Introduction. This chapter considers the actuality importance of operational management of fire safety (FS) at facilities of the fuel and energy complex. The tools of strategic planning are proposed to assess of efficiency of the operational management of FS. The monitoring and analysis of volume of information are carried out by a decision maker (DM) using automated system of fire and explosion protection (ASFEP) is a part automated control system of technological process. The purpose of this article is described. It is the formation of system approaches to the analysis of changes in the efficiency of management of FS at facilities of the fuel and energy complex. To achieve this goal, mathematical modeling and analysis of the results are carried out. Methodology. The construction of model for assessing the quality of decision-making by DM on the management of FS is considered. The scheme of process of operational management is presented in the form of two-dimensional network structure. Parameters of management of FS (operands and condition) are reserved for this structure. So there are certain restrictions. Then type of dependence of number of the administrative apparatus on number of parameters of manual control is taken into account. The author describes the reasons for the deviations of decisions from the optimal. Such deviations are consequence of the decrease in the efficiency of FS management. The function of an efficiency index of the operational management of FS is entered for assessment of this decrease. Results. There is dependence of the work on the regulation procedures to ensure FS at facilities of the fuel and energy complex and of the value of an efficiency index of management. This dependence is justified. This dependence is illustrated in the form of curves. The equation of the generalized parameter of FS management is entered. Сorrelation of the value of an efficiency index and generalized parameter is determined the character of received curves. Conclusion. In summary it can be concluded that the personnel on duty shifts should correspond to the number of parameters of manual control, thereby ensuring the efficiency of the organization of FS management.
