Production structure: principles and principles

The production structure of any enterprise or organization is the aggregate of all internal units and communications, as well as their clear interconnection. These departments include workplaces of the workshop, production sites, offices, farms, etc.

A clear production structure created at the base or reconstruction of each enterprise, and the correct choice of its type determine the efficiency of all production processes and the quality of the final product. The production structure of the organization is determined by its profile, scale, industry affiliation, technological specialization, the size of the main divisions (workshops, workshops and production sites) and other factors.

In addition to the main divisions, the production structure includes a number of additional (auxiliary) structural units, the main purpose of which is to ensure the continuity and efficiency of the main elements of the enterprise, which produce the final product intended for sale.

The subsidiary departments of the enterprise include functional departments, management bodies and laboratories. Their size and nature of activities should be fully commensurate with the specialization and characteristics of the main production sites. Only such a reasonable and logical construction will make it possible to fully function the entire production structure.

In addition, the production structure includes a number of service shops or sites that are engaged in manufacturing and repairing the means of production, sharpening and adjustment of tools, household equipment, appliances and appliances. The servicing units in the production structure also include sites for monitoring the operability of equipment, machinery and machines.

In other words, the production structure of an enterprise is a form of organizing production processes, including the composition, capacities and scales of individual structural units, as well as the nature and type of interrelations between them.

Structural links of the main production should be formed in full accordance with the profile and specialization of the enterprise, the specific types of products manufactured, the scale and technology of production. At the same time, the organizational and production structure of the enterprise must have a certain degree of flexibility. This is due to the fact that along with the timely release of products, increasing its quality characteristics and reducing production costs, there may be an urgent need to re-profile the enterprise in connection with the rapidly changing market conditions.

To solve such problems, a certain structural flexibility is required, due to the rationality of the specialization and location of workshops, their cooperation within the enterprise, and also the unity of the rhythm of production processes and technological operations.
