Function cost analysis in veterinary science

Abstract

A veterinary service support system in the new social and economic environment has been evaluated. The function cost analysis (FCA) is suggested to be used for veterinary service as a method for integrated systems investigation of the objects’ functions aimed at providing of the socially necessary consumer properties of objects and minimal costs for their manifestation. An object of the FCA is an item, engineering process, manufacturing organization information structure as well as their certain elements exposed to a research with the purpose of choosing an optimal variant of their functions’ realization with costs minimized. The content of work on the function cost analysis in veterinary science assumes that it will be consistently carried out as to the strictly-defined interrelated stages: preparation, information support, analysis, creation, recommendations, and introduction. It is generalized that providing of appropriate quality of functioning can be achieved through organizational and economic reorganization of veterinary service by means of transferring it to a complete self-supporting basis with partial budgetary financing for prevention of the most dangerous infectious diseases common to animals and humans.
