Resource Potential as a Key Factor of Ukrainian Mining Enterprises Competitive Position

The paper is devoted to formulation of theoretical, methodological and practical recommendations for ensuring enterprise sustainable competitiveness based on an integrated assessment of key resource determinants. The issue of ensuring enterprise competitiveness require increased attention in modern conditions of Ukrainian economy development. It was determined that implementation in production practice of these tasks are possible due to the efficient enterprise resource potential management, which will ensure maximum using of production capacity, cost reduction, improving product quality and competitive position stability. An object of the study is decision-making processes that appear using the enterprise competitiveness resource potential. Subject of the study is expansion of high-quality products’ production in conditions of world demand. The authors were solved the following set of tasks: was clarified the term’s essence «competitiveness» according scientific approach; was determined the enterprise position based on competitiveness integral index calculation; was identified enterprise competitiveness main components in accordance with the resource concept; an assessment of the enterprise technical and economic condition was carried out by calculating the wear and sustainable coefficients, also products qualitative parameters were established based on economic and mathematical modelling methods. The reasons for the decrease in the rate of metallurgical enterprise development were determined: outdated technologies, the need to comply with international quality standards, increased competition in the market, wear of fixed assets. In the final part, to solve these problems, a set of measures has been developed to improve the state of the enterprise by expanding the production of high-quality products through an investment strategy
