MANAGEMENT EFFICIENCY  OF CAPITAL ASSETS AS BASIS OF FORMING  ECONOMIC POTENTIAL AND QUALITY ENTERPRISE INCOME

 

Ukraine is on the stage market conditions of improvement  economy, which requires drastic alternations in functioning of economic mechanism and harmonization of all interested parties interests. General job of enterprise performances, creations of on principle new approaches, , to the management  enterprise on the whole and by the fixed assets in particular depend from that, as far as present facilities of labour are effectively used, from their accordance the modern stage of development of scientific and technical advance..

A market economy stimulates enterprises to introduction of new technique and technologies, extends possibilities in relation to the use of new financial instruments and mechanisms, however in practice there is a problem in relation to reality of their application. Foremost it contingently completes absence or lack of the personal circulating funds, by low liquidity of assets, ramshackle material and technical base, expense on its maintenance exceed present incomes, and, certainly, by an imperfect legislative base which regulates activity of enterprise. Thats why researches of problem questions  account and analysis of the fixed assets  enterprises and its improvement directions are especially actual.  .

An efficiency increase the use of the fixed assets of enterprises is one of basic questions in the period of passing to the market relations. Financial being of enterprise depends of the decision  this problem, competitiveness of its products in a market.

   In the conditions of passing Ukraine to the market economy at all levels of management a requirement grew in timely and reliable information which provides acceptance of the grounded decisions. A management an enterprise requires systematic information about the carried out economic processes, their character and volume, about the presence of material, labour and financial resources, their uses, property asset, obligations and financial  results of activity. In fact on the basis of information  it is possible to attain the primary strategic purposes of enterprise – maximization of enterprise income. In some process of production three factors take part : facilities of labour, labour force, articles of labour.

At the end of XX century a fourth factor is selected, such as enterprise capabilities. This factor is abstract and has no material forms, but it shows the hidden possibilities of human personality – which show up as a capacity for an enterprise. Facilities of labour and articles of labour are formed by capital goods,

Facilities of labour and articles of labour are formed by capital goods, which are material maintenance production funds of enterprise. In its turn, production funds are public labour and material basis of production.  

Facilities of labour take part in formation of product during the row of production cycles. Thus they lose only part of total worth, saving a consumer cost and material form. Unlike facilities of labour the articles of labour for one production cycle are fully lost.

Articles of labour are that a man influences in the process of labour and it makes material basis of future product, for example, raw material, different materials..

Facilities of labour are reflected in the capital assets of enterprise, and the articles of labour — in circulating. However it should be noted that facilities of labour and articles of labour become the production funds of enterprise only then, when they take part in formation of cost of products.  Thus capital assets consist of facilities and articles of labour, and production funds — from capital and circulating assets.

We will consider the values of concept  «the fixed  assets».

The fixed assets are tangible assets, which enterprise contains with the purpose of the use them in the process of production, supplying with commodities, grant of services, transmissions in a lease other persons or for realization of administrative expected lines of the useful use (exploitations) of which more then year (or operating cycle, if it is more than year). 

The cost of the fixed assets is carried on a mine-out product gradually, as far as the use, and transference process of this cost is amortization.

Basis of depreciation is a deterioration of the fixed assets. Concepts of deterioration and attrition are not identical. A deterioration is a loss of labour of the properties or descriptions facilities as a result of certain circumstances (to exploitation, influence of scientific and technical progress, and at all), it is the objectively existent phenomenon. All facilities of labour are subject a deterioration both operating and not operating, regardless of their participation in the process of production (production and unproductive). Attrition is an economic process, reflection of deterioration in economic reality. Attrition is a process of loss fixed assets their cost facilities.

Thus, selects the followings methods of amortization in Ukraine:

1.     At times the use of the fixed assets:

-      rectilineal method;

 -     method of diminishing of remaining cost;

 -     method of the speed-up diminishing of remaining cost;

 -     accrual method.

2.     After the amount of mine-out units:

 -     production method. Purpose of depreciation  distributes the cost of tangible assets of the long-term use on charges during the foreseen term of exploitation on the basis of application of systematic and rational records.

