Organization of Supply Chains for Electronic Component Base in Modern Industry

The system of supply chains of the electronic component base (ECB) has turned out to be a determining factor in the competitiveness of the modern industry. The topicality of the present research is in the increased susceptibility of the European supply networks due to global shortages of semiconductors, geopolitical turmoil, and logistical backlog in 2022-2024. The study will establish the impact of structural reasons and resilience strategies on the performance of the ECB supply chain in the United Kingdom, Germany, Poland, Hungary, and Spain. The methodology involves the usage of panel econometric models based on secondary data on the sources of UN Comtrade, Eurostat, the World Bank, WTO and OECD. Determinants of supplier lead times are determined by using fixed-effects regressions, and the likelihood of supply disruption is estimated using logistic models. The variables that are estimated to affect the explained variables are concentrate of suppliers, distance, customs delays, tariffs and geopolitical risk, and resilience mechanism of dual-sourcing, inventory buffers, nearshoring and digital integration (EDI/IoT adoption). The findings indicate that supplier concentration is a significant factor that raises lead times (0.15 -0.24 among countries) as well as disruption possibilities (odds ratios 1.29-1.47).
