Analysis of an Industrial and Raw Material Facility as a Socio-Economic System

This article considers one of the most important directions, namely, the development of a mineral resource object as regards its comparison with the socio-economic system. Currently exploration and development of prospective land areas not only for the formation of industrial and raw material facilities on them, but also for further creation of commodities-based industries and mineral assemblage dealing with extraction and processing of commercial minerals besides further profit and including final product output, are particularly relevant. In the article, the authors consider the socio-economic system, its main components and functions, interaction of system elements due to their relations and external factors that affect the functioning of this system. The author's definition of the concept of socio-economic system is given. The concept of an industrial raw material facility, its sys-tem-forming elements and interaction between them are viewed. The authors propose a general model for the management and control of an industrial raw material facility, the main factors affecting its functioning are considered in detail. A comparative analysis of the model of the socio-economic system and the general model of an industrial and raw material facility is carried out. It has been proved that the industrial and raw material facility is a socio-economic system. The main application tasks that can be solved on the basis of the author's model for management and control of an industrial and raw material facility are represented. Specifically there are many scientific papers devoted to either the issue of managing and controlling the development of territories or geological and economic valuation of deposits as well as various methods and models, while each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages.