The extent of deterioration depends on the type of the fixed assets, their functional role in a production process, terms of the use. Mainly it is determined the term of service of object and growth with the term of exploitation. Such factors, as intensity of the use, aggressiveness of environment, climatic terms, legal or other limitations, operate on the extent of deterioration. Two main reasons of narrow-mindedness service term of assets are physical deterioration and obsolescence. Physical deterioration is understood as the gradual loss of the primitive consumer cost of the fixed assets, which takes place not only in the process of their functioning but also at their inactivity, (destruction under external influence, atmospheric influence).On the extent of deterioration of the fixed assets such factors can influence in the process of their use: degree of loading of production facilities in the process of production, which depends on the amount of changes and work hours for days, durations of labour a year, intensities of labour;  basic mean quality; features of technological process and degree of the fixed assets defence from influence of external terms (temperature, humidity, atmospheric sinking, and others like that); quality of care the fixed assets; workers qualification. The fixed assets deterioration out not only physically (for example, machines, equipment and others like that) but also become backward after the technical description, and also economic efficiency, that subject obsolescence. Obsolescence is a technique – economic senescence of labour facilities, which appears in the loss of expedience them to subsequent exploitation through appearance more cheap or more perfect facilities of labour.

Studying the theoretical positions,published labours of national and foreign scientists, tested that  management efficiency of the use and the fixed assets recreation  became complicated at this time, and the row of problems negatively influences on the process of management operations, reducing organizational-technical level  enterprise and its efficiency. It is possible to take the circle of such  problems :

1. depreciation system development problems.  Because  basic problems related to depreciation: it is a problem of determination of liquidating value. This problem is actual through complication estimation of assets in the future. For a technique it is necessary to do a prognosis on a 5-10 years, for buildings - 40-50 . Thus, it is actually impossible to take into account influence on the eventual cost of many factors, that is why a result will be approximate enough. it is  problem of determination  term of the useful use

The grant of  freedom enterprises in determination of term the useful use of assets  has the serious failing which consists in a presence substantial divergences and falling short of in the terms of the use on analogical objects in different economies. So, the conducted researches testify that a difference in the set terms on an analogical technique between different enterprises makes 2 times (from 5 to 10 years);

        - problem of the use of different methods of depreciation;

        - problem of control of the use  depreciation facilities;

- problem of not account of obsolescence at determination of term  the useful use fixed assets;

2. problems of the informative providing of management a material and technical base, that is presented  the system of account, analysis, public accountant control on the enterprise;

3. problems of introduction of measures on material well-being of enterprise highly technological and progressive capital assets:

4. problems of management efficiency the use of the fixed assets.

It is generally known, present enterprise potential  expressed  in its organizational – technical level, the base constituent of which is material well-being by highly technological and progressive capital assets. 

 It is possible to trace intercommunication of such economic categories, as organizational- technical level of enterprise, business activity of enterprise and its market keeping, with quality income and competitiveness of enterprise.

Increase organizational - technical level of production has done on the basis of introductions of innovations and it is the potential of economic enterprise development. The organizational-technical level of production has direct influence on the level of enterprise expenses. Therefore decline of expenses depend on  technical and organizational ambushs of enterprise development.

But, for the considerable decline of production inputs and realization of products it is not enough to have a high organizational-technical level of production, it is needed that high potential of material and technical, organizational and financial base of enterprise are used effectively. Business activity indexes are used for the estimation of efficiency of all resources types    on an enterprise in market economy. Enterprise business activity shows how enterprise organizationally-technical potential is realized and it is important indicator of the expenses effective use 

The third constituent of given combination of enterprise strategy is in the following. These results got by the organizational-technical level of production and degree of business activity do not allow us to estimate market position of enterprise. It shows on how many quality and volume of products this enterprise requirement market.

All three constituents of the combined strategy let effectively to watch the basic stages of enterprise development (from bringing all types of resources and innovations, forming on their basis the real organizational-technical level of production and to the estimation of demand on this products) and achievement on this basis the aims of this strategy (maximal extent and quality of enterprise income).

Thus, functioning of enterprise is foreseen to invest  considerable part capital in material values which are intended for the protracted use as mean of labour. It is  basis of production capacity of enterprise and it is capital assets. Economic essence and  material maintenance of the fixed assets are basic descriptions of authentication of their value in providing of processes of reproduction, functioning and development of production. One of the major aspects for the normal  enterprise functioning is material well-being of enterprise the fixed and efficiency of their use, that on a line influences on economic potential of enterprise, which is a basis of maximization extent and quality of enterprise income.
