Abstract:
Flash is the unwanted or excessrubber material that presents on the outersurface of themolded rubber product. This will affect the surface finish; it is a cosmetic defect andit can be removed. It forms because of the leak or the excess molded rubber materialbetween the surface of the mold, typically on the parting line, (Jordan Anderson,2014). The presence of flash will reduce customer satisfaction. There are manymethods to remove the flash. The method is selected according to the degree of flashextension and the location where it occurs.The project aims to design a semi/full automated machine, which helps for having asmooth and fine surface finish of the weight plates. These plates are made up of rubberfor the ELEIKO group. The weight plates have different weights from 10 to 20 kg,but the diameter of each plate stays the same, but the thickness will be different foreach plate. The machine should be designed that removes all the excess rubber andshould smoothen the outer surface of the weight. The purpose of this work is to gainknowledge about different product development methods, respective tools, andtechniques that are used. The machine should be user- friendly, should not becomplicated, should not damage the workpiece (marks or trace of the blade), shouldnot put the employer in danger, and economically feasible.This report presents the progress of designing of the product, product development,methods, and literature study. The designed model can construct in the industry fortheir problem they are faced by the flash. The model is very simple and unique so thateveryone can perform the task without any previous experience. Material alternativeswere evaluated as well as manufacturing possibilities. The designed machine was theoffered for free as means for further research and development. Keywords: flashing, additive manufacturing, Ullman method, Pugh matrix, rubberweight plates, lever arm, smoothening tool.

Abstract:
Risk can be viewed as a state where there is a possibility of a loss but also a hope of gain. To realise the existence of a risk, one must be aware of both the gains and losses incurred.Increased number of natural disasters and companies having global supply chains to a higher extent, are both factors which have increased the number of risks that can affect anorganisation’s supply chain negatively. This fact has made it even more important to focus on risk prevention. In the beverage industry market, characterized by fast-moving products,manufacturing companies like Coca-Cola Enterprises Sweden (CCES) can be highly affected if disturbances occur in their supply chain. Risk management is, according to ISO 31000, “coordinated activities to direct and control an organization with regard to risk “. A risk management processes therefore aims at mitigatingnegative impact of external and internal disturbances in order to avoid interruptions in production, product quality issues and financial losses. CCES’s control over internal processes and its disturbances is mostly based on reactive approaches rather than a proactive strategy and there exist no guidelines of how to identify and handle occurring disturbances. The main purpose of the project has therefore been to identify the most critical risks the company is facing within their “Source” and “Make” processes, and find both proactive and reactive mitigation actions. Another significant part of the project delivery is to present a model for how the company should organize and maintain a sustainable risk picture. The model aims to present a dynamic risk management process that can be used by CCES as well as other companies in the future. The project consists of three major phases; Risk Identification, Risk Avoidance Mapping and Implementation of a Risk Management Process. In the first phase, the brainstorming tool Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) has been used during workshop events for risk identification and assessment. Some of the most critical risks identified are; Sabotage during  transport from supplier to CCES, Lack of spare parts for maintenance, Lost production time due to long beverage change overs and Filling bottles with too much beverage. In order to find feasible preventive and reactive mitigation actions for the critical risks, both employee interviews and the Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) model has been applied. Some of the actions recommended to perform are concluded to be; Let suppliers own transports, Standardize the product change process and the shift hand overs and Implement routines of having locked transports from supplier to CCES. The structure of the project has acted as a basis for the recommended way of continuing the risk management work at CCES. The authors have identified the importance of keeping the risk management process dynamic, and therefore a Risk Register