Abstract

The paper describes a solution to a major challenge: development of methodological approaches to production digitalisation in medium-sized IT-companies by using the example of making an order book for IT-projects based on the resource approach and the value chain concept. The authors consider an IT-company as an independent economic agent, for which cost cuts on the production of IT-projects is of vital importance. The paper analyses the market of digital technologies and identifies features of medium IT-companies, namely a wide variety in the cost of IT-projects and the qualification levels of employees, which makes the optimization of the order book more challenging. The authors suggest classifying various projects by their technological similarity and labour input. Three distinctive groups of projects are identified: simple, moderately difficult and difficult. The authors classified the costs of an IT-company by the benefits and the method of its calculation that take into consideration the IFRS as well as specific features of production peculiarities in IT-companies. For this, the authors studied the working time of administrative and managerial divisions. Activities of their employees in medium-IT companies are not monitored automatically. For each projects, direct labour costs of administrative and customer-oriented activities were identified. The authors suggest a model of order book optimization, the target function of which is the revenue from IT-projects. The problem limitations (bi) are presented by factual resources that illustrate the production potential of a medium IT-company and its organizational and financial features. To provide for the applied use of the mathematical formulation of the problem, two formal requirements were met in the methodology of its development: the formulation was made according to the requirements set in GOST P 54870-2011; the model uses information stored in the information space on the 1C: Enterprise (1C: Predpriyatiye) platform.
