Volgograd enterprises reduce losses and increase production

The gas supply company focuses on improving the maintenance of gas equipment in homes and apartments. The goal is to reduce process time by 20% and achieve productivity growth by 36.7%. To do this, employees were trained in key areas: lean production, mapping, organization of the working space, standardized work, rapid readjustment and autonomous maintenance of equipment. The organization already has a register of problems, a downtime accounting system and regular production monitoring.

In the company engaged in the provision of engineering services, the analysis for 3 months allowed to clearly identify the main sources of losses. These include long-term operations for obtaining and loading warehouse materials, searching for the earthing circuit, forced downtime due to lack of fuel, irrational logistics and shortage of components. Solving these issues will allow the company to reduce the time of execution of operations by 25% and increase output by 42%. As part of the transformations, a project office has already been created at the plant, production analysis has been introduced and adaptation of the 5C system on the sample site has begun.

The next step for both companies is to consolidate and replicate best practices. In the coming months, it is planned to certify our own instructors in lean production, create information centers and standardize processes at reference sites.

The goal of the federal project is to ensure an annual increase in labor productivity by at least 5% at medium and large enterprises of the basic non-resource industries. You can apply for participation on the IT platform “productivity.rf”.