have been introduced for documentation and follow-up. Another way of following up the risk management work, is to perform Risk Audits after the event of a disturbance. This will help the organisation to realize the impact a certain disturbance brings, but it will also measure of the recovery work’s effectiveness. The authors highlight the importance of having a dedicated owner of the risk management process in order to keep it dynamic. A complete risk management process has finally been created, adaptable to different kind of organisations. By making this process a part of SCOR, the authors believes that the process can be used to identify individual risks within the management processes Plan, Source, Make, Deliver and Return for all SCOR member companies. Thereafter, a general risk mapping can be created from the individual risks that can be used to share information and experiences among the member companies.<br>En risk kan förklaras som ett tillstånd där det finns en chans att vinna, men också en sannolikhet för förlust. För att vara medveten om en risks existens måste man därför förstå både vad det finns att förlora och vinna. Under de senaste årtiondena har antalet naturkatastrofer och annan extern påverkan ökat. Detta i kombination med att företag idag har globala värdekedjor i allt större utsträckning, har gjort att organisationer utsätter sig för risker till en större grad idag. Därför har betydelsen av att fokusera på riskförmildrande åtgärder ökat. I dryckesindustrin, karaktäriserat av snabbrörliga produkter, kan företag såsom Coca-Cola Enterprises Sweden (CCES) påverkas hårt om störningar sker i deras värdekedja. Risk Management är, enligt ISO 31000, ”koordinerade aktiviteter för att styra och kontrollera riskhantering i en organisation”. En riskhanteringsprocess ämnar därför förmildra negativ påverkan av interna och externa störningar för att undvika till exempel avvikelser i produktion, försämrad produktkvalitet och finansiella förluster. CCES’s kontroll över interna processer och dess störningar baseras främst på reaktiva åtgärder, och företaget har inga riktlinjer för hur de ska identifiera och hantera uppkommande störningar. Syftet med detta projekt har därför varit att identifiera kritiska risker inom företagets leverantörs- och produktionsprocesser och att hitta proaktiva och reaktiva lösningar för att förmildra och undvika störningar. Ytterligare en stor del av projektets syfte har varit att presentera en dynamisk process för hur CCES, samt andra företag, ska organisera en hållbar riskbild. Projektet består av tre huvudsakliga delar; riskidentifiering, riskförmildrande åtgärder och implementering av en riskhanteringsprocess. I den första fasen har verktyget Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) används under workshops för att identifiera och värdera risker. Några av de mest kritiska riskerna som identifierats är; Sabotage under transport från leverantör till CCES, Brist på reservdelar för underhållsarbete, Förlorad produktionstid på grund av för långa dryckesbytartider och Fyller flaskor med för mycket dryck. För att hitta passande reaktiva och proaktiva lösningar för de kritiska riskerna har både intervjuer med anställda genomförts och referensmodellen Supply Chain Reference Model (SCOR) använts. Några av de åtgärder rekommenderade att göra har identifierats till att vara; Låta leverantörerna själva sköta transporter, Standardisera produktbytesprocessen samt skiftöverlämningar och Implementera rutiner för att ha låsta transporter från leverantör till CCES. Strukturen av projektet har använts som en bas för den rekommenderade strukturen på CCE’s fortskridande arbete inom riskhantering. Författarna vill bestryka vikten av att hålla den framtida riskhanteringsprocessen dynamisk och i detta syfte har därför ett riskregister tagits fram för dokumentation och uppföljning. Ett annat sätt att följa upp riskprocessarbetet är att genomföra så kallade audits efter en störning har inträffat. Detta hjälper organisationen både att förstår en störnings påverkan på verksamheten, men fungerar också som ett verktyg för att mäta hur effektivt återhämtningsarbetet efter en störning har varit. Författarna menar också att en dedikerad ägare till riskprocessen är av stor betydelse för ett dynamiskt, framgångsrikt och effektivt riskarbete. En fullständig riskhanteringsprocess har slutligen sammanställts, användbar för många olika typer av organisationer. Genom att göra processen till en del av SCOR-modellen, kan processen i framtiden användas till att identifiera individuella risker inom de fem managementprocesserna Planering, Inköp, Tillverkning, Leverans och Retur för alla SCOR’s medlemsföretag. Därefter menar författarna att en generell kartläggning över de mest kritiska riskerna inom varje managementprocess kan skapas för att dela information och utbyta erfarenheter mellan medlemsföretagen.

