Recently, much attention has been paid to such an important aspect as the structure of production, as well as the organization of management for the liquidity of enterprises that are privately owned.

This is associated with changes in certain processes of development of the enterprise and the economy as a whole. The economic crisis, which began in 2008 and continues in our time, provoked an uncontrollable and constant increase in inflation, hidden or open unemployment, and underutilization of the capacities of industrial enterprises.

The competitiveness of an enterprise largely depends on the speed of developing new sales markets, the ability to establish communication between the company's divisions that are engaged in product development, sales and marketing. The application of the achievements of scientific and technological progress also plays a significant role.

In other words, the structure of production must be organized in such a way as to meet all external requirements and, if necessary, be able to make changes to it in a timely manner.

The organizational structure of production depends on the provisions that affect the choice of mechanisms and forms of management. For example, the need to consider profit as the primary goal of the enterprise and the objective motive for its existence, the awareness of contradictions and conflicts of interest in it, etc. The target approach to the formation of the organization is considered fully justified. There are no enterprises that do not pursue certain goals in their activities. If this is a private form of ownership, then often the main goal is profit. A clear formulation of strategy and goals is the first step in the rational process of the organization, which determines the subsequent mechanisms and actions.

The canons of the traditional approach are based on the idea of production as a linear-functional system of a hierarchical type:

- clear regulation of the structure from top to bottom;

- unity of construction in accordance with the basics of unity of command and command;

- the desire for a more economical management apparatus, which is able to cope both with the performance of a separate type of work and with their coordination.

Currently, some of the provisions described above simplify the actual situation and narrow the options for possible approaches, andalso decisions in the reorganization that the production structure or production cost structure requires.

More interesting are the methods of formation and the theory of construction of enterprise processes, which are based on the introduction of the idea of a systematic approach. This methodology has a relative independence and autonomy from the socio-economic conditions and the area of its position. The main idea is the implementation of the design and system analysis of the organization from the standpoint of the idea of decision making. At the same time, in the process of decisions made, a policy is formed that ensures the future of the enterprise. This concept focuses on the decision as an act of choosing the direction of eliminating a certain problem, and not work - an element of the production process or a role - the definition of a specific person in a social system.
