Scientific advisor Elena Startseva, Associate Professor at the Department of Supply Chain Management, National Research University Higher School of Economics 4. Keywords: production, production planning, metallurgy, production planning systems, planning organization In modern times, companies are faced with increasingly complex customer requirements, uncertain markets and customer expectations for fast product delivery. This has led manufacturing companies to make various efforts to quickly meet customer requirements and thus shorten production times. The main problem of production planning is characterized by significant complexity, including multiple stages of production, multiple processing units, total resources, design and operational constraints, the use of intermediate and final products. Therefore, the synchronization of production stages is an extremely difficult task, while a long time horizon leads to larger and more complex planning problems. The aim of the work is to improve logistics business processes using production planning technologies using the example of a metallurgical company. In accordance with the object and subject to achieve the goal of the study, the following tasks were solved in the work: • Analyzed the existing logistics activities of the investigated metallurgical company; • Studied the theoretical aspects of production planning models and determined the impact of production planning systems on logistics business processes; • Proposed measures to improve logistics business processes when using production planning technologies on the example of a metallurgical company, which indicates the achievement of the research goal. The volume of the master's thesis: pages - 52, figures - 11, tables - 4, a list of literary sources - 15, appendices - 1 on 1 page.
