Omsk Metalwork Plant "Most" continues its training at the "Process Factory"

Today, the next training of the working group of employees of the Most Metal Structures plant took place at the Process Factory training and production site. Omsk-based Most enterprise has been implementing lean technologies in production as part of the national Labor Productivity project since July 2021.

It should be recalled that the company has become the second in the region to receive expanded support from the Federal Competence Center. ZMK Most LLC is one of the largest factories for the production and installation of metal structures in Russia.

The training was conducted by certified trainers from the Regional Competence Center (RCC) as part of the regional project "Targeted support for productivity improvement at enterprises." The RCC operates on the basis of the Omsk Region Development and Investment Agency.

So, today, using the example of the assembly process of a real product (the gas pressure regulator control panel), the company's employees gain practical skills in optimizing production processes, assess the impact of implemented changes on operational and financial performance, including process time, product cost, defects and labor costs.

Note that the training consists of simulating three work shifts. The task of the first shift is to demonstrate inefficient and unprofitable production. During the second and third shifts, participants put lean manufacturing tools into practice, thereby obtaining a stable and efficient process that brings profit to the company. To identify problems and identify areas requiring improvement, students gather for production meetings after each shift, where each participant can offer their own optimization idea.

The Process Factory helps to set up production processes. In their daily work, this gives specialists an understanding of the correct formation of production flows, identification and reduction of production losses, optimization of logistics, cost reduction and improvement of product quality," said Konstantin Kovalev, head of the RCC.

Heads of Omsk enterprises can apply for participation in the national project on the productivity portal.The national project is aimed at companies in basic non-resource sectors of the economy with revenues starting from 400 million rubles.
