Determination of the maximum number of employees of the JSC Russian Railways engaged in transportation activities when planning measures for programs to increase labor productivity

Introduction of measures aimed at increasing labor productivity should ensure an increase in the efficiency of production processes in terms of costs associated primarily with labor resources. Optimization of its number is reflected in the characteristics of the production process, and above all on its sustainability. Sustainability means the ability of a process to return to its original state despite the action of external and internal factors. Sustainability is characterized by indicators of reliability, safety and stability of the production process and is determined by a complex index indicator that includes the listed characteristics. Unreasonable recommendation and implementation of measures to increase labor productivity with the release of employees without taking into account the achieved level of sustainability can lead to a decrease in the efficiency of production, an increase in operating costs and disruption of basic production processes. In this regard, the problem arises of determining the permissible reserve for the release of employees when planning organizational and managerial measures, taking into account the sustainability of production processes associated with transportation activities.
