They told how to behave when getting into a problematic situation, how to apply lean tools and optimize the process, and also suggested ways to solve the problem.

Svetlana Kuzmina, director of INPROTECH, head of department at ETU «LETI»:

In modern enterprises, where every minute and every resource is valuable, effective process management is becoming a necessity. To achieve maximum productivity, it is important to understand and eliminate various types of losses that arise during the work process. Loss is any activity that consumes resources (time, materials, money), but does not create value for the consumer. There are seven types: overproduction, waiting, unnecessary transportation, excessive processing, excess stock, defective products and unnecessary movements.

As Ksenia Machulskaya emphasized, with the correct organization and optimization of these processes, an enterprise can significantly increase its productivity, reduce costs and improve competitiveness in the market.

The International Conference on Quality Management, Transport and Information Security and Information Technology will end on September 26.
