Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Industry and Trade of Tatarstan Albert Karimov visited a Process Factory that was created within the framework of the Increasing Labour Productivity and Supporting Employment national project.
The Process Factory is a training production site where participants gain practical experience in real production processes in the use of lean manufacturing and production optimisation tools, as well as understand how improvements affect the operational and economic performance of production.
In lean manufacturing, the process is organised in such a way as to ensure the optimal arrangement of equipment and the sequence of raw materials and feedstock passing through it in order to minimise the time and money spent on manufacturing products.
The Process Factory was created on the basis of the Tatarstan’s Regional Centre of Competence in Labour Productivity (Centre for Energy-Saving Technologies of Tatarstan under the Tatarstan Cabinet of Ministers)) and passed certification by the Federal Centre of Competence in the Field of Labour Productivity on July 30, 2020.
The objective of the Increasing Labour Productivity national project is to ensure, by 2024, the growth rate of labour productivity at midsize and large enterprises in the basic non-resource sectors of the economy to at least 5% per year.
