Development of a Management System for a Focal Enterprise in the Value Chain

The purposes of this article are to substantiate the components of a focus enterprise management system of a three-link value chain, to develop sequences for their formation, as well as to create methodological prerequisites for the digitalization of this type of system.The main research methods include qualitative research methods implemented in the following sequence: terminological analysis, descriptive and faceted methods; methods of synthesis and analysis, induction and deduction.The article proposes an updated version of the term “value chain management system†, substantiates its basic components and elements, as well as the relationships between them. It develops schemes for forming a three-level value chain management system that includes a supplier, a focal enterprise, and a consumer. The article also provides prerequisites for digitalizing components and elements of this type of system and forming integrated network management systems for business.The results of the study allow us to develop the concept of a digital twin prototype not only of value chains, but also of managing chains of this type; to create methodological prerequisites for the use of artificial intelligence implemented in a digital twin unit, and with its help to develop management decisions that differ in minimal lost profits.The study originality is confirmed by the justification of the selection and use of relevant qualitative attributes of management objects and their dichotomies, which allow us to obtain 2х variants of these objects and assign them binary codes processed using computer software for management activities.
