Personnel Problems of the Military-Industrial Complex: Approaches to Solution

DOI: 10.33917/es-3.195.2024.138-143

The importance of considering this problem is due to the fact that with the beginning of a special military operation, the volume of state defence orders increased, which, in turn, entailed the need for new staff recruitment to enterprises.

However, having switched to an enhanced operating mode, enterprises of the defence-industrial complex faced the acute problem of a qualified personnel shortage. The undertaken analysis showed that unfavourable demographic situation in the country has a significant negative impact on the number of personnel in the labour market: the population under working age is declining, there is an evident decrease in the employees’ number in the age groups of 15-29 years and there is an outflow of young workers from enterprises as well. In addition, a serious problem for domestic enterprises is the low level of labour productivity, which also has a negative impact on solving problems of providing the required production volumes.

The author proposes a possible approach to solving this problem through active implementation of lean production methods at enterprises of the military-industrial complex.
