The Regional Competence Center of the Omsk region has successfully passed the certification of federal experts

In the period from November 25 to November 26, 2021, the Regional Center of Competence in the field of labor productivity of the Omsk Region (hereinafter RCC) successfully passed the certification of the Federal Center of Competence within the framework of the national project "Labor Productivity". The certification confirms the high level of professionalism of the staff, the competent application of FCC methods and the well-coordinated work of the team.

The certification commission included representatives of the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation, experts from the Federal Competence Center, heads of the RCC of the Primorsky Territory and the Voronezh Region, as well as representatives of executive authorities from other regions.

The certification procedure took place in two stages. The activities of the RCC were evaluated according to a number of criteria, both remotely and in person — with visits to enterprises that are involved in the implementation of the national project.

At the remote stage, the fulfillment of the set goals, the deadlines for the implementation of projects, the quality of their management and monitoring were checked. At the face-to-face stage, the results of projects at participating enterprises were checked, and how the work and internal processes of the RCC itself were organized.

Thus, the expert commission assessed the results of the transformations at the flow, a sample of the production of metal structures at OMUS-1, where the project was completed at the end of October this year. Participation in the national Labor Productivity project allowed the company to increase the production of metal structures from 46 to 122 tons per month. In the remaining 2.5 years, the company will replicate the experience gained in implementing lean manufacturing tools to other production sites.

The Commission reviewed the first results at one of the largest flour milling enterprises in Siberia, LLC MELKOM-OMSK, where the implementation of the national project began in September. The experts were able to note the high level of organization of the workspace using the 5C system.

During the working visit, the FCC specialists assessed the activities of the Process Factory training and production site, which is located on the basis of the Omsk Region Development and Investment Agency, and training activities at the regional competence center. The project manager of the Center conducted trainings for experts on the following topics: "Fundamentals of lean manufacturing", "5C" and "Production Analysis".

"The value of certification for the regional Competence Center lies primarily in an expert view of our work and receiving feedback. We will definitely take into account the comments of the experts, draw conclusions, and by the next certification, I am sure we will show a higher level. Currently, projects managed by experts from the regional Competence Center are being implemented at the enterprises of LLC MELKOM-OMSK, LLC Omsk Food and LLC Siberian Sausages. In December, new enterprises, LLC Omsk Siding Invest and LLC PC Metallinvest, will begin implementing the national project. Since the start of the "Process Factory", more than 80 people have already been trained. These figures indicate the well-coordinated work of not only the Center's specialists, but also the significant support of the regional Ministry of Economy," said Evgeny Kovtun, Director General of the Omsk Region Development and Investment Agency.

Currently, 27 enterprises in the Omsk Region have already joined the national Labor Productivity project. By 2024, the project should include almost 200 Omsk companies.

For reference: the national project "Labor Productivity" is aimed at ensuring labor productivity growth in medium and large enterprises of basic non-resource sectors of the economy. RCC experts introduce lean technologies at enterprises for free, train their employees: in theory and in practice, they show how to find hidden reserves and transfer them to assets. This helps to increase the efficiency, profits and competitiveness of Omsk region companies not only in Russia, but also abroad.
