Advertisement At the end of 2020, the economic effect from the implementation of the total production optimisation (TOP) programme at the key assets of the VGK amounted to over RUB 140 million. The introduced proposals allow extending the service life of equipment, increasing its manufacturer, optimising the algorithm of work processes, saving time and reducing costs. “We place a key emphasis on staff motivation, including on their participation in creating the optimal form of work. More than 1200 employees are involved in the programme for improving production processes using kaizen proposals. By offering their ideas, they not only affect the production process as a whole, but also the work of their subdivision,” explained Roman Katsay, Head of the Project for TOP at VGK.
