Anti-crisis Management of Manufacturing Enterprises: Economic Assessment and Consulting Support Mechanisms

Abstract. Introduction. Modern manufacturing enterprises operate under conditions of economic instability, which increases the risk of crisis situations and necessitates the improvement of anti-crisis management mechanisms. Under such conditions, consulting support becomes an important tool for conducting economic diagnostics, identifying the causes of crises, and substantiating effective managerial decisions.

Purpose. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the theoretical foundations and develop practical recommendations for the anti-crisis management of manufacturing enterprises based on the economic assessment of their condition and the formation of consulting support mechanisms.

Results. The theoretical foundations of anti-crisis management of manufacturing enterprises are systematized, and the main factors contributing to crisis situations are identified. Modern approaches to the economic assessment of the financial and operational condition of enterprises are generalized, and a system of indicators and diagnostic tools for economic diagnostics is characterized. The role of consulting in ensuring the effectiveness of anti-crisis management is substantiated, and the functions, competencies, and tools of consultants are determined. An algorithm for anti-crisis consulting of manufacturing enterprises is developed, covering the stages of economic diagnostics, anti-crisis strategy development, implementation of managerial decisions, and performance monitoring. In addition, a consulting support model for the anti-crisis management of manufacturing enterprises is proposed to improve managerial decision-making and enhance enterprise resilience under conditions of economic instability.

Conclusions. Consulting support is an important component of the anti-crisis management system of manufacturing enterprises. The proposed anti-crisis consulting algorithm and consulting support model can be applied to improve economic diagnostics, develop and implement anti-crisis measures, and increase the effectiveness of enterprise management under crisis conditions.
