Quality management of the integrated development of Ukrainian light industry enterprises

This research aims to form a comprehensive methodological approach to assessing the quality of the integrated development of Ukrainian light industry enterprises as a groundwork for effective managerial decision-making. The methodological research toolkit includes developing an integration map, and modeling and forecasting the results of integrated development. This comprehensive evaluation helps to justify the effectiveness of management decisions and increase the quality of integrated enterprise development, as well as their performance as a whole. Based on the formed map of enterprise integration, groups of enterprises were identified: forwards, strikers, defenders, and outsiders. Using integrated development modeling, the potential quality level of a 1% cost increase in integrated development and the volumes of product sales of the surveyed companies was determined with regard to the group distribution for the period up to 2025. A considerable increase in the efficiency of integrated development is provided for the forward companies. It has been found that a high-quality level of the management of integrated development in light industry enterprises requires a longer period of time compared to other groups of enterprises due to the slow pace of reducing the cost of integrated business development.
