Abstract: This article examines the peculiarities of synchronization of uninterrupted production lines in the conditions of their implementation in the factories employing people with physical disabilities. Application of uninterrupted method of production employing majority of the operators with physical disabilities will have certain specificities. In particular, synchronization of the operation of such production lines must be based on stricter requirements towards possible deviations of separate operational cycles within the flow on some work stations. Results of this issue allow conducting fairly precise synchronization of the production line operation in the socially oriented factories, specializing in employing staff members with various physical limitations and disabilities. The author determines the maximum allowable deviations of separate operational cycles form the rhythm of the production line within the framework of such factories, and formulates basic conditions for their synchronization.

Abstract: Large groups of socially oriented enterprises (SOE) exist and function within the national economy system of the Russian Federation. Such enterprises are first of all oriented at employment of the personnel with limited physical capability and implementation of other social functions. Production activity of such economic entities is related to a number of limitations, appearing due to the specific features of the personnel and production organization, such as workplace equipment and adaptation of production technologies and processes. The presented article is devoted to the analysis of the key production limitations of the SOE. Within the framework of the studies in order to obtain the results the author used theoretical and methodological bases for managerial decision-making, organization of production enterprises and operative management.  The article contains elements of theoretical developments for production enterprise management regarding specific production enterprises serving social functions.  Among the main results of the study the author singles out the key elements of production limitations of such enterprises, their hierarchical formation, connection formation and mutual dependency. The results allow for further studies in the sphere of methodology of production organization of the SOE.
