This article is dedicated to theoretical issues of development of the production quality improvement system in the small- and middle-sized enterprises. This system is based on the process-based approach. Briefly the theoretical issues of process-based approach and the main concepts are given. The concept of production quality improvement system and the distinctions from well-known process-based quality management are also given. Objectives and principles of this system are defined by the authors. Also the recommendations by selection of method of assessing the effectiveness of the system.

Keywords: quality production management, process-based management, quality management system, small- and middle-sized enterprises

In this article the issues of determination of optimal parameters of transport and storage facilities are overviewed. It is stated that in some cases the incoming to the storage production volumes and the volumes of transportation vehicles are stochastic. That means that the problem of determination of facilities’ parameters by analysis is impossible without correctness’ losses. In similar cases it is proposed to use the so called “Monte-Carlo” method. In case of impossibility to describe analytically the internal processes, the range of the main phases of complex-system functioning modeling is given. To confirm the advisability of use statistical tests’ method for modeling of transport and storage facilities functioning, the results of coal mines loading facilities functioning researches.
