ASML Statement on Strengthening Focus on Engineering and Innovation (Category Engineering)

Interesting. news from **ASML, whose lithographers all chip makers want. So ASML suddenly found that it had become less agile.**The processes have become more complicated, the speed has dropped, the matrix organizational structure has begun to interfere with engineering and it is time to take action.

If you translate from corporate, you can read this letter like this.
- Matrix structure no longer takes out Too many intersections, approvals and “it’s not clear who owns the result”

• We want a product-oriented model. Clear product lines, end-to-end ownership, less smeared responsibility
• Processes became “less agile” For a company that lives at R&D speed, it's almost a diagnosis.

As a result, the guys decided to reduce unnecessary levels of management and dismiss 1.7K of employees, which I read is something like, "I think we have too many people running the people who run the processes." It will be interesting to see how this transformation goes.
