Improvement proposals examples in electricity agricultural production. The improvement proposals of Belgorod energy engineers are included in the register of improvement proposals of IDGC of Center PJSC. What could be the rationalization proposals?

The rationalization movement of IDGC of Center and Volga Region PJSC was revived with renewed vigor in 2008, and in connection with the “Year of the Engineer” it received a new impetus. The main goals of rationalization activities at IDGC of Center and Volga Region were the activation and further development of mass technical creativity of workers as one of the conditions innovative development companies.

Today, IDGC of Center and Volga Region PJSC registers about one hundred technical proposals per year. Proposals recognized as rationalization are applied in production activities branches of authorship; at least 10 percent of them are replicated annually in the energy company. Statistical analysis showed that more than 90 percent of proposals are made by representatives production personnel. Rationalization is most common among managers and engineering and technical workers with higher education. professional education, middle-aged, with professional experience and knowledge.

As Igor Taranov, deputy chief engineer of IDGC of Center and Volga Region PJSC for development and innovation, said, the most popular area of rationalization activity for the company is ensuring reliability, safety and increasing the productivity of the production process.

The leaders in the number of accepted and implemented rationalization proposals at IDGC of Center and Volga Region PJSC over all the years of rationalization activities with individual and collective participation were three employees of the company’s branches.

Engineer of the 2nd category of the relay protection, automation and metrology service of the Vladimirsky production department Electricity of the net" of the Vladimirenergo branch, Alexey Tretyakov (pictured) proposed eight developments, including the invention of a flashlight with a magnetic mount and electronic dialing, which increases the safety of work in relay compartments of substations with the possibility of use in places with high background noise, and an attachment - a high-frequency amplifier signal, allowing you to configure, check and troubleshoot RF protection equipment.

The author of seven developments was an engineer of the 2nd service category information technologies production department "Northern Electric Networks" branch "Kirovenergo" Vladimir Chernov. The “Electronic Load” device he developed is used as a load device for control discharges of batteries, as well as for testing various DC power sources, improving the quality of work and ease of use. Another invention of Vladimir, “Meter of equivalent series resistance of electrolytic capacitors,” speeds up and simplifies the process of diagnosing faults in communications, telemechanics and computer equipment.

Dmitry Dudin, head of the substation service of the Sernur Electric Networks production department of the Marienergo branch, is the author of five developments. The special container he proposed for preparing a mixture of antioxidant additives such as “Ionol”, “Agidol” accelerates the production of a homogeneous mixture in order to add the resulting liquid to oil-filled equipment to improve dielectric characteristics and extend the service life of transformer oil. The modernization of the VG type vibrograph, invented by Dmitry, improved the recording of time and speed characteristics on MV-35kV of all types in order to obtain accurate data and increase safety when taking characteristics from oil switches.

The company places emphasis not only on successful daily work, but also on the creative potential of the team. The desire to stimulate involvement in the process of mass technical creativity more employees and increase the percentage of replication led to the fact that IDGC of Center and Volga Region introduced a procedure for remunerating authors based on the results of replication of innovative developments: depending on the scale and effect of introducing an innovation, the author receives a bonus. To inform staff about innovation developments, a single register everyone technical solutions, posted on a publicly accessible internal company resource.

Wanting to popularize the innovation movement among young professionals, expand the areas of innovation proposals and improve the conditions for the influx of new ideas, IDGC of Center and Volga Region PJSC announced the start of the first stage of the “Best Innovator Engineer” competition.

Employees of branches and teams of authors of the energy company can submit applications for participation in the competition until June 30, 2017. The application is accepted if there is a submitted application for an improvement proposal in accordance with STO 01‑036‑2016.

The company is confident that if you take a broader look at the world and fill your daily work with new ideas, you can benefit not only your colleagues, but also the company as a whole!

Inventions, innovation proposals, and utility models are of great importance in the process of improving the technologies used. All of them act as objects of technical creativity. However, the most widespread of them are rationalization proposals. In an enterprise striving for the most effective achievement of its goals, they are by no means the least important. Let us consider this category in more detail below.

Positive points

Thanks to the rationalization proposal, an existing technical solution can be improved, the equipment used can be modernized and adapted to certain production conditions. In addition, with the help of such implementations, it becomes possible to eliminate certain errors of designers or constructors. According to data provided in specialized publications, rationalization proposals have recently provided about 70% of the total savings in the Russian economic system.

Definition

In the previous provision, a rationalization proposal was a technical solution that was useful and new for the production, institution or organization to which it was directed. It involved changing technology, the design of products or equipment, and the composition of the material. In addition, certain types of decisions were given that belonged to the category under consideration.

According to this provision, the rationalization proposal had such characteristics as usefulness, novelty and technical solution. In current recommendations, the definition is given in a slightly modified form. In particular, a rationalization proposal is a managerial, organizational or technical solution that is recognized as useful and new for a given structure. From the definition it is clear that only the first part has changed. Thus, the rationalization proposal is no longer limited exclusively to the area technical methods solutions to current practical problems.

Characteristic

First of all, it should be noted that the proposal, which is submitted as a rationalization proposal, should not simply pose any task. Through it, it is necessary to reveal specific ways to solve the problem. A situation should be created in which, thanks to a rationalization proposal, it would be possible to obtain the expected result with maximum efficiency and with the least losses. Decisions that merely state a need, limit themselves to indicating the advisability of carrying out a particular event or the positive result that can be achieved during its implementation, and so on, will not be recognized as useful and new.

Rationalization proposals, examples of which will be given below, include a fundamental answer. The solution should be so specific that there is no need to make any guesses or assumptions. The proposal reveals the essence of the author's idea, and its execution does not require additional creative modifications. This condition will be considered fulfilled if the solution and materials explaining it contain sufficient information for the practical implementation of the plan using known design (construction) methods.

Methods of execution

Providing a solution to a problem can be carried out using managerial, organizational, technical means or a combination of them. Among technical proposals, the predominant ones are those that relate to design changes in products, production technologies, equipment used, or material composition. Such solutions are focused on improvement and modernization. At the same time, it is not excluded that such a project, which provides for the introduction of new technology or technology. Management and organizational decisions contribute to obtaining effective result through appropriate measures or management optimization.

What could be the rationalization proposals?

Various examples can be given. So, the decision may concern the arrangement labor resources, document flow. Rationalization proposals can be made regarding equipment repairs, changes in work schedules, and so on. The solution can also have an organizational and technical focus, combining different elements. Thus, thanks to the rationalization proposal, it is possible to achieve an improvement in the condition of places for workers, optimal placement of equipment, effective separation or combination of production operations, and so on.

