The Russian government has begun drafting a new strategy for the country’s socio-economic development. It should determine how to tackle the tasks set out in Vladimir Putin’s July Decree “On National Development Goals of Russian Federation until 2030”. National projects, including the Labour Productivity project, have also been adjusted as part of this work. Ilya Semin, Chairman of the Public Advisory Board of Labour Productivity national project and head of Professionals 2.0 ONF project, talked about innovations that came into force in 2021.
Lean manufacturing experts, when presenting the benefits of their work to business managers, often talk about an outsider’s view of processes that may have taken years to develop in a company, often in a haphazard way. When discussing productivity with experts and business leaders, digitalisation comes up first and foremost.
A prototype productivity ecosystem, as the Russian Ministry of Economic Development recently told us, is now being tested at the first seven enterprises. In essence, it is the “digital twin” of the FCC and RCC experts, which allows for remote business diagnostics. The platform will contain a system of virtual workstations for managers and employees to provide work in the following areas: training, enterprise research, change management, operational monitoring of business and production, sales and procurement. It is intended to be a good tool for business development.
