Changing the role of labor as an effect of digital transformation of production

The article examines the new role of living labor, which arises as an effect of the digital transformation of production. Describing this role by regulating processes is the initial stage of their digitization and subsequent digital transformation. The new role of living labor is associated with changes in the requirements for the workforce of personnel, with the dynamics of labor content, with increased internal mobility of personnel, with the adjustment of labor management systems. The regulation of work activities should reflect these changes in order to better adapt staff to the effects of digital transformation and to achieve maximum transformation results. The content of digital transformation is analyzed. Its result is a change in business processes and in the use of living labor. These changes are taking place through the use of end‐to‐end digital technologies based on digitized data describing the production process and, in particular, the labor process. The study was conducted using the methods of analyzing definitions of the digital economy, the results of practitioners, and their generalization. The author has stated the list of the primary tasks of regulating labor processes along with production processes, their formalization, prototyping and further digitization. The results obtained can be used for theoretical analysis and methodological development of programs and algorithms for digital transformation in manufacturing enterprises.