Novelty

This is the second essential sign of a useful solution. A rationalization proposal, unlike inventions, is subject to the requirement of local novelty. This means that this attribute must be present within those companies to which decisions are sent. A proposal will be considered new if, before its submission, the enterprise did not know about it to an extent that would be sufficient for its implementation.

Championship

Novelty is determined in accordance with a specific time period. Regarding rationalization proposals, the concept of primacy is used. It is determined by the date of receipt of a correctly completed application for project implementation. The primacy will be recognized by the author who did it first in accordance with the established procedure. A proposal can be opposed only by information that reveals the essence of this or an identical project that became known before the specified date of primacy.

Information Fund

The rationalization proposal includes:

Authorship

It must be borne in mind that a useful and new proposal must be the result of the creative activity of the person submitting it. Often in special publications it is proposed to consider this feature as an independent criterion for the “protectability” of a decision. However, according to a number of experts, this is not particularly necessary due to the fact that all intellectual property for which copyright is recognized must have a creative orientation.

Thus, it is initially believed that all objects of this kind, including the rationalization proposal, are the result of the creative activity of the creators themselves and are not borrowed from open sources. Of course, the latter should be obvious. Refusal to recognize a proposal as a rationalization based on the establishment of borrowing, therefore, is allowed only if this fact is proven or is not directly disputed by the applicant himself.

2 The business portal “Production Management” has been successfully developing since 2010. It was created on the basis of the magazine “Production Management” of the same name (the first issue was published in 2008) by transferring it to the Internet format. Currently we only work in this format. In September 2011, a large strategic investor entered the project, which made it possible to begin implementation new concept portal development. Today our portal provides its audience with various sections and services. These are various sections in the Internet magazine, Library, News and Forum. This is an opportunity to find best shots using the Work section and don’t miss important events. After all, the Events section is available to the audience. We are also appreciated for the fact that we create a number of unique projects. Best experience(or “best practice”) is the core of our portal. Almost all of him are exclusive interviews with professionals in various fields of production management. TOP managers of leading domestic and foreign companies share their management experience, talk about the difficulties and successes of implemented projects. According to experts, this is what made the portal the most high-status specialized project on the Russian-language Internet. The key topics of the portal are: development of production systems, modern technologies production organization, modernization and technical re-equipment, strategic management, quality management, labor productivity, personnel management in production, cost reduction tools, management accounting and reporting, logistics of a manufacturing enterprise, MRO, information technology and production automation, innovation and R&D. The portal's editors are a team of professionals with significant practical experience in manufacturing enterprises, publishing, consulting and business education on manufacturing topics. Availability own Center research and analytics allows you to conduct unique research projects, ratings, create analytical materials and practical guides. The presence of professional translators specializing in production topics on the portal’s team makes it possible to provide the portal’s audience with relevant materials from foreign production sources (English, German and French), as well as interviews with the management of iconic foreign companies. The audience of the portal consists of top managers of well-known companies (including Persons with whom we have published exclusive interviews), heads of production units, and managers of industrial companies, government representatives (geography: Russia and the CIS countries Belarus, Ukraine, Kazakhstan). In 2011 and 2012, the business portal “Production Management” became a winner of the Competition of Journalistic Excellence, organized by the Union of Mechanical Engineers of Russia and the Union of Journalists of Russia.

5 Welcome speech Dear ladies and gentlemen, The Center for Industrial Research of the Business Portal “Production Management” brings to your attention the first all-Russian rating “100 best rationalization proposals in industry 2012”, aimed at assessing the rationalization movement existing in the domestic production environment and providing both industrial companies and up-to-date benchmarking data to the general public. The innovation movement has historically been highly developed in our country, and today it is gaining momentum again. More and more companies are remembering Soviet traditions scientific organization labor, many are guided by the modern experience of the world's leading companies, including the Toyota Corporation. This is evidenced by the results of the study “Russian Production Systems”, according to which rationalization is the most common tool among enterprises implementing modern methods optimization of production, about 180 companies out of 500 announced this. This prompted the Business Portal “Production Management” to launch Russia’s first unique rating “100 best rationalization proposals in industry 2012”, designed to evaluate and stimulate the implementation of this tool in our country. And we are happy to report that it was a success. The main goals of the rating were as follows: to promote the popularization of the innovation movement among Russian enterprises and their employees; make a snapshot of the situation by the nature of rationalization proposals at the end of 2012; determine which rationalization proposals are most common and what they are aimed at; 5 systematize the experience of market leaders in submitting innovation proposals; evaluate the effectiveness of this tool for enterprises; understand the prospects for innovation in Russia. It can be argued that our experiment was a success; the first independent rating of rationalization proposals in the history of Russia took place. We plan to make it an annual event and are looking forward to your suggestions for its improvement.

6 I Rating Methodology When preparing the rating, we planned that its results would be assessed based on the effectiveness of rationalization proposals and the magnitude of financial indicators achieved through their implementation. The main criterion on the basis of which it was intended to rank proposals was economic effect: both relative (percentage of enterprise cost reduction) and absolute (in thousands of rubles). This decision was explained by the desire to give enterprises of various sizes and specifics the opportunity to participate in the rating on equal terms. However, having considered the rationalization proposals submitted by participating enterprises, we were forced to adjust the methodology for evaluating them. At first glance, financial indicators are a universal measure of efficiency, but after analyzing the questionnaires and discovering how different and dissimilar they are from each other, we came to the conclusion that it makes no sense to compare them directly. As evidenced by the data obtained, the concept of rationalization today includes a wide variety of proposals put forward at Russian enterprises: replacement of old equipment with new; use of new raw materials and materials; changes in product design; standardization and regulation; optimization without financial result; 6 process optimization; use of recycled materials; mechanization of manual labor; eliminating unnecessary operations, etc. For a more objective assessment, we decided to group them as follows within the first rating of the hundred best innovation proposals: Group 1 - rationalization proposals that have a pronounced economic effect and are aimed at optimizing processes and operations. Received from correct design(by filling out all points of the questionnaire, a detailed description of the essence of rationalization and a schematic (photo) image). This group included proposals that our experts identified as optimization aimed at various types of optimization, including, for example, optimization of resource use. That is, the first group is proposals, from our point of view, closest to the world concept of “kaizen” (rationalization proposal). Naturally, when the rationalization proposal was described in detail and qualitatively in the questionnaire, the essence of optimization and its quantitative and qualitative results were explained, and it was easier to evaluate it. Group 2: rationalization proposals that have a pronounced economic effect and are aimed at modernization and reengineering. To the second group we included proposals characterized as modernization or technological (engineering) those that are aimed at changing the elements of the work system.

