The article deals with the analysis of current legislative mechanisms of state policy implementation in the sphere of energy saving and energy efficiency. A number of crucial measures highlighted needed to ensure fulfillment of federal legislation requirements on energy efficient equipment and products while implementing state and municipal procurement procedures. The article notes problems occurring while implementing those requirements resulting from the absence of energy efficiency criteria and products life cycle cost while assessing and comparing applications. The article analyses the role and capacities of Moscow city which was selected as a pilot region to introduce energy efficiency labels and to ensure legislative and normative framework for order placement for municipal needs on the basis of energy efficiency standards and labels. The article points out that currently valid authority of the city touches on not only effective implementation of federal legislation but also issues related to the development of regional legislative framework.

  Methods of mathematical (geometric) modeling are often used in the current research of multivariate processes and their optimization tasks combined with traditional mathematical methods of experiment planning. This simulation is carried out by methods of descriptive geometry, its practical values a graphical representation of the functional relationships of the quality from factors and parameters that define a process with number of variables more than three. Definition’s algorithms of the optimization based on the Radishchev drawingin the article are given to ensure the visibility of images and solve certain technical problems. The graphical model of the process optimization of joining parts of garments was constructed.

  In present-day management practice of the competitive industrial enterprise  the priority is given to Lean manufacturing tools, which allow to improve the quality of products or services without capital expenditures, reduce cost and lead time by eliminating waste in inner processes of the company. This article analyzes the dynamics of the main technical and economic indices of KAMAZ, OJSC. The correlation and regression analysis of dynamic series has been conducted by means of production system KAMAZ development indicators. It has been proved that the suggested methods of Lean manufacturing management contribute to waste reduction, effective resources management and personnel activation.

Labour market is a complicated social and economic system, which requires the necessity to consider a number of characteristic properties (stochasticity,nonlinearity,inertance,nonstationarity) for investigation and modelling labor market processes and phenomena. In this article the problem of optimum control of a labour market is mathematically formalized. This allows for regional system of a labor market to reach desirable indicators, namely the set unemployment rate.

Construction lending risks define a special operations procedure for lender. The most important measure to construction lending risk minimization are the covenants (information and financial). The information covenants are used for minimization the hidden information (pre-contractual opportunism), and financial covenants (positive and negative) – for minimization the hidden action (post-contractual opportunism). Institutionalization of covenants as a relevant control and supervision procedure allow to reduce information asymmetry and make the construction lending process less risky and more predictable for concerned parties (agent and principal).