Abstract:
This thesis describes a system which is able to track and imitate human motion. The system is divided into two major parts: computer vision system and robot arm motion control system. Through the use of two real-time video cameras, computer vision system identifies the moving object depending on the colour features, as the object colour is matched within the colour range in the current image frame, a method that employs two vectors is used to calculate the coordinates of the object. After the object is detected and tracked coordinates are saved to a pre-establish database in the purpose of further data processing, a mathematical algorithm is performed to the data in order to give a better robotic motion control. Robot arm manipulator responds with a move within its workspace which corresponds to a consequential human-type motion. Experimental outcomes have shown that the system is reliable and can successfully imitate a human hand motion in most cases.

Abstract:
This report is the result of a conducted Minor Field Study (MFS), to the greatestextent funded by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency(SIDA), in an attempt to design a system for evaluating smaller solar power systems indeveloping countries. The study was to the greater part conducted in Nairobi, Kenyain close collaboration with the University of Nairobi. The aim was to develop asystem that would use easily available components and keep the costs to a minimum,yet deliver adequate performance. The system would measure certain parameters of asolar power system and also relevant environmental data in order to evaluate theperformance of the system. Due to the specific competence of the collaboratinggroup at the University of Nairobi, a Kinetis Freescale K64-microcontroller with anARM-Cortex processor was selected as the core of the design. Components wereselected, schematics were drawn, a circuit board was designed and manufactured andsoftware was written. After 12 weeks a somewhat satisfying proof-of-concept wasreached at the end of the field study in Kenya. The project however proved howdifficult it is to go from first idea to a functional proof-of-concept during a limitedtimeframe, and also in an East-African country. The final proof-of-concept was testedat Mpala Research Centre in Kenya and despite containing some flaws proved that itwould indeed be possible to design a working system on the principles discussed inthis report. The system is open-source, so anyone may use and modify it.

Abstract:
The strategies to employ when a small to medium sized enterprise (SME) enters the international market are important issues for a business to consider. This research study addresses the question “What strategies will position New Zealand manufacturing small and medium sized enterprises for international markets?” It is intended to compare various strategies for going global, discovering these through a literature review and personal interviews with New Zealand businesses who have successfully globalised. The research studies globalisation within manufacturing small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) in New Zealand. It explores strategies available in order to discover their advantages and disadvantages, and suggests key strategic directions for New Zealand manufacturing SME’s to use when entering into international markets. The research is intended to benefit New Zealand SME’s considering entering the international market place, which in turn will contribute towards benefiting New Zealand as a whole as it endeavours to position itself in the international competitive arena. Specific strategies for New Zealand manufacturing SME’s wishing to establish global markets are explored with implications for theory, research, and business practices. A case study approach was adopted, with multiple research methods used to gather information for the study. An experience survey in the form of personal interviews was used to gather a range of views from people with knowledge and experience in exporting to international markets. Documents were analysed, together with information gained through the interviews to compile case histories of the businesses that participated in this research. Strategies relevant to going global were identified in a literature review and these strategies were compared with actions and directions taken by the businesses interviewed. The analysis of the findings reveals congruence with theoretical strategies for globalisation of SMEs identified in previous studies; however it was found that decisions made when going global were highly dependent on the individual circumstances that a business finds itself in, rather than committing to strategies based on assumptions from academic studies. The businesses involved in this study went global through opportunities more so than strategic purpose. They had not set out to be a global enterprise, however when the opportunities arose their globalisation effort needed total commitment. Their experiences are discussed in this study and have relevance for other firms looking to go global.

