The Concept of «Smart Production» as an Effective Tool for the Digital Transformation of an Enterprise

The digitalization of business production processes during the transition to Industry 4.0 is a key indicator of increasing the competitiveness of industrial companies in the Russian Federation. It is characterized by a whole range of permissible effects, which are not fully manifested in practice, due to the dominance of a partial approach to the application of Industry 4.0 innovations and an acute shortage of company managers with a complete vision of the entire process of digitalization of production. The main goal of this study is to develop a unified model of digital transformation in the production of all business processes, which would allow making the most rational management decisions in the field of digital technologies, and would also be aimed at the speedy transition of Russian enterprises to Industry 4.0. The following methods were used in the study: conceptual approach, critical thinking, statistical method, as well as the method of system analysis. The results of the study made it possible to conclude about the positive impact of the developed unified model on the management of production business processes in the company, including the formation of a positive socioeconomic effect in general.
