Abstract:

The purpose of the work is the need of the theoretical justification and the development of relevant scientific and methodological approaches to the management of the road production quality of machine-building enterprises; it led to the choice of research topics. Methodology. Taking into account the value of existing methods of quality management of road production engineering companies, currently a particular attention requires improvement of the quality control functions: analysis, evaluation, planning and quality control during the operation of road-building equipment, because existing economic practices and quality management approaches are built on classical principles of ISO 9001, and in the practical application do not solve all of the drawbacks of traditional management models, but only smooth them a little. Therefore, the formation of the quality management strategy for the road production of mechanical engineering is essential to ensure the competitiveness of products and enterprises of the road-building complex in the period of development of market relations in the economy. The results showed that the current market conditions impose strict requirements to all production areas of the society. Especially stringent are requirements for the road construction, because the quality of the construction of the subgrade, covering roads and curbs, grading and soil compaction under different conditions of terrain and driving safety depends on people's lives. This factor determines the exceptional quality requirements for roadbuilding equipment, which must be reliable, functional and able to meet the totality of the design and operational characteristics of the road. Further European integration of Ukraine, deepening of external economic relations with the European countries are responsible for the growing needs of the national economy in the development and expansion of the transport network. However, large-scale road construction and repair of roads is impossible without the organization of effective operation of the road for mechanical engineering – heavy construction and earthmoving machinery. Currently in our country present its own engineering manufacturers of road construction equipment (among large – JSC "Kredmash"), however, the domestic production of road is significantly inferior in terms of domestic consumption of products of foreign manufacturers of the road. Despite the fact that the price of domestic producers less than of imported ones an average in three times, including bulldozers, scrapers, cranes, crawler cars more than 50% (Komatsu, Hitachi, Mitsubishi and others.). Practical implications. The practical significance of the results of the study identifies opportunities to improve the efficiency of traffic control products quality enterprises construction and road engineering. Value/originality. Implementation of the proposed methods and approaches to the formation of the quality of the machine-building enterprise management strategy for road construction will improve the efficiency of quality control processes and the level of enterprise competitiveness.
