A seminar on the implementation of lean manufacturing tools among small business enterprises was held today in the regional Congress Hall. Experts from the Federal and Regional Competence Centers spoke about targeted support for enterprises, the implementation of the national project "Labor Productivity", and best practices in the Omsk Region and other regions.
Recall that the Omsk region has been implementing the national project since 2020. During this time, experts from the FCC and the RCC have provided support to 52 enterprises in the region. Thus, by the end of 2022, due to the use of various lean manufacturing techniques, staff production increased by 50%, process running time decreased by 34%, and work-in-progress decreased by 40%.
Yevgeny Skoptsev, Senior Project Manager for the Macroregion No. 1 of the FCC, delivered a speech during the seminar. The expert shared the success of lean manufacturing projects in small and medium-sized businesses, and also spoke in detail about the main criteria for participation in the project. "An enterprise must necessarily meet the following parameters:: the company's revenue ranges from 400 million rubles to 30 billion rubles per year; the potential to increase labor productivity by at least 10%; the company's relationship to one of the priority industries, namely manufacturing, agriculture, transport, construction, trade."
Maxim Shulgat, the head of the RCC project in the field of labor productivity, spoke to the participants of the seminar, who spoke about the practice of transferring skills in using lean manufacturing tools. Maxim spoke about how, by whom and with what help the national project "Labor Productivity" is being implemented, and what exactly it can give to Omsk business.
"The main goal of the project is to increase the growth rate of labor productivity in enterprises of basic non-resource industries. Companies that join the national project get certain results: reduction of production costs, reduction of the level of defective production and office processes, increase the workload of personnel and equipment. A big advantage for the participants of the national project is the training and production site "Factory of Production Processes" and "Factory of Office Processes", where managers and employees of enterprises can learn how to use lean manufacturing tools in practice and implement them into work processes," said Maxim Shulgat, project manager.
It should be noted that any manufacturing company that meets the selection criteria can become a participant in the national project free of charge. Participation in the national project "Labor Productivity" will optimize production and office processes using lean manufacturing tools in order to create sample streams; train employees on the production site and train instructors for subsequent knowledge transfer; prepare managers and employees for the transformation of production culture; receive a loan under the program "Labor Productivity Improvement" at 1% per annum from the Industrial Development Fund.
