Omsk Rubber company is studying lean manufacturing tools

Omsk Rubber specialists undergo training at the Process Factory, where they gain knowledge about lean manufacturing tools and acquire the skill to find losses in production processes. Participants of the national Labor Productivity project are trained free of charge by certified trainers of the Regional Competence Center of the Omsk Region (hereinafter RCC).

It should be recalled that RCC operates on the basis of the Omsk Region Development and Investment Agency and works to increase the competitiveness of Russian goods and services, creating a culture of high productivity and efficiency among employees of organizations in the region.

At the Process Factory, training takes place based on modeling the assembly processes of the "Gas Pressure Regulator Control Panel". The production of this unit is a real production process. Employees are asked to assemble a certain number of products in a fixed time over three production shifts, between which they are taught the basic principles and methods of lean manufacturing.

"The training is designed in such a way that participants are fully immersed in practical activities, learn to see losses, formulate and analyze problems, balance processes and apply lean production tools in practice. This is a fully interactive learning format, in which there is no boring theory and long slides, but there is a lot of practice," said Maxim Shulgat, an expert at the RCC.

At the end of the third shift, the "manufacturers" achieve certain economic indicators: they receive the minimum cost and maximum profit due to increased production efficiency. After the training, each participant receives a certificate of completion of the training "Process Factory". Having gained new knowledge, specialists try to apply lean manufacturing tools to their work processes.

It should be noted that 60 enterprises are currently implementing the national project "Labor Productivity" in the Omsk region, more than 600 employees have been trained at the "Process Factory".
