Optimizing Segregated Waste Collection Routes as a Decision-Making Problem in the Municipal Solid Waste Management System in Small Town

Routing vehicles is a generic decision-making problem of strategic management in any business serving customers in distributed locations with a limited fleet including municipal solid waste collection. This paper introduces an approach tailored for optimizing waste collection routes in small towns and rural areas where dead-end streets are typical in the road network. Leveraging the Traveling Salesperson Problem (TSP), the approach employs optimal route determination taking advantage of the specific character of a road network with many dead-end streets. The service area for waste collection was aggregated, so the graph representing the map results in a relatively small data instance. This facilitated the application of the exact method, i.e. Mixed-Integer Programming using the OpenSolver tool in Excel. Conducted in collaboration with a municipal agency in southeastern Poland, this study outlines a comprehensive methodology, emphasizing the reduction of complex dead-end streets into singular nodes within the graph for effective route optimization. A comprehensive methodology is outlined alongside the solutions attained. Computational experiments focused on minimizing total travel distance during waste collection operations, demonstrating the methodology's success. Beyond efficiency gains, optimized routes hold potential for significant environmental impact reduction. The reduced travel distances result in decreased fuel consumption and emissions, aligning with sustainability goals. Developing an Excel-based decision support tool for municipal solid waste management is a significant contribution, particularly for decision-makers less familiar with Operations Research. The tool's compatibility within the spreadsheet environment streamlines waste management processes for municipal units, enhancing decision-making efficiency in optimizing waste collection routes.

Стратегическое управление в России: автоматизированное построение причинно-следственной диаграммы и выявление ключевых тем по данным СМИ

Modern economic conditions are characterized by a high degree of uncertainty and complexity, which is difficult to formalize. Fuzzy cognitive maps make it possible to solve this problem – to cope with complexity, but when cognitive maps are built on the basis of expert opinions, this sometimes causes distrust due to the subjectivity of the judgments of individual specialists and doubts about compliance with the examination procedure. Therefore, the task of developing analytical tools to increase the awareness of decision makers about the real state of affairs in the organization and in the external environment is relevant, because contributes to the growth of their efficiency. The article proposes and tests a procedure for automated construction of a cause-and-effect diagram using statistical methods, as well as methods and models of machine learning. With the help of modern methods of topic modeling, key topics (concepts) are identified in the area under consideration for the considered period of time. The Doc2Vec model is then used to derive a fixed length numeric vector from the identified topics. The Granger test is then used to establish the possibility of a causal relationship between the topics found. The constructed cause-and-effect diagram allows you to describe the current situation and understand the key concepts of the area under consideration. According to the Russian media for 20 years (from 2002 to 2021), a cause-and-effect diagram was built that reflects the problems of strategic management in Russia. The analysis of the diagram made it possible to conclude that the topic of Russian projects is the most significant in the area under consideration.

The Application of BDT in Enterprise Strategic Management

With the rapid development of our country's economy, our country's major enterprises have also paid more and more attention to strategic management. Especially in the context of the current important support for the widespread application of BDT(big data technology), the data revolution has quietly begun, which not only helps to optimize the enterprise management environment to a large extent, but also further improves the management efficiency of the enterprise. This article expounds the related concepts of BDT, analyzes the shortcomings of BDT in the current strategic management of enterprises in our country, and finally puts forward an effective way to apply BDT to enterprise strategic management through related research. By using BDT, companies can improve the accuracy of strategy formulation, better improve their own management efficiency, and reduce the workload of employees. However, for some small and medium-sized enterprises, due to the lack of big data technical talents, it is difficult to give full play to this technological advantage, which affects the improvement of their own market competitiveness. Therefore, it is necessary to study the application of BDT in corporate strategic management, take effective measures to solve the current problems in corporate strategic management, improve the level of corporate strategic management, and make improvements for the sustainable development of the company. Based on the above analysis, we can know that making full use of big data-related technologies in corporate strategic management can effectively optimize the internal strategic management environment and efficiency of the enterprise.

The article is devoted to the problems of strategic management of regional development factors. Modern strategic management is the impetus for the formation and implementation of the region's development strategy based on continuous monitoring and analysis of environmental changes used to support the region and ensure its support at the state level. That is why regional development should be an economic rather than a political or administrative category. The process of developing a regional development strategy usually begins with the preparatory stage, during which the analysis of factors influencing the development of the region. In particular, the classification of factors of regional development by direction of action is investigated in the article. First of all, the external factors that are general state factors are considered, among them: political and legal, socio-economic, technological, natural and others. The second group of factors considers a number of internal factors, or so-called growth factors. Their list includes: economic potential, social conditions, technological development, innovation and investment, labor, tourism potential, natural resource potential, also international economic relations and others. The basis of strategic management is a set of strategies: social, economic, environmental, etc. This variety of strategies is a modification of several basic strategies, each of which is effective only in a particular situation. That is why it is important to consider the reasons for choosing individual options. The strategy of regional development of the state is heterogeneous by regions. This is due to significant differences in the territories in terms of resources, economic structure, level of development of various sectors of the economy, economic growth rates and so on. That is why this strategy forms, on the one hand, the main goals and objectives of state development for a certain period of time, and on the other – is the basis for developing a number of balanced strategies for economic development of individual regions. The article identifies the importance of analyzing both internal and external factors in developing a regional development strategy.
