Method of determining the elasticity coefficient of the organizational network

Abstract

The method for determining the organizational system elasticity has been developed. The value of elasticity within the network organizational structure is formulated. The classification of elasticity of organizational networks is given - from inelastic to elastic structure. It is customary to consider elasticity of the organizational network in conjunction with the concept of «reservation», where production capacities of enterprises that are not included into the structure of the organizational network according to directive indicators are taken as a reserve. The method of calculating elasticity by the i-factor and the j-type of the supplier enterprise is presented. The integral elasticity indicator should be considered as a quadratic average for each type of product from each type of supplier enterprise with introduction of weighting coefficients that take into account the shares of the supply volume for each type of enterprise. Verification of methodology for determining elasticity of the organizational network was carried out. The dependence showing the growth of the elasticity coefficient with increase in the difference between the volume of the requested product and volume of delivery from the enterprise is revealed. It is determined that the elasticity coefficient of the organizational network decreases when products from subsidiaries, dependent or contractual enterprises are not included into the reserve.
