‘VSMPO-AVISMA Corporation has been trying to implement lean practices (targeted at cutting production costs and making the company’s performance more effective) as well as ISO tips for quite a while now. We’ve got good results in some departments, but you wouldn’t say we’ve been using lean practices to their full potential,’ Effectiveness Enhancement Director of VSMPO-AVISMA Corporation Nikolai Kondratenko said to UrBC representative.

‘We naturally do succeed in some projects; in most cases, however, achieving tangible results requires involving a large number of experts, some of whom yet need to be trained,’ Mr Kondratenko noted.