Abstract:
Aluminum alloy castings are being integrated increasingly into automotive and aerospace assemblies due to their extraordinary properties, especially high strength-to-density ratio. To produce high quality castings, it is necessary to understand the mechanisms of the formation of defects, specifically pores and inclusion, in aluminum. There have been numerous studies on pore formation during solidification which lead to hot tearing and/or reduction in mechanical properties. However, a comprehensive study that correlates pore formation theory with in situ observations and modeling assumptions from the literature as well as experimental observations in not available. The present study is motivated to fill this gap. An in-depth discussion of pore formation is presented in this study by first reinterpreting in situ observations reported in the literature as well as assumptions commonly made to model pore formation in aluminum castings. The physics of pore formation is reviewed through theoretical fracture pressure calculations based on classical nucleation theory (i) for homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation, and (ii) with and without dissolved gas, i.e., hydrogen. Based on the fracture pressure for aluminum, critical pore size and corresponding probability of vacancies clustering to form the critical-size pore have been calculated by using thermodynamic data reported in the literature. Calculations show that it is impossible for a pore to nucleate either homogeneously or heterogeneously in aluminum, even with dissolved hydrogen. The formation of pores in aluminum castings can only be explained by inflation of entrained surface oxide films entrained during prior damage to liquid aluminum (bifilms) under reduced pressure and/or with dissolved gas, which involves only growth, avoiding any nucleation problem. This mechanism is consistent with reinterpretations of in situ observations as well as assumptions made in the literature to model pore formation. To determine whether damage to liquid aluminum by entrainment of surface oxides can be observed and measured, Reduced Pressure Tests (RPT) have been conducted by using high quality, continuously cast A356.0 aluminum alloys ingots. Analyses of RPT samples via micro-computer tomography (μ-CT) scanning have demonstrated that number of pores and volume fraction of pore in aluminum casting increased by raising the pouring height (i.e., velocity of the liquid). Moreover, pore size distributions were observed to be lognormal, consistent with the literature. Cross-sections of RPT samples have been investigated via scanning electron microscopy. In all cases, the presence of oxygen was detected inside, around and between the pores. The existence of oxide films inside all pores indicates that oxide films act as initiation sites for pores and hydrogen only assist to growth of pores. For the first time, the pore formation is reconciled with physical metallurgy principles, supported by observations of oxide films in aluminum castings. Results clearly indicate that pores are extrinsic defects and can be eliminated by careful design of the entire melting and casting process.

Abstract:
Denna rapport är ett resultat av utförd fallstudie på Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery AB. Studien utfördes som ett DMAIC-projekt i syfte att utvärdera befintlig processtyrning och ge förslag på nya styrparametrar för att styra och övervaka tillverkningsprocessen av rotorer. En rotor skapas genom montage av turbinmodul på kompressorrotor. För att säkerställa rotorns funktionalitet mäts rotorkast kontinuerligt under tillverkningprocessen. Stora rotorkast uppstår sporadiskt vid montaget varpå nuvarande avhjälpningsmetod  innefattar tids- och kostnadskrävande demontage och återmontage av turbinmodul på kompressorrotor.  Rekommendationer har utformats och baserats utifrån historiskt analyserad data, insamlad mellan åren 2013 och 2020, 19 intervjuer och 2 workshops. Rekommendationer innefattar implementering av statistisk processtyrning. Ett av argumenten till implementeringen är att börja utvärdera effekten av genomförda förbättringsprojekt. Denna studie identifierade ett förbättringsprojekt, genomfört år 2016, som ökade andelen defekter med 454%. Då förbättringsprojektet tros bidragit med en förbättring i ett annat processteg ges rekommendationen att utvärdera helheten av implementerad förbättringsåtgärd. Avslutningsvis rekommenderas att uppdatera dagens bristfälliga processtyrning genom beräknandet av nya toleranser baserat på önskad kvalitetsnivå och eliminera diskrepanserna mellan de idag använda toleranserna.<br>This report is a result of a case study carried out at Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery AB. The study was conducted as a DMAIC project with the aim of evaluating existing process control and proposing new control parameters for controlling and monitoring the manufacturing pro- cess of rotors. A rotor is created by the assembly of a turbine module on a compressor rotor. In order to ensure the functionality of the rotor, rotor-runout is continuously measured during the manufacturing process. Large rotor-runouts occur sporadically during assembly and the current method to fix the abnormalities includes time- and costly disassembly and re-assembly of the turbine module on the compressor rotor. Recommendations have been designed after analysis of historical data collected between 2013 and 2020, 19 interviews and 2 workshops. Recom- mendations include implementation of statistical process control. One of the arguments for the implementation is to start evaluating the effects of completed improvement projects. This study identified an improvement project, completed in 2016, which increased the proportion of defects by 454%. Since the improvement project is believed to have contributed to an enhancement in another part of the process, a more holistic way of evaluation is needed to follow up effects of improvements projects. Finally, it is recommended to update the tolerances by calculating new ones based on the desired quality level while also eliminating the discrepancies between the different tolerances used today.

