Abstract
<jats:p>The article analyzes the organizational structure of the information technology sector of JSC Scientific-Production Enterprise Specelectromechanika; compiles and considers the general organizational structure of the IT sector of JSC Scientific-Production Enterprise Specelectromechanika. The work substantiates its classification as a linear type with a clearly defined hierarchy with periodic transformation into a matrix when performing specific software development and integration works for automated process control systems (APCS). The authors have established that the imbalance of qualified personnel between the development and integration departments leads to an increase in coordination costs and a decrease in the work quality at all stages of software development and implementation. Mechanisms for evaluating the organizational structure based on two criteria are proposed: the maximum load on the manager and the total management costs of the entire management hierarchy. The work formulates a minimax problem of choosing the optimal management hierarchy; carries out an analysis of distributing aggregated information interaction flows between employees, as well as management costs; proposes the structure optimization by including senior engineers in the management hierarchy. Based on expert data, calculations are made, which, despite the expansion of the management network, show a reduction in total costs and a decrease in the maximum load for the proposed structure. The results confirm the expediency of transitioning to a multi-level model and the effectiveness of distributing intensive flows at the lower levels of the hierarchy.</jats:p>