7 system and technological process, for example, the use of new raw materials, the use of new equipment. There is no need to enter into a debate now and find out what a real kaizen proposal is and whether real rationalization is essentially reengineering, since there are a great many opinions on this matter. We believe that in conditions of depreciation of fixed assets and inefficiently organized work systems, with a high potential for modernization, any proposal that allows enterprises to improve their processes or increase financial performance deserves to be called rationalization. Thus, the first group included 36 rationalization proposals. Basically, they were ranked according to the economic effect parameter, however, while tracking quantitative indicators, we could not help but pay attention to quality indicators. Therefore, particularly elegant and interesting solutions were also noted. The second group included 64 rationalization proposals, and when evaluating them, the main criterion was the economic effect. When dividing into groups, factors such as the speed of implementation of proposals, positions occupied by their authors, non-financial effects, originality of proposals, etc. were taken into account. 7

8 II Results of the rating “100 best innovation proposals in industry 2012” Despite the short period for submitting questionnaires (2 months) and the decision to conduct the rating in early August, Russian industrial enterprises responded vividly to our idea. More than 70 enterprises in various industries from various regions of Russia expressed their desire to take part in the rating of “100 Best Innovation Proposals in Industry 2012”. Unfortunately, due to the fact that such a competition is being held for the first time, many enterprises were unable to comply with all the requirements for registration and filling out application forms, and we were forced to exclude their candidacies. As a result, 17 enterprises were allowed to participate in the rating. Structure and evaluation of rating participants. The finalists of the competition (17 enterprises) collectively submitted more than 150 innovation proposals to participate in the rating. It was extremely difficult for us to select the top hundred among them, and we hope for the understanding of the participants. The candidates for the finals were selected in such a way as to demonstrate the diversity of innovation proposals from Russian industrial enterprises. As part of the “Production Systems 2013” rating, we plan to evaluate and compare systems for submitting and implementing innovation proposals, and we hope that the finalists of the “100 Best Innovation Proposals in Industry 2012” rating will take part in it. But, despite this, we believe it is correct to assess what kind of enterprises participated in the rating, how and what rationalization proposals they submitted and what results this led to. The industry structure of the participating enterprises was quite expected, although the absence of representatives of the Russian energy industry among them, who are traditionally strong in the field of innovation and implementation of optimization solutions, was somewhat surprising. It should be noted that the absolute majority of the rating participants (90%) are large manufacturing enterprises with a number of personnel from 700 to people and with revenue from 700 million to 110 billion rubles. 8 Fig. 1. Structure of participants by industry

9 As we can observe in Fig. 1, mechanical engineering and metallurgy are in the lead, which indicates both strong traditions of innovation that have not been lost over the past 20 years, and the presence great potential for optimization in these industries. The reason for the latter largely lies in outdated technologies and fixed assets. Geographically, 12 regions were represented among the rating participants Russian Federation, which, in principle, demonstrates the sufficient prevalence of the movement of innovators. Table 1. Number of participants by region. Region Number of participants St. Petersburg, Leningrad region 3 Republic of Tatarstan 2 Yaroslavl region 2 Vologda region 1 Republic of Buryatia 1 Republic of Bashkortostan 1 Nizhny Novgorod Region 1 Vladimir region 1 Krasnodar region 1 Irkutsk region 1 9 Sverdlovsk region 1 Murmansk region 1 The leading region is the Leningrad region together with the “City of Peter”. They are followed by the Republic of Tatarstan, where the development of production systems has traditionally been strong, and the Yaroslavl region. Unfortunately, a number of enterprises from various regions were unable to participate in the rating due to the busyness of senior managers or their absence due to vacations. Otherwise, the picture of the regional prevalence of innovation would probably be more complete. Separately, it should be noted that the development of rationalization systems of participating enterprises occurs within the framework of the introduction of various concepts of production management (although we do not exclude that there is confusion with terminology, which is common in domestic practice). The majority of participating enterprises (more than 50%) are actively implementing the QMS (quality management system), the concept of “Lean Manufacturing” and the Production System. The age of the system for submitting and implementing rationalization proposals is also fundamental. After all, it depends on how involved and trained the employees are, how well the submission and implementation of proposals are worked out, and how well the enterprise’s economists are able to calculate the economic effect obtained from the implementation of the proposal. Therefore, the questionnaire included a question about how long the innovation system has been in operation.

Basically, these were large metallurgical and machine-building enterprises. More than half of the enterprises (11 participants) have been implementing innovation proposals for no more than 10 years. And a particularly pleasant surprise was the participation in the rating of enterprises with very little experience (2 years), but despite this, they are ready to demonstrate that they have something to be proud of. There were four such participants. Now let's get to know our participants better. Apatit-Elektromashservice presented to our analysts a number of rationalization proposals, which, moreover, were perfectly designed: the financial effect was calculated both in equivalent per unit of production and in relation to total annual indicators. All proposals can be divided into two areas: improvement and optimization of operations and work processes on a screw-cutting lathe and optimization of repair activities. Rationalization proposals of employees are quick and inexpensive to implement, their effect is clear, it is easy to calculate, both the presence of “savvy” of employees and a high culture of designing the proposals themselves can be traced, which indicates a developed system of rationalization. Armtel presented only one proposal aimed at standardization processes, registration