Abstract:
Robotic haptics has been and continues to be an area of intense research, primarily in medical and exploration industries. This is due to an ability to provide high data throughput between human and machine. In medical applications, it is possible to detect and compensate errors such as a hand tremor in a surgeon. It is possible to apply scaling factors to assist in microsurgery situations, and can allow leading experts to perform procedures from anywhere on the globe. As part of a collaboration to develop a robotic method of femur fracture realignment between Auckland University, Auckland District Health Board, and Massey University, the project seeks to provide a haptic driven HMI for the realignment system. To reduce construction required, an existing manipulation arm (Mitsubishi RV-M1) is used as the hardware interface device. A new motor controller is designed to provide additional functionality as the standard controller provides no force control or real-time feedback of position. A software interface is developed (using version 3 of the C# programming language, developed by Microsoft, and version 3.5 of the Microsoft .NET Framework) with the ultimate specification of becoming being the primary interface platform for the realignment system. The interface has been implemented to the point of providing a simulated environment for the haptic device. It was found that the configuration of the RV-M1 provides a tight area of high dexterity as a haptic device, and as such, similar kinematic configurations are poor candidates for practical implementation. The implication of which, is that a new manipulator should be designed which grants a larger volume of high dexterity space.

Abstract:
Developing successful new products in New Zealand Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) is difficult due to several factors. These include greater expectations, new technology, reduced product lifecycles, high project failure rates, and the pressures from competition. This presents a significant challenge for a product development team as it leaves companies searching for opportunities to gain an advantage in the market place. The low level of research performed in relation to SMEs over the past number of years, especially in the field of New Product Development (NPD), has resulted in an increase in interest by practitioners and academics. This research was aimed at exploring the pre-development phase currently employed by SMEs within the New Zealand manufacturing industry. The purpose was to gauge the understanding and importance of this early stage in NPD amongst practitioners from these SMEs, as the literature highlighted this as an area of weakness requiring empirical research. Specifically, the objectives set for this research investigation were to survey manufacturing SMEs in New Zealand, compare the findings with past and current research on a national and international level, and make conclusions in relation to: • The nature and complexity of the pre-development activities performed by New Zealand manufacturing SMEs. • The difficulties and/or limitations New Zealand manufacturing SMEs encounter whilst implementing the pre-development activities. • The importance of and attitude towards the pre-development phase with regards to the overall NPD process and the company’s product development efforts. The study consisted of a questionnaire survey, run during June and July 2007 with twenty-two SMEs representing the light engineering/manufacturing, electronics, and food industry sectors. The questionnaire survey was followed up with one-on-one interviews with some of the participating companies allowing for both quantitative and qualitative data to be obtained. The research investigation found that the difficulties in carrying out the five predevelopment activities studied were common, compounded by the lack of skills inhouse to do so. Of the five pre-development activities studied, the preliminary technical analysis was found to be given the most attention by the companies with regard to overall project time, with lesser emphasis placed on the other four activities. Many of the companies developed ‘new to the world’ products or entered new markets with existing products where they primarily took part in the business-tobusiness market. Good relationships existed between the manufacturing SMEs and their suppliers, distributors and customers. Management were found to have a high level of involvement in product planning, as they tend to be involved in key decision making in NPD in SMEs. Many of the companies had difficulty when it came to identifying opportunities and customer needs, with the addition of numerous barriers limiting the implementation of NPD. The greatest difficulties arose during the practical implementation of tools and techniques due to several challenges, such as limited budgets, lack of time and resources as well as incompatibility within the existing company culture. Clearly, the pre-development phase is the basis for the remainder of the NPD process with essential development decisions being made here. This phase is therefore crucial in determining the likely outcome of NPD projects. The research findings suggested that greater consideration and effort should be placed on the pre-development phase, even more so with the cost increasing exponentially when mistakes are made later in development. The study highlighted the need to improve the tools and techniques available for use during the pre-development phase, as companies are aware of its importance but find it the most difficult to undertake. High new product failure rates; over-expenditure of project time; lack of awareness, commitment, and formality; and the high level of difficulty experienced by the New Zealand SMEs studied, suggests there is a need for the implementation of better tools and techniques during the predevelopment phase to aid successful NPD in New Zealand manufacturing SMEs.

