Обоснование стратегии развития горнодобывающих предприятий на основе анализа доходности и риска при аутсорсинге и диверсификации

Abstract

The article presents an approach to addressing the challenges of increasing the efficiency and viability of mining operations in changing market conditions. A solution to the problem posed is based on analyzing the application of various strategies to manage production resources and the overall complex activities of the company depending on the objectives pursued by the user of mineral resources. A mining company can operate in the traditional way, when all production functions and processes are carried out in-house, and the product is only the mined raw material. Outsourcing and production diversification are considered as alternative strategies. The paper describes possible sets and combinations of business strategies, as well as directions to diversify mining companies, including those that involve the formation and development of man-made georesources. A model is described that helps to choose an optimal complex of production functions for a mining company as well as a combination of strategies to be applied, which are balanced in terms of profitability and financial risks of separate types of activity. An economic and mathematical model for optimization of complex activities of the company is presented with the view to minimize risks at a given profitability level and to achieve the maximum efficiency at a given risk level. The research uses a deterministic approach to assess the performance indicators. The model presented has been tested in a small-scale operation that mines chromium ores. The research shows that a diversification strategy for a mining company reduces the risk of economic losses and increases its viability in conditions of volatile commodity prices.
