LOGISTICS OF ORGANIZATIONAL RESTRUCTURING OF VALUE CHAINS AND SUPPLY SYSTEMS FOR ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS IN RUSSIAN MICROELECTRONICS

Abstract

In this article, the author summarizes the conditions and factors limiting the potential for restructuring the logistics system of Russian microelectronics production and transitioning to a domestic electronic component base in the medium term. A technological lag and the lack of a domestic ecosystem of standard components determine the market choice of equipment assemblers, who purchase cheaper, physically and logistically accessible foreign processors and controllers with accessible support and documentation.

By more clearly defining the distinct industry-specific nature of developing technological independence programs in the electronics industry from a logistics perspective, the author demonstrates the difficulty of stimulating import substitution in a context where standard prohibitions and restrictions are insufficient in the absence of mass production. Achieving scale and competitive cost-effectiveness from scratch, in the absence of stable resource sources, effective MRP logistics, and sufficient market capacity, effectively precludes a breakthrough given the prevailing level of technological dependence. Building an end-to-end production and commercial cycle based on a domestic market and ecosystem becomes paramount.
