Logistic approach in innovation practice on nuclear energy enterprises

 

Integrated information technologies used on nuclear energy enterprises, in some cases allow for support of the innovation process within a single enterprise, so supporting all stages of innovation at the level of the business entity although they are relevant, but do not have an adequate level of support and development. Also methodological aspects of creating virtual elements of innovation infrastructure and the integration of these elements into a single virtual innovation and information network is almost little explored in practice. Practical issues of informatization innovation add up to designing and operating portals and thematic databases whose function is mainly to provide limited information about advertising innovation infrastructure and innovation. It identifies the need for significant adjustment procedures to support innovative interactions in individual scientific and industrial complexes and holdings, and in the more general framework of associations, including the establishment of high schools, research organizations and infrastructural support [1].

At the same time nuclear energy is a specific type of economic activity, having the following features:

-     «fuel and raw material resource base - directly energy production - management of radioactive waste» constitute a single complex;

-     investment policy of the nuclear industry and implemented targeted programs to ensure stabilization, safety, efficiency and accretion update existing capacity, as well as the development, improvement of nuclear fuel resources and facilities for the processing and disposal of nuclear reactions;

-     prepare for and implementation of further cost-effective and high-tech projects and energy complexes, which correspond to the current level of reliability and security, including innovative technologies;

-     potential market entry of thermal energy and its subsequent development for the social sphere with the substitution of other sources of heat production.

Today, when the Russian market is actively developing the nuclear industry is not enough to use the legacy of the past, focusing on extensive production with high costs, excess inventory and increase in staff workers. Stiff competition dictates its terms, forcing enterprises to take urgent measures that will enable them to not only survive, but also to work effectively in the market. Efficacy and safety of work will depend on the development of an innovative component of the nuclear industry.

In view of the above, it will be actual to use logistic approach to managing innovation on nuclear energy enterprise. The main idea of this approach will be to present the process of generation and commercialization of innovation and accompanying it as a model of flow processes [2]. At the same time the management of innovation and innovative market performed using logistic tools capable of providing the required managerial influence and analytical support regional targeted program of IT development. In particular, areas such as production logistics, transportation and distribution logistics, service management, able to function in ways to reduce costs, identify underutilized reserves and their implementation, determining the level of development and market readiness subsystems to the transformations of the optimization, etc. for innovation aspect of macroeconomic subject.

In the field of logistics management innovation becomes scientific instruments with which various manufacturers to develop high-tech products based programs development based on market dynamics. Consider the types of processes which can be subject to logistic management in innovative enterprises or industrial holding (Figure 1). External financing of innovation implies that attraction and use of state funds, financial organizations, individuals and non-financial organizations located outside the region. Forms of external financing may be different: government funding, the use of bank loans, financing through leasing and other external staffing sphere of innovation involves systematizing processes to find and attract innovators and staff with expertise in the organization and management in the field of innovation for outside the region, which will achieve a new quality of innovation and increase on this basis, the share of innovative products and competitive. External logistics innovation resources will reduce their specific share and / or the cost of innovation in the final decision, thereby increasing its competitiveness. Systematization, regularization and ordering target incentives and the promotion of innovation , coupled with the development of intra-regional human capital will contribute to achieving the status of sustainable production innovation, which will consider the innovation cycle within the region as regenerative itself process that can be subjected in logistics management. Typing tasks and optimizing processes and flows of diffusion of innovation in foreign markets (marketing, external design, service, etc.) have already included a number of specific elements of the marketing mix (product versions, features in its promotion , environment, distribution channels and price , etc. etc.), and some of them have a solution with a set of logistics techniques (the problem of destination, traveling salesman problem, etc.).

Another common logistics process, which can be used on such enterprises is an assessment of the effectiveness of management decisions, when the limitation in terms of deficit specialists able to carry out a systematic analysis, the absence or unavailability of information about the organization (especially in the analysis of innovative potential competitors) make use common diagnostic approaches decision management innovation process at the regional level as well as in a separate economic entity, which are realized through the analysis and the limited options available for both internal and external analysts circle parameters.

In general, the diagnostic parameters characterizing symptoms in the framework of this innovative subsystem will be the input and output parameters of the system. Input parameters can be quantitative functioning innovation sphere (number of innovative organizations, the volume of innovative products and services, etc.); output parameters: duration of the innovative projects (duration of the phases of the innovation cycle), the amount of released product innovation, the quality of this product and its relevance to foreign markets, etc.

The internal state of the system, information about which is much more difficult to obtain structural parameters described. In turn, the parameters are divided into structural and functional resource. Resource parameters characterize the structural deterioration (physical and moral), aging, residual power supply resources (labor, material, technical, information, financial) and organizational resources (technology, methods, organizational structure). Functional structural parameters characterize rationality, the efficiency of the system with respect to the use of resources and institutional capacities, as well as to the control action.

In conclusion, we note that the conceptual proposals for innovative infrastructure nuclear energy enterprise on logistic approach can be used as an evidence-based guidance material not only directly but subjects of innovation and specialized authorities in the development and implementation of strategic activities in innovation with the main trends of socio-economic development.
