Kalashnikov built the largest Lean laboratory in the Russian Federation

The Kalashnikov company has opened the largest Lean-processes laboratory in the Russian Federation, which “will allow to speed up the development and introduction of rationalization proposals, as well as advanced management methods at all levels of activity,” the holding said on its website Rosteh. Kalashnikov’s investments in the project amounted to 20 million rubles.

“The construction of the process laboratory was carried out taking into account the experience of the leading companies in the world and using the latest information technologies and innovative solutions. Three thousand employees per year will be trained here. - noted at the opening ceremony the general director of the Kalashnikov concern, Alexey Krivoruchko. - Now we have a new tool that will speed up the development of the production system and the competences of the company's employees for the transition to high-tech production. This transformation is today the main task for the entire team of the enterprise. ”

The laboratory consists of 8-modular zones with a total area of ​​650 square. m. It fully simulates "full-fledged production, including the areas of assembly and machining production, warehouse logistics." There are also classes of “theoretical training and visual management of production analysis, mapping of office processes, labor protection, Kaizen and 5C processes,” the press service said.

It is noted that "the technical equipment of the laboratory will allow in practice to study more than 30 key technological processes in various areas of development of the production system of the enterprise."

According to the press service, the concern’s management plans, up to 2020, “to increase labor productivity fourfold, cut production costs and working capital by half, and speed up the development and launch of new products four times”.

Kalashnikov built the largest Lean laboratory in Russia
Only one thing is clear from this phrase: the money has been spent successfully, cleaned up.
A little familiar with this whole innovative crap, I’ll say that Lean (Lean) is not a ready-made implementation product, but a set of recommendations and subjective assessments.
In particular, there is a clause on the exclusion from the product of functions unnecessary to the user.
Question:
a) who will decide what is needed and what is not needed by the user.
b) users - they are different - one needs, the second does not, and the third does not care, but to be.

And - the laboratory is good, but what about production? You can also introduce Lean there.

[Wlad]

You yourself answered your own question. The one who releases the product will decide! And the quality issue is not worth it. The main thing is to convince the consumer that he should buy your product as often as possible. Every month, every month you can buy new smartphones, the machine is designed for three years, and a loaf of bread in the store already reaches 250 grams with the same dimensions as in the Union. But they decided for us that this is exactly what we need

Look at the photo. And does it cost 20 lyamas? Yes, do not tell.

New laboratories - work for the future, creating a system of cheap, fast, efficient weapons development, and production already exists. I don’t understand what doesn’t suit - frugality? Ask the employees of car factories how many unnecessary expenses they managed to eliminate with the introduction of lin-production. The subjectivity of the ratings is not like? So at the plants the main customer of Moscow Region, the next is the market. If the product would not suit you, would you buy it?

- And then! That’s why the split with managerial techniques has been going on since the beginning of the 20th century!

Basic theories appeared before the First World War. And away we go ...

[gridasov]

And these basic theories will not exist because. that the new basic theories are preceded by even more fundamental foundations. Their essence lies in the fact that new mathematical methods of analysis are needed for high-volume and dynamically changing processes. Moreover, the analysis should be carried out not on the basis of subjective assessment methods, but taking into account the entire set of changing events. And here is the catch, that on a variable function of a number, such high-potential processes cannot be calculated or analyzed, at least taking into account all the obvious and not obvious factors of influence. There is no mathematical basis and there is no understanding of physics. So that all this remains a semblance of "pushing water in a mortar"

What are you going to improve? AK conveyor production, which for decades has been operating as AK itself? But is it necessary to climb into an already well-functioning mechanism?

[Wlad]

Yeah ... Increase four times, reduce two times, accelerate four times ... Or maybe we have enough ISO 9000 and other nonsense, for which we have optimized so much that we can’t rake it ... They didn’t even start raking it. Now the military has also turned into managers. Oh no, not the managers! In teacher managers !!! Wake me up...

Maybe this is something necessary, I will not argue, due to the lack of knowledge in this area, but the phrase to which I paid attention immediately alerted. I apologize to my colleagues for their tactlessness, but it smells like red ginger and ladies, and these two unfortunately can’t stir up anything worthwhile by definition.

