In the 1970s, several civilian factories received ASUs under direction of the OGAS team. Most of these efforts were carried out from the bottom up, although Glushkov and his team at the Institute of Cybernetics continued to seek and occasionally secure top-level support in the 1970s only to see it dissolve in committees convened by intermediary ministries. For example, Glushkov, with the support of the director of the S. O. Petrovskiy television plant, successfully developed in two years local control systems such as the L’viv System or Lviv MICS—an automated control system for streamlining the industrial processes in the Elektron television factory in L’viv, Ukraine. After completing the L’viv System, the team engineered a more complicated Kuntsevo system for planning and managing the resources of the Kuntsevo radio manufacturing plant in southwest Moscow.86 The Institute of Cybernetics also proposed an industrywide network of ASUs in the industry-rich Donbass region of Ukraine (figures 4.17 and 4.18).