11 lamentation and formalization of processes, and, nevertheless, it has already been implemented and brings a positive result to the enterprise. Armtel's rationalization system is at the very beginning of its development, and we are confident that participation in the competition will allow them to develop it to an international level. BaselCement-Pikalevo, winner of the “Production Systems 2012” rating in the “Advanced Production System” category, presented several proposals, some of which do not have a large financial effect, but fully comply with the world standard of “kaizen proposals”, both in design, so in essence. In addition, they presented proposals that demonstrated a good level of financial performance and a noticeable reduction in costs. The main directions of rationalization: optimization of existing processes and operations and optimization of repair activities. EVRAZ Nizhny Tagil Iron and Steel Works, a large metallurgical enterprise with rich traditions, presented a large number of rationalization proposals, distinguished by very serious financial results. Moreover, for the most part, they fall under the classical type of Soviet rationalization, that is, they belong to the scope of activity of engineering and technical services to change and improve elements of the working (technological) system, namely: replacement of equipment and raw materials, modernization, changes in product designs, etc. . Therefore, of all the rationalization proposals presented by the enterprise, we were able to include only two proposals aimed at optimizing resources (for example, electricity) in the first group. At the same time, it is necessary to note the colossal potential for modernization, which the company is quite skillfully implementing. Irkutskkabel, one of the leaders in the “Production Systems 2012” rating, also provided a large number of rationalization proposals for the rating. Some of them are modernization, some are optimization, and some are aimed at saving resources. In terms of the number of proposals that made it to the finals, especially in the first group, Irkutskkabel occupies a leading place, not to mention the fact that the glory of the best rationalization proposal in Russia this year went to it. A reliable system for calculating the economic effect and production costs, a rationalization system that covers everyone, from directors to ordinary workers, have become, in the opinion of our experts, the key to the enterprise’s victories. NPO Nauka submitted quite a lot of rationalization proposals to the rating, but, unfortunately, most of them did not meet the basic selection criterion of having a recorded financial and economic effect. Despite this, a number of proposals have all the optimization properties and are submitted by workers “from the machine”, which is one of the most valuable characteristics of the rationalization system. Many proposals are aimed at changing designs, technologies, standardization and regulation. It should also be noted that the best proposals focus primarily on improvement and optimization at the operations, process and product levels. NPF Packer provided three rationalization proposals, two of which met the requirements for classic kaizen proposals, but, based on the small volumes of production, the resulting financial effect was small compared to the proposals of other participants. For a confident victory in the rating of “100 best innovation proposals in industry 2012”, enterprise employees are recommended to draw up rationalization proposals in a more detailed and high-quality manner and develop innovation aimed at optimizing processes and organizing flows. OMZ-Special Steel Izhora Plant, a metallurgical enterprise, like EVRAZ, has distinguished itself by a considerable number of rationalization proposals that are effective from an economic point of view, which, however, are also of an engineering, modernization nature. Therefore, of all the rationalization proposals, we were able to include in the first group only one proposal aimed at optimizing resources (rational use of 11

12 charge) and brought a serious economic effect to the enterprise. OMK Almetyevsk Pipe Plant submitted only two rationalization proposals, but one of them deservedly took second place in terms of efficiency and focus on process optimization (technological transitions). A detailed and high-quality description of the essence of the proposal, a high economic effect (more than 1 million rubles), rapid implementation (within 1 month) all this testifies to the promise of the OMK system of rationalization proposals and its reliable traditions. OMK Vyksa Metallurgical Plant, like other metallurgists, presented several rationalization proposals, also related to the area of improving elements of the working (technological) system, although they have an economic effect. This resulted in the fact that only one proposal could get into the first group, but in the second, OMK’s rationalization proposal turned out to be the most effective financially (58 million rubles of economic effect). ElAZ software, which became the winner of the “Production Systems 2012” rating in the “Intelligent Production System” category, submitted mainly rationalization proposals with changes in technologies and designs of a purely engineering nature and, due to small production volumes (against the background of metallurgical giants), could not take a worthy high place among the ranking finalists. But based on ElAZ’s success in developing the Production System, we are confident that at the next competition it will present the most progressive kaizen proposals aimed at optimizing processes. Russian paints, an enterprise with good references and results in implementing a system of rationalization proposals, provided three rationalization proposals of an engineering nature, and all of them have a good financial effect. But we were able to classify only one as optimization, close to kaizen, due to the fact that it was associated with a revision of the entire product identification system at the enterprise. The proposals of the Severstal group of companies were also of a more engineering nature, which led to the inclusion of only one proposal in the first group, but in the second group there were several of them. Unfortunately, the participant did not provide the names of the factories that submitted and implemented the proposals, which caused additional difficulties. We hope that in the future the successes of our market colleagues will push Severstal to more carefully prepare for such ratings. Severstal-metiz, unfortunately, presented only two rationalization proposals, one of which on the recycling of the resource (neutralized water) was able to take its rightful place in the first group of proposals. The Selenga pulp and cardboard mill, which has been developing an innovation system for only two years, provided a number of proposals from several (apparently pilot) production sites with classic elements of modernization and reengineering. Additional benefit What happened was that the economic effect was calculated for each proposal, but only one proposal could fall into the first group. The rest competed with the proposals of metallurgists and machine builders. Management Company AgroHolding Kuban participation in the rating of “100 best rationalization proposals in industry 2012” of one of the country’s largest agricultural holdings was a very positive sign, designed to show the path to rationalization for all agricultural enterprises and representatives of the agro-processing complex. Despite the specifics of the proposals and the difficulties of comparing them with metallurgists and machine builders, the innovation proposals of the Kuban team were able to take worthy places in our rating. We consider the path chosen by the employees of Management Company AgroHolding Kuban to be extremely promising, especially in the context of Russia’s dependence on food imports, and we call on all agricultural and industrial enterprises Food Industry be equal to Kuban. 12

13 UK ODK Saturn Gas turbines, this unique enterprise in the mechanical engineering industry, provided a number of proposals aimed at changing the design and technology, and only one of them was included in the first group, where, thanks to the economic effect, it took its rightful place. The rest competed with metallurgical enterprises in terms of economic efficiency Winners of the rating “100 best rationalization proposals in industry 2012” Since, according to our methodology, proposals that best fit the concept of “kaizen” were selected in the first group, and modernization and engineering transformations were concentrated in the second group, the results were also divided into two parts as follows: Table 3.

OMZ-Special Steel Izhora Plant Choosing a single winner among so many proposals is not an easy task. And having carefully analyzed each one, our experts awarded first place to S.I. Dobretsky, OJSC Irkutskkabel, who presented a completely new look at the process of marking drums with cable products. The introduction of this proposal made it possible to reduce the cost of marking drums and improve it appearance and eliminate unattractive

