Methods of Forecasting the Resource Consumption in Complex Production Systems

The methods of cost forecasting are considered in the article. The software products developed on their basis will make it possible to predict costs when the volume of production of certain types of products changes, both in quantitative and cost terms. When producing new types of products, when the cost of raw materials changes, the technological chain changes, the technological regime changes, processing conditions at certain units and installations, planning departments receive full cost details, which will allow the manufacturer to remain competitive in the real economy. The use of resource consumption analysis methods has shown that they can be used as a basis for a deep detailed calculation of resources for both units (along technological lines) and for types of products. Having received forecast errors for all the studied values of the process, it is possible to evaluate the effectiveness of the influence of the value on cost elements.
