Performance indicators

Height 239

Pipe welding workshop "Height 239" is the first project of the domestic "white metallurgy," a qualitatively new type of metallurgical industry based on innovations, the highest level of technologies, maximum automation of processes and fundamentally new working conditions. The unusual name of the new production is explained by the fact that 239 meters is the height of the geographical point where the new workshop is located, corresponding to the height of the southern part of the Ural Ridge above sea level. The workshop produces large diameter pipes for oil and gas pipelines. They are intended for use in the construction of trunk pipelines in offshore development areas, seismically active zones, permafrost areas, hard-to-reach areas, when laying underwater and offshore pipelines.

Through the application, a specialist, in cooperation with an "internal supplier" (an employee of another department - a lawyer, engineer, accountant, etc.), evaluates him according to the criteria of client centrism, which, together with consultants, were brought out during the strategic part of the work by ChelPipe Group employees. The result of all assessments forms the index of customer centrism of the company, a separate division of middle managers, and each employee and is placed on the Lifetime scoreboard where everyone in real time can see the "pulse" of customer centrism of the entire group.

"ChelPipe Group has launched a transformation program" Nomination "and is working on building a customer-centric business model. The key role in this is played by the level of cross-functional interaction. In the pilot version of "Karma White Metallurgist," only office workers are evaluated, there are only about 500 people. Further, the application will become a tool for the formation of client-centric behavior of all 25 thousand employees, "says Narine Fatykhova.
