At the regional automated sorting center of Russian Post, students from Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University and St. Petersburg State University of Economics defended a comprehensive project commissioned by the company.
Students of the following training programs took part in the work: Management, Quality Management, Personnel Management, as well as various levels of education – bachelor’s and master’s degrees. The responsible executor was the Higher School of Industrial Management of IPMET.
The diploma project is dedicated to the development of a set of measures aimed at improving the activities of Russian Post. Polytechnicians worked on issues in the field of improving logistics processes. A fourth-year student of the International Logistics program, Angelina Andreeva, presented a model for forming shipments and routing delivery to post offices. A second-year master’s student of the Quality Management at Enterprise program, Aleksey Mishchenko, presented a model for improving business processes based on the use of lean manufacturing tools. A fourth-year student of the St. Petersburg State University of Economics, Human Resources Management program, Yulia Koneva, proposed ways to adapt personnel for post offices.
The Polytechnic University was represented at the defense by the Head of the Directorate of Basic Educational Programs Nadezhda Grashchenko, the Head of the Center for Team Building and Project Solutions of the IPMEiT Yulia Akimova, the Director of the Higher School of Industrial Management Olga Kalinina, the Deputy Director of the Higher School of Industrial Management for Academic and Methodological Work Zoya Simakova and the students’ scientific supervisors — the Senior Lecturer of the Higher School of Industrial Management Yegor Temirgaliev, who was the main ideologist of the implementation of the student project, and Associate Professor of the Higher School of Service and Trade Boris Lyamin.
SPbGEU was represented by Vice-Rector for Educational Activities Veronika Shubaeva and Associate Professor of the Department of Sociology and Personnel Management Maria Gridneva.
The defense was attended by specialists from Russian Post: the head of the regional center for training and development, Aleksey Tsybulsky, the head of the St. Petersburg regional automated sorting center, Elena Lebedeva, and the head of the courier delivery management department, Anna Kraus.
The project turned out to be complex and unique. Firstly, it was carried out by order of a well-known large company, which already imposes certain obligations on the result. Secondly, it was implemented by students of different fields of study, which required a competent connection of identifying the problem and finding a common solution. Thirdly, students from two universities worked together. It was necessary to agree on the deadlines and requirements for completing final qualifying works, – said Vice-Rector for Educational Activities of SPbPU Lyudmila Pankova.
Following the defense, the experts highly rated the results obtained.
We will implement the ideas proposed by the students, which are very valuable. For example, they proposed ways to improve the formation of bulk shipments, how to adjust routes taking into account traffic in real time. The guys proposed simple, correct models, – shared Alexey Tsybulsky.
