On October 1, a meeting was held at the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Tatarstan dedicated to the implementation of the regional project entitled “Targeted Support for Raising Labour Productivity in Enterprises of Tatarstan” (part of the Labour Productivity and Employment Support national project).

The meeting, chaired by Deputy Minister Almaz Khusainov, was held with the participation of representatives from the Tatarstan Centre for Energy Saving Technologies (a regional competence entity), the Ministry of Labour, Employment, and Social Security of Tatarstan, as well as republic’s enterprises participating in measures to increase labour productivity. In addition, the meeting was attended by organisations standing as potential co-executors of the national project. The main function of such “consultants” is to work together with enterprises in order to create a model stream for its further replication to the entire production process.

The work of consultants is free of charge for the enterprise. Payments will be made at the expense of the federal budget.

The meeting aroused great interest from enterprises, whose representatives were able to ask questions of their interest: for example, about the opportunities of participation in such educational programmes as “Exports Growth Accelerator” and “Productivity Leaders”, receiving subsidies for retraining and professional development of employees, etc.

Today, Minister Karimov held a working meeting with representatives of Longlat, an IT company.

Longlat is a new company that offers complete solutions for the digitalisation of production processes. Noting the relevance of these developments, the minister said: “Our task is to track such digitalisation proposals arising in the domestic market. And it is equally important for us to study the joint experience of your company and those enterprises that already work with you.”

The main company’s product is the LPanel integrated electronic system.

LPanel was designed to manage all production activities through a single programme. Owing to the product, the manager has the ability to control and analyse the ongoing work processes in real time.

The system helps to increase productivity of employees by 20%-40% and to reduce the time to complete tasks at least 2 times. The product focuses not only on the managerial aspects of production, but also on the psychological side of the work.

LPanel generates a summary report on all company’s activities, predicts production costs, and recommends payment levels for employees based on their work.

Much attention is also paid to company’s security by creating a video analytics system.

Enterprises from Tatarstan have every opportunity to become the locomotives of the Russian economy’s growth. This opinion was expressed by Director General of the Federal Competence Centre for Labour Productivity Nikolay Solomon.

“Since 2011, we have been implementing a programme to increase labour productivity in the republic,” said Minister of Industry and Trade of Tatarstan Albert Karimov at a workshop for implementing the national project in the republic. “This area is the main resource for achieving the objective that is indicated in the Strategy 2030. Tatarstan should become a globally competitive region. It is high labour productivity that is the main indicator for the competitiveness of our economy. Today, this task has been brought to the national priority level by decree of the President of Russia.”

The republic joined the national project in 2017. It is planned that over the next five years, lean manufacturing tools will be mastered by 351 companies.

The productivity.rf site has already received 70 applications. Participation in the project is open for organisations from 5 non-resource sectors, such as manufacturing, agriculture, construction, transportation and storage, as well as utilities. Various government support measures would help them to reach a qualitatively new level, while an increase in labour productivity would improve the welfare of the inhabitants in Tatarstan.
