Digital Transformation of Kazakhstan’s Industry: Designing a Management Mechanism Based on DEA and a Digital Platform

Abstract

In this research we focuse on developing an organizational and technical mechanism for managing industrial enterprises in the context of digital transformation in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The quantitative analysis is based on the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method, which assesses the relative efficiency of enterprises based on digital transformation input indicators and economic output results. The main digital factors influencing profit growth and production volumes were identified. The results demonstrate significant differences in efficiency due to the quality of digital infrastructure and the level of business process automation. Based on an analysis of the practices of the Kazakh-German enterprise Boehmer Armatura LLP and the principles of system design, a digital platform structure has been proposed that uses the TOGAF architectural model to remotely manage the operation of an industrial enterprise. An organizational and technical mechanism of industrial enterprise management in the context of digital transformation has been developed based on theoretical analysis, empirical data obtained from studying Boehmer Armatura LLP’s activities, and the results of a quantitative assessment. This mechanism focuses on effectively integrating digital technologies into production and management processes. It includes a set of technical and organizational levers that ensure feedback availability and contribute to continuously improving processes and increasing the effectiveness of applying digital resources.
