Employees of the Institute of Industrial Management, Economics and Trade completed an internship at the production sites of the Obukhov Plant. They studied the application of lean manufacturing principles in the context of the military-industrial complex. The teachers also completed an internship at the Gazprom Corporate Institute, aimed at teaching digital transformation and corporate management.
In order to improve their qualifications and study the best practices of enterprises in the real sector of the economy, 12 teachers of the Higher School of Industrial Management completed a specialized internship at the production sites of the scientific and production association “North-West Regional Center of the Almaz-Antey Air Defense Concern – Obukhov Plant”. The emphasis was on the development of a lean manufacturing management system (Lean) at enterprises of the military-industrial complex (MIC).
The internship included a detailed introduction to real production processes in the key workshops of the enterprise: thermal and mechanical processing, galvanic and foundry, as well as other technological areas. The teachers immersed themselves in the specifics of applying lean manufacturing principles in the conditions of a high-tech defense enterprise.
The program covered several relevant areas:
lean manufacturing in logistics: optimization of internal material flows, organization of warehouse management and supply systems; labor standards and production organization: methods of analysis and optimization of work operations, increasing labor productivity based on the Lean approach; information technology in lean manufacturing: use of digital tools for visualization of flows, data analysis and process management.
The internship participants not only observed the work of the workshops, but also actively discussed with plant representatives specific cases and successful solutions in the field of implementation and development of the Lean system in the specific environment of the defense industry.
We learned how lean manufacturing principles are adapted and work in the highly responsible sphere of the military-industrial complex. Of particular interest were practical solutions in the field of Lean logistics and the use of IT for managing production flows. This experience is invaluable for further work on training personnel and developing educational programs that are as close as possible to the real needs of leading industrial enterprises, including the defense sector, – shared the head of the cluster of educational programs “Industry Management”, associate professor of the Higher School of Management Management Irina Bagaeva.
The internship was another step in strengthening the interaction between the Polytechnic University and the Obukhov Plant as an industrial partner. We see a real mutual enrichment of ideas and experience between our organizations. This is beneficial both in the educational activities of the university and in the production processes of the industrial enterprise, – said the head of the scientific and production association “North-West Regional Center of the Air Defense Concern “Almaz-Antey” – Obukhov Plant” Sergey Baushev.
In addition, the teachers of the Higher School of Management and Management completed an internship at the Gazprom Corporate Institute in the educational complex located in the innovative business space “Lakhta Center”. They studied one of the most relevant vectors of development of education and the economy – corporate training in the context of digital transformation and the introduction of information technology.
The event was organized and curated by specialists from the educational projects department of the Corporate Institute, headed by Deputy Director for Academic Affairs Vladislav Plotnikov. The program included a presentation of corporate approaches to training, a round table, and a question and answer session with representatives of the institute’s top management. The participants included teachers and specialists from the Higher School of Management and Management, involved in the development and implementation of educational programs related to the digital economy and the transformation of production management.
Internships of teachers at the Obukhov Plant and the Gazprom Corporate Institute are an important element of our institute’s interaction with the real sector of the economy. The systematic practice of internships allows teachers to form new professional competencies, master practical skills and knowledge of modern technologies and methods of work in production, and update educational programs to meet employers’ requests, commented Vladimir Shchepinin, Director of the IPMEiT.
