Thanks to the national project "Labor Productivity", the Omsk Food company has reduced the loading time of liner bags by 20 %

The Omsk Food Company has completed the implementation of the federal project "Targeted support for increasing productivity at enterprises" with the support of the Regional Center for Competence in the field of labor Productivity. For six months, RCC experts, together with a working group established at the enterprise, have been implementing lean technology tools.

It should be recalled that the company started implementing the national project "Labor Productivity" in September 2021. The company provides a complete technological process for the preservation, storage and transportation of grain crops. The sample flow selected a site for optimizing the process of receiving raw materials and shipping. To do this, the company uses liner bags, which are a polypropylene liner that follows the contours of a cargo container. They protect the transported goods from contact with the inner surface of the containers.

"The working group, together with a specialist from RCC, developed a tree of goals and key performance indicators, and the company's employees were trained on topics such as: "Fundamentals of Lean Manufacturing," "Implementation of an improvement project," "Mapping," "5C in Production," and "Standardized Work." The company managed to reduce the number of defective liner bags from 13 to 2, and as a result, the manufacture of defective products was reduced by 85%, and the loading time of liner bags by 20%. There are many more examples, but I want to emphasize that the results obtained were made possible thanks to the involvement of the entire team in the improvement process: from management to workers, as well as the support of RCC specialists," said Eduard Akhmetzyanov, General Director of Omsk Food, who shared the results of six months of work at the enterprise.

Denis Kushner, First Deputy Minister of Economy of the Omsk Region, highly appreciated the joint work of the Regional Competence Center and the Omsk enterprise. "I am sure that by your example you will encourage other Omsk enterprises to participate in the national project. A lot of work has been done and it is important that it is a team effort. Participate in the Best Mentoring Practices competition, take advantage of free educational programs from the Federal Competence Center, and continue to replicate successful experiences using lean manufacturing tools in other areas of your workflow."

The Regional Center of competence in the field of labor productivity invites Omsk business to participate in the national project. Enterprises in the region of the basic non-resource industry, including trade, with annual revenue of at least 400 million rubles, can become participants.
