DILEMMAS OF PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT IN THE CONDITIONS OF WAR

Abstract

The article demonstrates that the conditions of war in Ukraine create complex dilemmas faced by managers in managing the production enterprises' activities. Among such dilemmas have been identified: the balance between quality and cost; the need for automation and robotization; the need for globalization and localization; the need for supply chain transformation and production strategies. Attention is drawn to the fact that all outlined questions require defining the situation's context and choosing between alternatives, each with its advantages and disadvantages. The author emphasizes the importance of making informed choices among alternatives, which should be based on careful analysis and evaluation of each dilemma. The author has taken steps towards specifying existing situations in production management and identifying available solution alternatives, considering the needs of the domestic market, resource constraints, and specific technological changes in production. The purpose of the article is to specify the dilemmas of domestic production management in wartime conditions.
