Abstract
We consider the importance of planning functions based on the process approach, the selection of core business - enterprise processes; of the method ABC - analysis on the example of the pharmaceutical enterprise in planning production and bringing relevant calculations and distribution of products in categories A, B, C; rationale automate calculations ABC - analysis of intelligent software algorithms that solve the problem of production planning by tracking trends in sales of goods for a certain period of time; management product range; ensuring formation of balanced production planning, including turnover and profitability of each heading; planning of production on the basis of the analysis. It is shown that the method ABC - analysis can be structured and accurately reproduce and provide relevant information in different sections (for clients, drugs, etc.), which, in turn, will objectively evaluate the effectiveness of the processes taking place in the enterprise, and most importantly detect hidden reserves to reduce costs and make informed decisions to exclude unprofitable activities. Definition of concrete benefits resulting from the use of ABC - analysis, namely the automatic display conducted ABC - analysis has a great visual informative because it does not require in-depth study of additional data that provides quick results perception and decision-making ("a visual instant analysis") for planning production and leads to an increase in the efficiency of the three major functions: planning, monitoring and management (these functions act as "engine" of the business).