19 working places with harmful conditions labor: marker 15 units, painter 3 units. As a result, the implementation of the proposal brought 1.7 million rubles of economic effect. The team of F.A. Khabirov, A.V. Sandrevsky, D.G. Matveev and A.V. Kulagin deservedly took second place. (“OMK Almetyevsk Pipe Plant”) for the proposal to adjust the welding stand of the mill during technological transitions. This proposal was implemented in 3 days and brought a financial effect of 1.1 million rubles. The fact of saving the standard time for switching from one standard size to another was reduced by 16 minutes; there were 61 transitions in the base period; savings amounted to 16.3 hours; average performance mill increased by 31.37 tons/hour. As a result, additionally produced products amount to 511.33 tons. Third place (as well as places from 5 to 9 inclusive) was taken by Apatit-Electromashservice. Proposal for organizing work on the restoration of machine parts at the ERC Finka A.O. is a classic proposal aimed at optimizing the process rather than the technology itself. Its implementation not only brought economic benefits, but also significantly improved the working conditions of staff. It should be noted that the proposals of Apatit-Electromashservice were the best in terms of the quality of preparation and elaboration and were closest to the kaizen standard. Although they did not bring a multimillion-dollar effect, like proposals to replace raw materials from other participants, they can indeed be called rationalization in the best sense of the word. I would especially like to note the 6th category turner of the Apatit-Electromashservice enterprise, Andrey Nikolaevich Kuznetsov, who put forward three proposals for rationalization for working on a screw-cutting lathe. The ease of their implementation, the elegance of the idea itself, as well as the clear and tangible effect at both the process and operational levels, evoke sincere pride in the ingenuity of the Russian production worker. Fourth place (as well as 10th and 11th places) was taken by the proposals of BaselCement-Pikalevo. Like Apatit-Elektromashservice, this enterprise has a high culture of preparing rationalization proposals. Kaizen proposal by Grigoriev S.V. to manufacture a mobile lift for repairing pressure regulators revolutionized the operation, freeing up two workers, reducing labor intensity and improving safety, all in just 9 days. Separately, I would like to highlight the rationalization proposal of the Irkutskkabel enterprise, which took 22nd place. It consisted of replacing diesel fuel with detergent. Someone will laugh and ask: “Where is the rationalization here?” But, apparently, diesel fuel was used for cleaning floors for many years, and no one was concerned that it was unprofitable, harmful, and a fire hazard. The problem was simply not noticed until V.I. Gorbachev. and Shcherbo I.I. did not pay attention to it and did not submit a proposal to eliminate it. Their example is instructive for every production worker: look around, because the basis of rationalization is the constant desire to do better than it was, and the absence of inertia of thinking. No less progressive is the direction of increasing the efficiency of electricity consumption in production, a striking example of which is the proposal by Bezdenezhnykh I. B. and Gulyashcheva P.V. (“EVRAZ Nizhny Tagil Metallurgical Plant”) to reduce electricity consumption when switching the power supply to the automation systems of the PGR section and refrigerators from power voltage (380V 50Hz) instead of the G-D system (rotary converters). This proposal took 23rd place, which is not surprising, because the world's leading economies (Japan and Germany) have long been increasing the efficiency of use of all types of energy resources in enterprises, reducing their consumption and improving the cost structure of products. It is impossible not to mention Fattakhov R.A. and a group of his colleagues, authors of a number of interesting proposals from the ElAZ Production Association. The proposals of his group show non-banality - 19

20th technological and engineering thought and serious experience gained over the years, which allowed them to take 28th place with the proposal “change in the manufacturing operation of the “Plate” APRS part.” Simple solutions, quick implementations, focus on technological operations, these are the factors that, with proper development, high-quality design of proposals and a slightly greater focus on optimizing processes rather than technologies, will allow this team and the enterprise itself to compete worthily in the fight for victory next year. The best rationalization proposal (engineering) for financial indicators, which took 37th place was the proposal of OMK Vyksa Metallurgical Plant for casting wheel steel into seven-blank molds combined with profit, which was submitted by a group of engineers and technologists of the plant (first place among technological and engineering proposals). The effect of implementing this proposal amounted to 58.1 million rubles. In this case, we must not forget about the effect of scale, but it does not prevent anyone from using “Pareto analysis” and finding out on which processes, operations and technologies the enterprise spends the most resources, and concentrating its optimization efforts in these areas. To summarize the above, I would like to note that the total effect of implementing more than 150 proposals submitted for our consideration by 17 enterprises from different industries amounted to about 300 million rubles. 20

21 III State and trends of innovation in Russia What is the nature of the innovation proposals received as part of the rating? One of the goals of the rating “100 best rationalization proposals in industry 2012” was to provide enterprises with the opportunity to see the whole picture that has developed with rationalization proposals in Russia, so that any manager could compare his system of rationalization proposals and its product with the results of our rating and make appropriate conclusions. When planning this rating, we took as a basis similar ones conducted in England, France, Austria, China, India, Malaysia, Taiwan, and assumed that our main task would be the distribution of rationalization proposals (kaizen) by type, as is done all over the world: aimed at workplace(5S), aimed at repair and maintenance (TPM), aimed at logistics and logistics, aimed at optimizing processes and operations, etc. Then, depending on the number of certain proposals, we had to create nominations or separate ratings for them, as for example in India, Taiwan and Malaysia, where the most popular is the rating of proposals and TPM systems. But having received the results of the survey, we discovered that the scheme familiar abroad does not work in Russia, and we divided all 150 rationalization proposals into the following types (see Fig. 2). 21 Fig. 2. Types of rationalization proposals of participating enterprises. The presented types of rationalization proposals are, in fact, a product of systems for submitting and implementing rationalization proposals, that is, they indicate which ones

The system “passed” 22 proposals for implementation over the past 2 years. The creation of such a classification did not present any difficulties, since it does not even require additional explanations and studies. A quick look at the list of rationalization proposals, any reader will see that proposals with the names “Change of design” and “Replacement/Modernization” prevail in it, that is, classic rationalization proposals from the point of view of NOT, which in the total number turned out to be more than 50%. Having analyzed the information that is in the public domain, although enterprises like to talk more about the general effect than about specific rationalization proposals, we were convinced that this classification and percentage correspond to the general market situation (with a deviation of no more than 5.5%). Next year’s rating, “100 Best Innovation Proposals in Industry 2013,” will help us understand how actively this situation is changing, and we hope that current participants will look forward to it and prepare for it with no less impatience than we do. We did not divide optimization proposals into types, as is customary abroad, due to their lack of large quantity only 8% of the total. On the other hand, we are pleased with the fairly large percentage of rationalization proposals for the recycling of raw materials and materials - 12% of the total. This suggests that in the minds of managers and employees, the attitude “Russia is a country with innumerable and rich resources” began to change to “saving even 100 rubles will help the enterprise to be competitive.” A high percentage of proposals aimed at optimizing resources (raw materials, materials, energy) 13.3% of the total, on the one hand, is a very good trend, and on the other hand, it indicates that when designing, planning and organizing production (technological, working) systems at Russian enterprises do not know how to reduce resource consumption. What surprised us was the presence of this type of rationalization proposals, such as the replacement of raw materials and materials 16.7% of the total. As a rule, these proposals are submitted by engineers, technologists, supply specialists, department heads, and such a large percentage of the total number indicates both the existence of high potential for modernization and optimization of production, and the need to carefully monitor all global trends in the development of technologies and the emergence of new types of raw materials and materials with new properties and qualities. Also, six proposals that we classified as “regulation, standardization, formalization” were not included in the classification, since, although they bring an effect, they are not rationalization in nature, but fall under the tasks of QMS and process management in production. The fundamental issue is always the timing of the implementation of the innovation proposal. On the one hand, this is a measure of the effectiveness of the system for introducing rationalization proposals, and on the other, an assessment of the complexity (the magnitude of fundamental changes in production) of implementing proposals. Considering that up to 70% of innovation proposals are aimed at modernizing and changing designs and technologies, the presence of such a large number of innovation proposals with an implementation period of 3 months or more is not surprising. At the same time, 34% of rationalization proposals were implemented in less than a month, which indicates a high degree of readiness of enterprises for changes and a well-functioning system for implementing proposals. I would like to note that within the framework of the modern Kaizen Blitz methodology, it is believed that “A proposal that cannot be implemented over a weekend is not worth considering.” We were 22

