ТЕОРЕТИЧНІ ОСНОВИ ФУНКЦІОНАЛЬНОГО ПРОЄКТУВАННЯШТУЧНОГО ОБ’ЄКТА Й ОРГАНІЗАЦІЇ ДІЯЛЬНОСТІДЛЯ ЙОГО КОМП’ЮТЕРНОЇ РЕАЛІЗАЦІЇ

This article presents a recursive method of forming a description of any artificial object, which provides its practical computer support, regardless of the object type. The activity of developing new artificial objects is considered a production activity. It is the subject of control, management, organizational and administrative regulation. This activity has three aspects: designing, construction and aesthetic design. The last two are quite simple according to control and management of the development process of the artificial object project, as they are based on a previously accepted and approved concept. However, in the first case, when the designed object is considered as containing many complex components and their processes, a staged decomposition approach is chosen. This process of developing an object description is algorithmized on the basis of a formal Terms of Refences (ToR). A systematic approach is used. This means the selection of components which on purpose are combined into one unit and ensure compliance with the ToR requirements. Object description using the ICOM-approach of the IDEF0 method forms the interfaces necessary for the object functioning. The designing is completed if there is no ToR to clarify any component description. The ToR is not formed after obtaining the elementary task for which the component designing is developed, after selecting a previously developed component, and after selecting a component from a third-party manufacturer. These three cases cover all possible variants of the results of the decomposition of the function and the structure that implements it, and guarantee the completion of an organized recursive process of detailing the description of the designed object. In conclusion, the authors have developed a methodology for designing an artificial technical object of any which provides its practical computer implementation.

Difficult business conditions require maximum flexibility from Ukrainian industrial enterprises in the implementation of financial and economic activities. Financial and economic activity in 2020-2022 was complicated by COVID-19 due to the inhibition of economic processes in order to reduce the rate of spread of the deadly virus. On February 24, 2022, the next phase of military aggression by the Russian Federation began, as a result of which almost half of business entities were forced to stop their activities. Along with the danger of direct military action and missile attacks, there has been a sharp increase in the number of refugees outside the country and internally displaced persons. The significant deterioration of conditions actualized the need for greater flexibility in the functioning of all industrial enterprises. There was a need for a theoretical justification of the application of adaptation procedures within the framework of the economic security management system for further safe adaptation of the enterprise. The purpose of the study is to model the functioning of the adaptive-oriented economic security management system of the enterprise by using the IDEF0 method. In order to model the functioning of the adaptive-oriented economic security management system of an industrial enterprise, the following methods were used: induction and deduction, comparison and systematization – in the study of the essential characteristics of the terms "adaptation" and "adaptive-oriented management of the economic security of the enterprise"; synthesis and analysis – for the formation of theoretical provisions for the implementation of adaptation procedures; morphological analysis – to clarify the content of the stages within the IDEF0 model; IDEF0 functional modeling - for the purpose of modeling the process of functioning of the adaptive-oriented economic security management system of an industrial enterprise; graphic – for visual presentation of theoretical and methodical material; abstract-logical – for theoretical generalizations and research conclusions. It is substantiated that the adaptive-oriented economic security management system of the enterprise is focused on making changes to the parameters and the process of interaction of subjects and security objects in accordance with the flow of processes in the external and internal environment, based on adaptation potential, with the aim of adapting to the influence of threats to maintain stability and achieve corporate interests. Simulation of ensuring the functioning of such a system was carried out by applying the IDEF0 method. The decomposition of the first level of the context diagram of the IDEF0 model was developed, which made it possible to specify, formalize and visualize the main stages of the functioning of the adaptive-oriented economic security management system of the industrial enterprise.