Abstract:
Modern Rapid Prototyping (RP) technology has been available for more than a decade and has aided in shortening product development times and costs in the manufacturing sector. Stereolithography (SL), the most mature of RP technology, has primarily been used to build small to medium sized parts although there are largescale applications i.e. the automotive industry that uses “mammoth SLA”. Recent developments in SL have been aimed at increasing the speed of the additive process of most SL apparatus (SLA). Developments include the chemistry of photopolymer resins, integral-curing processes as opposed to vector-by-vector processes, and what is now called microstereolithography. Integral curing has been made possible by the advent of dynamic masking generators such as liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and digital micromirror devices (DMDs). Much of the theory for this new layering process has been applied to the micro-scale and awaits application for medium to large sized parts. The Limaye Model was applied to a microstereolithography apparatus (µSLA) and used as a process planning method for curing dimensionally accurate micro parts. Examination of the results of this mathematical model shows an irradiance map simulating the irradiances on the resin surface. The light is expected to attenuate from the central axis according to a measured irradiance curve. Improvements can be made to the Limaye Model to make it applicable for the process planning of medium to large parts. It is the aim of this research to present an improved mathematical model of the Limaye Model, so that a given irradiance map will produce an evenly distributed irradiance and account for errors in the optical imaging system. It is hoped that the field of exposure of 200mm x 270mm or larger will be achieved.

Abstract:
Актуальность темы исследования. Эффективная организация производственной системы является инструментом повышения конкурентоспособности предприятия на рынке. В период активного роста конкуренции и снижения спроса на продукцию наиболее успешными становятся компании способные проявлять гибкость в управлении и нацеленные на снижение себестоимости и оптимизации цикла производства. Для поддержания производственной системы на конкурентоспособном уровне необходимо не только соблюдать качество исполнения производственных регламентов и процессов, но и следовать новым трендам в области организации. Актуальность проблемы повышения эффективности функционирования производственной системы методами бережливого производства подтверждается недостаточной конкурентоспособностью российских предприятий на внешних рынках. В ходе работы рассмотрена эксплуатационная, техническая и экономическая документация. В результате проанализирован процесс производства медных катодов, произведены сметные расчеты расходов на внедрение инструментов бережливого производства, произведена оценка экономической эффективности внедряемых инструментов бережливого производства, рассмотрена текущая производственная ситуация при производстве медных катодов АО «Уралэлектромедь» в ключе применения алгоритма развития производственной системы, основанного на анализе результатов деятельности предприятия с применением «колеса бережливого производства» и позволяющий принимать оперативные управленческое решения и управлять развитием производственной системы.<br>Relevance of the research topic. Efficient organization of the production system is a tool to improve the competitiveness of enterprises in the market. In the period of active growth of competition and reduction in demand for products, companies that are most capable of flexibility in management and aimed at cost reduction and optimization of the production cycle become the most successful. To maintain the production system at a competitive level, it is necessary not only to comply with the quality of performance of production regulations and processes, but also to follow new trends in the organization. The urgency of the problem of increasing the efficiency of the production system functioning by methods of lean production is confirmed by the lack of competitiveness of Russian enterprises in foreign markets. During the work considered operational, technical and economic documentation. As a result, the copper cathode production process was analyzed, cost estimates for the introduction of lean manufacturing tools were estimated, the economic efficiency of the lean manufacturing tools introduced was evaluated, the current production situation in the production of copper cathodes by Uralelectromed JSC was considered in the key to the application of the development system algorithm based on the analysis results of the enterprise with the use of "lean wheel" and poses olyayuschy take operational decisions and manage the development of the production system.