23 are pleased to note that more than 10% of the innovation proposals of the rating finalists meet this requirement! Rice. 3 Structure of rationalization proposals by implementation time. So, we can conclude that rationalization proposals in Russia have a clear focus, they: correct errors in technological processes; change the design of products (designed with errors); 23 initiate replacement/repair of outdated equipment or its components; change materials and raw materials for production to more efficient and modern ones; optimize use various types resources (loss of energy, raw materials, materials); propose to effectively reuse raw materials and materials in the production process; optimize processes, operations, technologies. A sample of 70 enterprises and more than 500 rationalization proposals (of which 17 enterprises and 150 proposals were admitted to the finals), with an emphasis on rationalization in mechanical engineering and metallurgy, seems to us sufficient to formulate such conclusions. To leave no doubt, we lack enterprises in the automotive and energy industries in the ranking. But we hope that, having become interested in the results of our rating and based on the competitive Olympic principle, they will take part in the rating of “100 best innovation proposals in industry 2013.” What are rationalization proposals in Russia and in the world? The results of the rating “100 best innovation proposals in industry 2012” were in many ways surprising for us. Having analyzed the potential emails sent to us

First proposal: At many stations where DC switchboards were replaced, they encountered the following problem: A lamp was installed at the main control room to indicate the operation of the flashing light device. Those. if the switch is in the wrong position, the lamp on the block control panel (corresponding to this switch) blinks and the lamp on the main control room blinks. The old scheme was usually implemented on a pulse pair with free block contacts and perform this decision there were no problems. Nowadays, PPBs (non-contact power breakers) are installed all the time. At one station they suggested such a simple solution (diagram in the appendix). Of course, everything here will depend on the internal circuit of the device, but I tried it on devices from 4 different manufacturers, everything works. Solved by installing a capacitor C, 2 µF, 300 V.More. When using modern PPB and LED lamps, “blinking” of alarm lamps may be observed. This problem can be solved by installing a VD diode (see diagram in the appendix). This problem is relevant for large and extended flashing bus networks.

Second sentence. Again connected with direct current). Namely, with the Bender system (and other similar systems). Problem: Having installed such a system on a large network (with large capacity), you may encounter the problem of a long cycle for determining the presence/absence of insulation damage. For example, the system has identified a damaged feeder on the switchboard, and a bunch of assemblies are powered through this connection. It can be difficult for operating personnel to search for disconnecting consumers one by one on these assemblies, because after disconnecting the connection, the system needs a long time to analyze the changes (sometimes it can take up to 10 minutes). I propose installing another insulation monitoring device (any ultrasonic device operating on the principle of a measuring bridge). Connection diagram in the application. The disadvantage of using such a circuit is that when ground appears, the duty officer will have to manually enter an insulation search system.

Tula power engineers have made another rationalization proposal

A team of authors from the branch of PJSC IDGC of Center and Volga Region - Tulenergo proposed to use a set of measuring rods to measure the parameters of the phase-zero circuit on a 0.4 kV power transmission line without lifting to a support and turning off the voltage.

The initiators of the creation and practical application of such measuring rods were the employees of the Odoevsky Electric Networks District (RES) of the Suvorov Electric Networks production department - dispatcher Andrey Svistunov and site foreman Alexander Telyatnikov, as well as the head of the operation service of the Tulenergo branch Irina Makarova.

According to Andrey Svistunov, an experienced power engineer who has worked in an electric grid enterprise for more than 16 years, the rationalization idea arose from the need to improve the process of measuring the parameters of the phase-zero circuit on a 0.4 kV overhead line. This is a fairly lengthy procedure, which is carried out in strict accordance with regulatory requirements, with the power line being turned off to connect the instrument's test leads and then turned on for measurements. In this case, it is necessary to interrupt the power supply to consumers, a lot of time is spent on completing various documentation, preparing the workplace and subsequent activities.

The rational proposal of Tula power engineers makes it possible to measure the parameters of the phase-zero circuit without interrupting the power supply to consumers. At the same time, time costs are reduced by 3.6 times. The most important thing is that the safety of work is increased. Now they can be carried out by operational and repair personnel in the order of routine operation.

Alexander Telyatnikov, who has been working at the Odoevsky Distribution Zone since 2002, says that the measuring rods are of prefabricated construction, up to 8 m long, and have clamps that ensure good contact with the overhead line wires. The measuring leads of the rods are connected to the clamps, on the other side the wires are equipped with connectors that are suitable for connection to the measuring device. The length of the wires allows them to be connected to the device while on the ground.

Now this development, along with other rationalization proposals from teams of authors from the Tulenergo branch of PJSC IDGC of Center and Volga Region, which have already proven their effectiveness in practice, will be widely used in the work of the Tula power grid complex and other regions to fulfill the priority task of ensuring reliable power supply consumers.

An innovator lives in every engineer - Energy and Industry of Russia - No. 22 (306) November 2016 - WWW.EPRUSSIA.RU

The rationalization movement of IDGC of Center and Volga Region PJSC was revived with renewed vigor in 2008, and in connection with the “Year of the Engineer” it received a new impetus. The main goals of rationalization activities at IDGC of Center and Volga Region were the activation and further development of mass technical creativity of employees as one of the conditions for the innovative development of the company.

