Omsk enterprise introduces lean manufacturing tools

An expert from the Regional Competence Center trains employees of OMUS No. 1 in the basics of lean manufacturing. The training takes place as part of the implementation of the national Labor Productivity project at the enterprise.

Recall that in the Omsk region, more than two dozen companies have already applied for participation in the national project since 2020, 18 enterprises have received the official status of a participant in the national project by concluding an agreement with the regional Ministry of Economy. The Regional Center for Labor Productivity Competencies (RCC), created on the basis of the Agency for Development and Investment, is implementing a national project in the Omsk Region.

The training for employees was conducted by the head of the Regional Competence Center, certified trainer Anna Plisko. The company's employees got acquainted with the basics of lean manufacturing and the methodology for implementing its main tools. The training included not only the theoretical part, but also practical exercises that helped consolidate knowledge and acquire new skills.

So, as part of the training, the staff studied a lean manufacturing tool, the Spaghetti diagram.

"The Spaghetti diagram helps visualize unnecessary movements of people or objects. It is so called because when the trajectory of movement is applied to paper, something similar to tangled pasta is formed. This simple technique makes it possible to estimate local, temporal, and spatial losses. The graphical representation of the movement path allows you to look at the business process from above and determine the current state of affairs, as well as develop a new layout or trajectory of movements. The use of this diagram brings tremendous opportunities: reserves of time, human resources appear and space is freed up. This ultimately leads to increased productivity and profits," said Anna Plisko.

It should be recalled that OMUS No. 1 entered the national project this year and became the first production facility where RCC experts work independently. The participants of the enterprise's working group, together with the experts of the RCC, selected a pilot stream - a sample site for the production of metal structures. The process of the sample stream will be reviewed taking into account the increase in production, minimizing labor intensity and production time.

An enterprise from among the priority sectors can become a participant in the national project "Labor Productivity": manufacturing, agriculture, transport, trade, construction. To do this, you need to register on the productivity website.RF.