Abstract:
On the Russian market, the Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation and a number of large companies that are monopolists or oligopolists in various markets and areas of activity within the fuel and energy sector, such as PJSC Gazprom, PJSC NK Rosneft, PJSC NOVATEK, are responsible for the development and operation of this sphere. The activities of these companies are focused on production, transportation and export deliveries, as well as the technological development of fuel and energy resources and methods of their application. However, the development of the fuel and energy complex is impossible without state support, namely, without the participation of the Council of the Federation of the Russian Federation, the President of the Russian Federation and the Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation. State support contributes to the receipt of subsidies, financial loans and incentives to companies in the fuel and energy complex for the effective and active development of innovative technologies and improving the standard of living of society in various constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The most effective way to develop the fuel and energy complex and apply technologies in the country for its development and increase the level of well-being are state programs. The state program is an instrument of state regulation that ensures the achievement of long-term goals and objectives by using available resources and identifies companies whose participation will contribute to the favorable implementation of the program. In addition to the fact that the process of developing a state program is laborious, it should be noted that the implementation process is complex. It is necessary to develop an effective strategy for the development and implementation of government programs, focusing on the production capabilities of participating companies, given the relevance and need for the development and implementation of government programs for society. Mandatory factors should be consumer needs and desires, which should be guided and satisfied through the implementation of state programs. For their full satisfaction, it is necessary to systematize and organize the effective and appropriate performance of all functional participants in state programs, as well as provide the necessary resources for their favorable implementation. The best way to achieve the above aspects is to use a marketing and project approach in the management and implementation of government programs, the use of tools that help to take into account all the necessary parameters, an in-depth analysis of the market, a thorough analysis of consumers and their needs, development of an implementation strategy, determination of a development vector, and most importantly, developing an effective government program.<br>На российском рынке за развитие и функционирование данной сферы отвечает Министерство энергетики Российской Федерации и ряд крупных компаний являющихся монополистами или олигополистами на различных рынках и направлениях деятельности в рамках ТЭК, такие как ПАО «Газпром», ПАО «НК «Роснефть», ПАО «НОВАТЭК», ПАО «Россетти», ПАО «Лукойл» и другие. Деятельность данных компаний ориентирована на добычу, транспортировку и экспортные поставки, а также технологическое развитие топливно-энергетических ресурсов и способов их применения. Однако, развитие ТЭК невозможно без государственной поддержки, а именно без участия Совета федерации РФ, Президента РФ и Министерства энергетики РФ. Государственная поддержка способствует получению субсидий, финансовых займов и льгот компаниям топливно-энергетического комплекса для эффективного и активного развития инновационных технологий и повышения уровня жизни общества в разных субъектах Российской Федерации. Наиболее действенным способом развития топливно-энергетического комплекса и применения технологий в стране для ее развития и повышения уровня благосостояния, являются государственные программы. Государственная программа — это инструмент государственного регулирования, обеспечивающий достижение перспективных целей и задач путем использования имеющихся ресурсов и определяющий компании, участие которых будет способствовать благоприятной реализации программы. Помимо того, что процесс разработки государственной программы трудоемкий, необходимо отметить, что и процесс реализации сложный. Необходимо разработать эффективную стратегию по разработке и реализации государственных программ, ориентируясь на производственные возможности компаний-участников, учитывая актуальность и необходимость разработки и реализации государственных программ для общества. Обязательными факторами должны являться потребительские потребности и желания, на которые следует ориентироваться и удовлетворять их посредством реализации государственных программ. Для их полноценного удовлетворения необходимо систематизировать и организовать эффективную и целесообразную работоспособность всех функциональных участников государственных программ, а также обеспечивать необходимыми ресурсами для их благоприятной реализации. Наилучшим способом для достижения вышеупомянутых аспектов будет применение маркетингового и проектного подхода в управлении и реализации государственных программ, применение инструментов которых способствуют учету всех необходимых параметров, глубокому анализу рынка, тщательному анализу потребителей и их потребностей, разработке стратегии реализации, определения вектора развития и самое главное, разработке эффективной государственной программы.
