The production planning process has been revised. The entire company has implemented a system for submitting proposals and a system for the effective organization of the 5S workspace. Improvements have been implemented in terms of equipment handling. A plan has been developed to replicate lean tools to all areas.

In addition to financial results, team formation is very important for us. Thanks to the implementation of this project, we have a close-knit team with change leaders. It was very important for us to change the thinking of the staff, to identify hidden intellectual reserves. RCC specialists really "infected" employees with ideas of lean production, everyone got involved. If we take the reference packing area - we doubled the production and did not invest anything financially - we simply rearranged the equipment and redistributed operations on the site. This is very cool, - Pavel Gruzdev, General Director of Junior LLC, shared his impressions.

We formed a team of like-minded people at the plant, identified goals and development plans for 3 years - all this is the basis for continuous improvements and growth in the efficiency of the enterprise. I am sure that at the Junior we will soon see a lean approach in all processes, - said Ekaterina Tishchenko, project manager of the RCC of the Kaluga Region.
