The applied strategic operational analysis is assumed to encompass comparative assessment, variances diagnostics and forecast of the balanced scorecard operational element within the strategic operational goals. Due goods delivery, manufacturing cost and products quality compliance with customer’s demand are to be analyzed. The applied strategic operational analysis commences from the comparative assessment of the outcome due goods delivery indicators and is completed with the forecast of the products quality compliance with customers’ demand indicators. The results can be applied for long-, middle- and short-term managerial decisions development in the field of an operational organization activity. The applied strategic operational analysis technique comprises methods of absolute, relative and average values, comparison, grouping, graphical and table methods, correlation-regression analysis, factoring analysis, cluster analysis, as well as expert evaluation method.
