Optimizing the Management of Defense Industry Enterprises Using BPMN Notation

The study addresses issues related to optimizing the management of defense industry enterprises using BPMN notation. The defense-industrial complex (DIC), as a key sector of the economy, plays an important role in ensuring national security, maintaining the country’s technological sovereignty, and stimulating economic growth. The authors analyze existing management processes of DIC enterprises and identify the main problems: outdated technologies, lack of strategic planning, low innovation and investment activity, shortage of highly qualified personnel, and difficulties with banking support for the state defense order. The paper proposes an improved BPMN management scheme that includes the creation of an innovation center. The innovation center is envisioned as an independent federal institution performing functions such as conducting R&D, acting as a technology accelerator, training personnel, developing economic strategies, and interacting with universities and technology startups. To assess the effectiveness of the proposed solutions in the DIC, formulas for Return on Innovation Investment, Technology Transfer Efficiency, and a personnel training indicator are presented. The authors emphasize that the use of this management scheme will significantly increase the innovation activity of DIC enterprises, enhance their resilience to external challenges, and accelerate the development and implementation of modern technologies in the defense sector of the Russian Federation.
