Increasing efficiency of the enterprise labor resources based on performance standards in today’s economy
The article studies the development of time standards based on modern technologies and concepts of benchmarking in the performance standards. The authors considered theoretical and methodological foundations of the performance standards at the enterprises of railway transport. The aim of the article is to find ways to increase the efficiency of the enterprise labor resources based on performance standards in today's economy. The relevance of the study is substantiated by the fact that today, performance standards are one of the most important factors of the technical, economic, organizational and social justification of the applied solutions in terms of production management and staff capacity, considering the total factors affecting the cost of produced goods or services and profit. The article discusses the possibility to apply the basic concepts of benchmarking in terms of performance standards. They allow to define and differentiate the comparison stages of the standards, as well as to identify the cause-and-effect relation of the results, the key advantage of the benchmarking, as opposed to the generally accepted comparison. The research is based on the internal benchmarking of processes: it implies comparing the business units of the enterprise, which is most convenient for the enterprises of OAO RZhD and allows revealing the best labor results of similar production processes in subdivisions. For most accurate results, the authors review the tools of microelement rating based on modern computer technologies, which allows to study the intensity and pace of work. The proposed tools and technologies for performance standards are of particular interest for enterprises of railway transport, that piloted the research results, as well as they allow to design rational labor processes increasing the efficiency of labor resources.