Today, IDGC of Center and Volga Region PJSC registers about one hundred technical proposals per year. Proposals recognized as rationalization are applied in the production activities of the branches of the author; at least 10 percent of them are replicated annually in the energy company. Statistical analysis showed that more than 90 percent of suggestions were made by representatives of production personnel. Rationalization is most common among managers and engineering and technical workers with higher professional education, middle age, and professional experience and knowledge.

Category 2 engineer of the relay protection, automation and metrology service of the Vladimir Electric Networks production department of the Vladimirenergo branch, Alexey Tretyakov (pictured), proposed eight developments, including the invention of a flashlight with a magnetic mount and electronic dialing, which increases the safety of work in relay compartments of substations with the possibility of use in places with high background noise, and an attachment - a high-frequency signal amplifier, which allows you to configure, check and troubleshoot RF protection equipment.

The author of seven developments was an engineer of the 2nd category of the information technology service of the Northern Electric Networks production department of the Kirovenergo branch, Vladimir Chernov. The “Electronic Load” device he developed is used as a load device for control discharges of batteries, as well as for testing various DC power sources, improving the quality of work and ease of use. Another invention of Vladimir, “Meter of equivalent series resistance of electrolytic capacitors,” speeds up and simplifies the process of diagnosing faults in communications, telemechanics and computer equipment.

The company places emphasis not only on successful daily work, but also on the creative potential of the team. The desire to stimulate the involvement of a larger number of workers in the process of mass technical creativity and to increase the percentage of replication has led to the fact that IDGC of Center and Volga Region has introduced a procedure for remunerating authors based on the results of replication of innovative developments: depending on the scale and effect of introducing an innovation, the author receives a bonus. To inform staff about innovative developments, a unified register of all technical solutions has been created, posted on the company’s publicly accessible internal resource.

The company is confident that if you take a broader look at the world and fill your daily work with new ideas, you can benefit not only your colleagues, but also the company as a whole!

Rationalization proposal. Rationalization proposals at the enterprise: examples:: BusinessMan.ru

Positive points

Definition

According to this provision, the rationalization proposal had such characteristics as usefulness, novelty and technical solution. In current recommendations, the definition is given in a slightly modified form. In particular, a rationalization proposal is a managerial, organizational or technical solution that is recognized as useful and new for a given structure. From the definition it is clear that only the first part has changed. Thus, the rationalization proposal is no longer limited exclusively to the area of technical methods for solving current practical problems.

Characteristic

Methods of execution

Providing a solution to a problem can be carried out using managerial, organizational, technical means or a combination of them. Among technical proposals, the predominant ones are those that relate to design changes in products, production technologies, equipment used, or material composition. Such solutions are focused on improvement and modernization. At the same time, it is not excluded that a project that involves the introduction of new technology or equipment can be recognized as a rationalization proposal. Management and organizational decisions contribute to obtaining effective results through the implementation of appropriate activities or optimization of management.

What could be the rationalization proposals?

Various examples can be given. Thus, the decision may concern the allocation of labor resources and document flow. Rationalization proposals can be made regarding equipment repairs, changes in work schedules, and so on. The solution can also have an organizational and technical focus, combining different elements. Thus, thanks to the rationalization proposal, it is possible to achieve an improvement in the condition of places for workers, optimal placement of equipment, effective separation or combination of production operations, and so on.

Novelty

Championship

Information Fund

The rationalization proposal includes:

The results of design, technological, engineering, and research developments that are carried out by the relevant services of a particular organization together with similar departments of other companies.
Documents received by a given enterprise from another in accordance with an agreement signed by them on the implementation of the above activities or on the transfer of achievements and the provision of technical assistance.
Decisions of production meetings and scientific and technical councils.

Ideas lie under your feet - 1nsk

Even before starting his work as the head of the point Maintenance Novoperelubskaya station Dmitry Klenyushin made a mini-revolution in the carriage industry. His rationalization proposals were successfully implemented, scientific articles were published in collections, and his ideas won prizes at prestigious competitions. It is not difficult to imagine what an event its appearance was for a small railway station located at the junction of the Volga and South Ural mainlines. Size matters

– What is the fundamental difference between working at a small station and working at a large hub? – Dmitry thinks about it. – Probably, it’s that it’s much easier to get to a small station, but it’s more difficult to leave it, especially from a position where you need higher education. But seriously, the most important difference lies in the organization of the production process. Indeed, due to the relatively small volume of work at small stations, it is inappropriate to maintain a significant staff, so workers combine several specialties. For example, an inspector-repairman simultaneously performs the duties of a mechanic for current uncoupling repairs and a compressor unit operator or slinger. The site manager performs many functions that, at large sites, the staffing table allows for to be assigned to other performers. If we talk about the everyday side of things, then it is also quite difficult to wean ourselves from city comfort.

Dmitry Klenyushin began his career on the Volga Railway in 2009 as a wagon inspector-repairer, then acted as a depot technologist, and tried his hand as a manager at the Anisovka technical service station foreman. When they offered the position of head of the Novopelyubskaya VET, the young railway worker agreed. Still, they don’t refuse promotions, even if they have to go to a place where it’s difficult to get to even by passenger train...

“Working at a small station teaches you how to interact with people in tightly formed teams, often formed over many years,” says my interlocutor. – Between formal and informal social groups Sometimes contradictions and hidden conflicts accumulate, the impact of which on the production process is more difficult to minimize in such a “closed” space. We have to be more insightful, learn to feel people more subtly. In addition, such experience teaches self-discipline, since, in fact, the site manager is the final control authority for himself. And in general, being outside the “comfort zone” teaches a lot and strengthens a person’s spirit. As for me, for example, except here, I would not have learned anywhere else how to properly cut a pork carcass and salt the lard.

The best motivation is interest

Dmitry Klenyushin is not just a professional railway worker. He is also a talented innovator. In 2013, at the review competition “The Idea of JSC Russian Railways,” his development “Interactive simulator for identifying defects in cast parts of bogies” took third place in the category “The best technical solution of a young inventor for organizing scheduled repairs and maintenance of freight cars in operation.”

– How did you come to innovation? – I ask our hero.

“I began to engage in innovation in the technical department of the Anisovka operational car depot, when I realized that my programming and graphics skills could be useful here,” says Dmitry. – Subsequently, while working in production, the range of my creative interests moved from computer programs and posters for making stands and using new tools in work. Today I am developing improvement proposals together with experienced employees of my technical training department, from whom I can glean many “everyday” ideas for improving the production process. The senior shift inspector, Vitaly Shpetko, especially helps me with this.

