Abstract: The purpose of the study is to create theoretical and methodological prerequisites for the design of a prototype digital twin of value chain management and new generation software products based on it. The results of the study include the sequence of the subject's influence on the objects of value chain management; classification of management objects and their coding methodology; a set of actual classification attributes and dichotomies of value chain management objects and the sequence of their use; and a typical algorithm for managing value chain objects as a prototype of the future structure of the desired digital twin. The obtained results allow to identify and model subjects and objects of value chain management, take into account their uniqueness and develop management decisions taking into account environmental factors, including countermeasures to competing value chains.

Keywords: management; chain; value; digital twin; module; demand; supply; scenario; qualitative attribute; dichotomy.
