Abstract

One of the main ways to shape the competitiveness of an enterprise is to reduce production costs. A significant component of such costs are the costs of energy consumption. Therefore, the ability to control energy saving in the economic activity of the enterprise is a task of great importance. The development of energy-saving technologies, which are low-cost for this type of resource of energy-consuming machine systems, is conducted, as a rule, on a project basis, and the implementation of such projects must be carried out according to certain rules. An important principle is the need to determine the rational volumes of all types of resources attracted to the project. The solution to this problem is very difficult and time consuming. The use of economic and mathematical models of various classes can help reducing the risks and complexity of solving the problem. One of the promising types of design modeling of the development of both energy producing and energy consuming enterprises is S-modeling or modeling based on logistic dynamics. Today, undeservedly little attention is paid to this type of model. The proposed article presents methodological developments that can increase the interest in using this type of modeling in practice. Methods and models proposed in the work were tested on a really implemented project of organizational development, which increases their value.
