The article considers the issues of forming a more effective structure of the Ministry of Civil Defense, Emergencies and Elimination of Consequences of Natural Disasters in planning and implementing measures to ensure fire safety at economic facilities by creating knowledge-intensive organizational structures capable of meeting the interests of the state, specialists in the subject area and business communities in choosing highly professional alternatives to the works and services offered on the market. Objective. The main objective of the work is to build a mechanism that facilitates the solution of the tasks set before the control and supervisory bodies of the emergency department to reduce potential threats and damage from possible fires at facilities for various purposes. To develop this mechanism, the authors propose to consider the possibility of synthesizing a specialized structure in the governing bodies and territorial divisions of the federal state fire supervision – competence centers of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia in the field of ensuring fire safety. Methods. The study presents a systematic approach to the implementation of the principles of organizational design of structural divisions of territorial bodies of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia, which allows creating new high-quality mechanisms for ensuring fire safety of capital construction projects, taking into account the provision of a set of variable solutions to the copyright holders of these objects on the principles of customer focus and consistency. Results. The analysis of the need to implement competence centers of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia, a list of tasks facing them and the main functions of the proposed structures is carried out. A mathematical description, a simplified algorithm for the interaction of elements of the decision-making support system in matters of ensuring fire safety using competence centers and the architecture of the proposed information software product are also presented. The authors propose an approach to improving the process of forming the organizational structure of these divisions by modernizing management tools for ensuring fire safety, as well as project management by forming competence centers of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia in the field of fire protection of economic entities. Conclusion. The synthesis of competence centers of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia in the field of ensuring fire safety can be an important step towards forming a more effective system of ensuring fire safety in specific regions and in the Russian Federation as a whole.
