A pilot project to increase labor productivity has been implemented at OMUS-1.

Omsk Specialized Installation Department No. 1 has reduced the manufacturing time of metal structures by 34% thanks to the national Labor Productivity project. The implementation of the pilot project at the enterprise began in April 2021 under the management of the Regional Competence Center.

On October 21, the results of the 6 months of implementation of the labor productivity improvement program at the enterprise were summed up with the participation of managers, participants of the project working groups and experts of the RCC.

The Regional Competence Center was established on the basis of the Omsk Region Development and Investment Agency. The main objective of the Center is to provide targeted support to enterprises in the Omsk region that wish to increase productivity through the introduction of lean manufacturing tools. The activities of the RCC are carried out within the framework of the national project "Labor Productivity".

OMUS-1 JSC is one of the leading construction and installation companies in the Siberian region. The company is engaged in the construction, reconstruction and technical re-equipment of facilities in the Russian and foreign petrochemical, gas, pulp and paper and food industries.

"The project "Optimization of the metalwork manufacturing process" was chosen as the sample flow. The introduction of lean manufacturing tools has achieved the following results: process time has been reduced by 34%, production has increased by 114%," said Konstantin Kovalev, head of the RCC.

In addition, during the implementation of the pilot project, with the support of RCC experts at OMUS-1, a system of effective information centers was implemented, a tree of enterprise goals was built, maps of standardized operation and autonomous maintenance were developed, workstations using the 5C system were organized at the assembly site, and storage was organized in accordance with ABC analysis.

"OMUS-1 decided to become a participant in the national Labor Productivity project in order to develop production so that it would keep up with the competitive environment and increase productivity dynamics. During these six months of the pilot project, the output of the main products from production increased at the enterprise. I would also like to note that the warehouse has been effectively re-equipped: shelving, cleaning up excess space, and increasing free space. In the future, we have clear objectives for the implementation of the national project – an annual increase of 10% in final products. We will support the innovations introduced by the RCC specialists and the working group, and use lean manufacturing tools. We plan to purchase new equipment for workflow automation," said Andrey Hetman, Chief Engineer of OMUS-1.

It should be noted that the company will continue to independently implement lean manufacturing tools at other production sites in accordance with the three-year plan of the national Labor Productivity project.

The National Labor Productivity project was approved by the May decree of Russian President Vladimir Putin in 2018 and is designed to create conditions for an annual increase in labor productivity in the country by 5% by 2024. During the implementation of the national project in the Omsk region, more than 25 enterprises have become its participants.