Any serious production requires not only qualified assemblers, turners, millers, etc. but also heads of shops, foremen, foremen of sections, storekeepers, finally. Production efficiency largely depends on their invisible at first glance. To manage production, you need to understand it. This is what distinguishes managers i.e. managers from "effective managers". If young people who have completed training and practice in the institution described in the article begin to come to the production of the Kalashnikov company, then they will be able to fit into the team and start working in full force much faster than just from the street. And they will make a lot of proposals for optimization, acceleration, improvement of production processes. And if "Kalashnikov" swung at full-fledged GAP (flexible automated production), then without "... the development and implementation of rationalization proposals, as well as advanced management methods at all levels of activity ..."

- I’ll insert my 3 pennies: all these techniques are the style of the Western approach - decompose the process into molecules and then stupidly follow the code.
However, attempts to decompose the creative process (and laboratories are called upon to search for unknown paths) are impossible a priori - otherwise this very creative process is lost.

All the successes of the West are based on three pillars: geniuses-inventors, industrial espionage and the evolutionary development of technology.

So geniuses are not enough for them now. Here and pulled from around the world. Although the other two components are well-honed.

Have you ever wondered why there are so many talented scientists and inventors from Russia in the West?
This is from there, where so far are all these super-duper technologies (in general) really not implemented?

The genius of invention - the discovery of the unknown does not tolerate frames and patterns.

I am not against the introduction of advanced management systems - the main thing is not to overdo it and not shove them where they are not needed.

Konstantin. The article, as I understand it, is about creating a large center in the Russian Federation for the practical training of lower and middle managers, with instilling in them the ability to positively influence technical processes, rationalize and flexibly change them. This is good news. After all, in our country, for the most part, a manager (not to be confused with an "effective manager") has been growing for 5-10 years. And after the same period, he begins his positive influence on production. This is a long time given the current shortage of personnel. And the article does not talk about copying the Western approach. The creative process has been and remains. Unfortunately, our area of ​​production optimization is an unplowed field.

Let it be known to you that the origins of the scientific organization of labor were Aleksey Kapitonovich Gastev, director of CIT, the central institute of labor, who, as early as 24, had published a textbook on the organization of the workplace. The Japanese called it 5S.

“Four times increase labor productivity, halve the cost of production and working capital, and also four times accelerate the development and launch of new products on the market.”
It seems to me that these are overstated figures for such a deeply developed product as "Kalashnikov". If something new, then yes. But the forward movement in our defense industry is too obvious and there is no need to expect anything breakthrough. Therefore, I think the figure is too high. For training personnel, such a technology can be very much in demand, especially since by modern standards of the concern it costs mere pennies.

[Makarov]

but you can’t write in Russian?

[Laksamana besar]

Already in 2012 of the year, a process simulation factory has been operating in Kamaz, borrowed from Daimler. They train, improve their qualifications in all areas of their specificity (production, logistics, management, etc., etc.), i.e. training specialists on their own. With the initiative of Kalashnikov!

The history of the creation of the factory of processes originates from the strategic partner of KAMAZ OJSC - the company Daimler. Like most foreign companies, Daimler's lean principles have long been built into the existing system. The company is constantly evolving, improving its processes: training is being conducted, a methodology is being developed and updated. Theoretical training without practical and immediate application of knowledge is ineffective, at the same time, mass training is impossible at the production site. So once Daimler realized the need for mass training of employees with methods that are accessible and clearly demonstrate the work and effectiveness of lean. Soon, the first Daimler Process Simulation Factory in Mannheim was launched. McKinsey specialists took part in the creation of the first Factory and in the development of the training concept. But, as you know, Daimler factories are scattered around the world (America, Asia, Europe), which caused obvious inconvenience in training specialists located outside of Europe. There was a need for the organization of such factories in remote factories of the company. There are four Daimler process simulation factories: in Germany, Turkey and South America, from the middle of 2013 in Russia.

The methodological content of different lean laboratories varies significantly, both in the amount of information, the number of trainings and areas of study, and in the degree of involvement in practical classes of students and the depth of presentation of the material. The main criterion for the difference is the goals set for the lean laboratory. It is the goals that determine who, what and to what extent it is necessary to teach. Professional training and educational programs are always calculated for specific goals and objectives. It makes no sense to take the training designed to train assembly craftsmen and conduct it for office workers. The example is exaggerated, but the practice of coaching has proved that it is important to understand who and what we are teaching.
