77. BASIC CONCEPTS OF ECONOMIC SUPPORT OF LOGISTICS

Economic analysis - this is an analysis of indicators of sources and funds, fixed and working capital, investment, leasing and innovation activities, business plan, financial condition, efficiency of capital use, labor resources, production and sales volumes, profit and profitability.

Types of analysis are classified according to:

1) research objectives - assessment of the financial condition, product quality, validity of the plan and results of economic activity, identification of reserves, forecasting;

2) according to the aspects of the study - functional cost, financial and economic, technical and economic;

3) degree of management - intrashop, factory;

4) the nature of the decisions being made - preliminary, current, operational, final;

5) frequency of holding - daily, monthly, quarterly, annual, etc.

The main tasks of the analysis:

1) assessment of the size, movement, structure and formation of funds, sources of funds and capital, the effectiveness of business plans, investment, economic and marketing activities;

2) determination of the degree of use of general, fixed and working capital and labor resources;

3) assessment of the financial condition, its forecasting and determination of the probability of bankruptcy;

4) differentiation between dependent and independent of the enterprise reasons for the deviation of actual indicators from the base ones and their quantitative change;

5) identification of reserves for increasing the efficiency of financial and economic activities and ways to use them;

6) forecasting the expected results of financial and economic activities for the next period;

7) preparation of materials for the selection of optimal management decisions.

Economic analysis fully justifies itself only when it brings real benefits, that is, it reveals untapped reserves at all stages of the formation of production potential and the efficiency of its use.

The following are the most commonly used types of analysis:

1) price analysis - assessment and verification of the total price of customer service without taking into account individual elements of costs or profits. Such an analysis presupposes, first of all, the determination of the lower limit of the price;

2) cost analysis is somewhat broader than price analysis, since on its basis the necessity and justification of each cost element, including profit, is determined;

3) concentration of resources on favorable opportunities - one of the ways to achieve control over logistics costs;

4) analysis of working capital necessary for the functioning of the customer service system (its dependence on the duration of the period of capital turnover from cash to inventory and back to cash and sales volume);

5) cost analysis - "negative flow of payments", i.e. analysis of the decrease in means of payment in the enterprise;

6) analysis of the profitability of activities - the ratio of profit to the capital expended;

7) analysis of profitability - the ratio between gross income and total costs (in some cases - actual costs);

8) analysis of the savings ratio - the ratio of the cost of the initial and optimal options for the purchase of units of production.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

Random news from the Archive Ears need noise 13.09.2004 Hearing needs constant training to stay in shape, and those who live in constant silence are as deafened as workers in a forge and press shop. German researchers came to this conclusion. A group of physiologists led by Gerald Fleischer from the University of Giessen (Germany) measured the hearing acuity of more than 10 thousand people around the world over several years. At the same time, the noise level of their environment was also recorded. As expected, people exposed to extremely loud noises at work, such as construction workers, have reduced hearing. But the inhabitants of the quiet countryside are just as deaf. It turned out that, in general, urban residents have better hearing than residents of quiet villages. People in professions such as orchestra musicians and pilots, despite the constant noise during working hours, have unexpectedly sensitive hearing. Fleischer believes that it is not constant noise that is harmful to the delicate mechanism of the inner ear, but shock loads - individual very loud sounds. On the contrary, constant noise only trains the endurance of the ear. The worst hearing was among the Chinese peasants, who live in silence, which is interrupted several times a year by the explosions of firecrackers and the roar of drums on the occasion of local holidays.
