a program of improving business processes of an organization. The relevance of the study is related to current conditions, where the quality of business processes is essential not just for the success, but also for the survival of an organization. Improvement of business processes is a costly program that involves certain projects. The projects of the program cannot be started at the same time due to limited budget and human resources. Thus, we face the task of determining the sequence of stages of program implementations. The solution of this task is one of the most important problems of business informatics. This paper proposes a new criterion for prioritizing projects. It takes into account the fact that funds for projects are generated during the implementation of business processes. The criterion also takes into account the pace of spending the project budget and the need for participation of key employees of the organization. The implementation of the program is divided into a few stages. At each stage, the problem is solved by determining a set of projects whose sum of priorities is maximum and whose resource requirements do not exceed the constraints developed at that stage. The relevance of the article is initiated by looking at the need of enterprises that ensure the airworthiness of civil aviation airplanes. This work is of interest for project program managers of production and service companies, as well as for a wide range of researchers.
