The process of obtaining iron ore at ore-dressing plant is a continuous process, so equipment failure at any stage leads to equipment downtime at all other stages. In this case, temporary shipment to the warehouse and from the warehouse of semi-finished raw materials leads to an increase in cost and a decrease in the quality of raw materials. These problems determined the purpose and objectives of the study of the possibilities of using a geographic information system to control moving objects in the main mine of the ore-dressing plant based on the system of automatic positioning using GPS or GPS/AVL (Automatic Vehicle Location). Based on satellite data, it is possible to generate various types of reports that allow to better control the situation - to analyze the qualitative and quantitative side of the ore mining process in quarries, to simulate the situation in order to avoid loss of working time. The basis of the study determined the economic effect of the introduction of GPS navigation in the main mine of the plant.

The relevance of the study lies in the essential role of the social services sector in matters of sustainable economic development. The purpose of the article is to analyze the allocative efficiency of the activities of the social service entities. The methodology of allocative efficiency makes it possible to identify a model of the organizational and economic mechanism of the social services sphere, which implements the tasks of the most efficient use of limited resources. The research results show higher efficiency of government institutions, higher volume of services provided and lower costs per client. This feature is due to the relative mass of service and low costs for the provision of stationary premises, the use of a tender procurement system.
