Participation in productivity project helped RIAT almost double its efficiency

29 July 2021, Thursday

In 1992 in Naberezhnye Chelny (Tatarstan), the RIAT enterprise (Development and Production of Automotive Equipment) was established for prompt fulfilment of orders for KAMAZ special vehicles.

Today, RIAT is a reliable, well-adjusted mechanism capable of solving the most complex production and organisational tasks and an active participant in the Labour Productivity national project

In 2019, with the targeted support from the Regional Competence Centre of Tatarstan, a sample stream was created. In order to further improve productivity, additional investment was required and RIAT applied for a soft loan from the Industrial Development Fund at 1 per cent for 5 years. In late 2020, the Expert Council of the IDF approved the investment project of RIAT and allocated a loan of RUB 300 million under the Labour Productivity programme, for which the company will purchase equipment, organise production processes based on lean production principles and methods, and produce up to 2,000 various special vehicles, towed vehicles, special structures for automotive chassis and trailers per year. Together with RIAT’s own investment, the total budget of the project will amount to RUB 780 million. The loan funds will be used to purchase blanking, machining, welding, assembly, and painting equipment for production.