I express my doubts out loud: how can you generate ideas while working at a small station? Where do they come from?

Dmitry doesn’t hesitate to answer:

– The process of technical creativity at small and large stations has no fundamental differences. Another thing is that the awareness of workers at small stations is much worse. Thus, many railway workers do not know what can be considered an improvement proposal and what cannot, and they are afraid of difficulties and problems when formalizing their developments. Well, as for where ideas come from... Yes, they are just lying under your feet, and sometimes in the most literal sense! One day one of my workers comes up to me, shows me a piece of polyurethane he found in the field and offers to use it in the friction unit of the supporting string of the power supply cable of a gantry crane. By the way, he was very surprised when he learned from me that this would turn out to be a good rationalization proposal.

Already being the head of the technical department at Novoperelubskaya, Klenyushin, together with colleagues from the carriage service, developed the project “Forecasting train flow at the station.” It took part in the final stage of the “New Link” competition and was presented in Moscow to top officials of the Russian Railways company.

However, it is not always possible to implement the born idea. According to the young innovator, sometimes there is not enough support from management. Besides, centralized system management railway production minimizes independence in introducing new work methods that differ in some way from the regulated ones regulatory documents. Dmitry encountered this problem in practice. One of his rationalization proposals – a program for calculating train processing time depending on the volume of work on cars, developed on the basis of “Standards of working hours and standards for the number of workers at freight car maintenance points” – was never implemented, despite all its relevance . The “stumbling block” was the average time for processing one car, recommended by the instructions of the carriage management department of the Central Directorate of Infrastructure...

– What does another success mean to you?

“This is just a pleasant event, a reason for pride,” Dmitry answers. – But for engaging in scientific and rationalization work, this kind of motivation is rather in second place, and interest is in first place. I think I succeed precisely because in my free time from work I do what I love and find interesting.

Scientific approach

Dmiry Klenyushin wrote his first program while still in his third year at the Samara University of Transport. Later it was introduced into educational process on the course “Electrical machines”. From that moment his scientific career began. On the recommendation of Associate Professor of the Department of Electrical Engineering Tatyana Bushtruk, the student wrote an article on this program to participate in a scientific conference.

Before graduating from university, the railway worker took part in several scientific competitions and conferences, developed and issued copyright certificates for software, and co-authored with Tatyana Nikolaevna several articles on the topic distance learning and development of training software. After graduating from university, Dmitry entered graduate school and successfully passed the candidate minimum. All that remains is to defend your thesis...

– Why should a railway worker work? scientific work? Any person would benefit from this. Of course, participation in fundamental and applied scientific research while simultaneously working on railway almost impossible. But participation in conferences, publication of articles, development of a scientific product at the PhD level - all this teaches you to work with literature, correctly formulate your thoughts, and draw conclusions based on serious evidence base. And in the end, it's just interesting!

Dear electricians, I need help, I need an improvement proposal by email. parts, can anyone give me an idea for economy. electricity?

Turn off the switches on the switchgear

Install LED lamps everywhere! Install a two-tariff meter and switch all energy-intensive processes to night time!

Distribute excess heat from bread makers to heat the room.

Please provide at least a structure of energy consumption so that it is clear where and how much is spent.

Install heat pumps.

Install a reactive power compensator if you don’t already have one.

Yeah. what a cunning one! There is a way to obtain cheap energy from garbage, of which there are tons everywhere. Well, I submit an idea and you get a Nobel and I’m in shit?? Well, yes. In a couple of years I will launch an installation for traveling by car and heating the house.

If you have any questions for an electrician, I can advise you to contact him personally. Recently I had a short circuit and contacted a good professional http://electriksan-rostov.ru who quickly did everything

To the innovator

	Why is the page "Innovator" first after home page? Any Kipovtsy (and my main profession is an instrumentation and automation specialist) does not need to be explained - most of the work is related to rationalization developments. This includes the installation of new equipment, when it is necessary to develop panels for mounting devices, as well as the assembly of new components and circuits to replace failed ones (during the repair process). Of course, there will still be “golden” times and instead of a failed device, it will be possible to get the device in a warehouse, and you won’t have to carry resistors and capacitors, LEDs and transistors, and tools from home supplies. With the further development of the enterprise, these problems will go away.
	In Soviet times, much attention was paid to amateur radio design. Radio amateurs have always been in value. It is very difficult to train a specialist to work in instrumentation if he does not understand radio electronics. Amateur radio requires many years of self-training and practice. A radio amateur is an almost ready-made specialist for many branches of industry and defense. A radio amateur designer can not only perform work mechanically, but also constantly develop and implement various improvement proposals, without which it is impossible to maintain and repair automation circuits. It is not for nothing that there were numerous amateur radio clubs in the USSR. Now this is not the case. Before the 2008 crisis, I observed how many enterprises could not find specialists to service automation. Old staff retired or went into business in the 90s. And there are very few new ones. There is no one to work. This leads to the fact that the equipment is dismantled with automation and a person is installed for manual control. Unfortunately, this is often observed in enterprises of the Soviet period. And for repairs they hire a low-skilled specialist whose education is limited to knowledge of the “start” and “stop” buttons. And the circuit, which also has indicators, confuses him. Unfortunately, for a long time we have not been able to find amateur radio specialists at KIP. There are only 3 people left in our team servicing complex electronic circuits, and there may only be one specialist left - me, after the retirement of the pensioners.
	The Internet has truly become a worldwide reference book. Let us remember how often in the past we could not find some information or diagrams. I had to buy volumes of books on radio electronics. Nowadays you just ask a question in a search engine and 80% of questions have a ready answer. If I have any questions about working with new equipment, I quickly receive an answer from the manufacturers via e-mail. Recently I even had to write to an instrumentation equipment plant in Poland. The answer - consultation came the next day. New devices arrived - I asked questions to the technical support department of the manufacturer. And it has become more convenient to update knowledge. After all, there are no advanced training courses now, but the equipment we receive is modern. Therefore, I write out a lot of catalogs on instrumentation and electrical appliances, study them, try to always be aware of where and what is being produced and which devices are more appropriate to use at the moment to replace those that have failed. In fact, the Internet makes it possible to find answers to many problems that arise in production. But for this you need to sit at the computer for hours at home after your main job. There is information on almost all issues. For convenience, I asked that a computer be allocated to us at KIP, where reference books, training videos, price lists and more are stored. True, most of the work has to be done at home, because in production I am an electrician, and an electrician is not supposed to sit at a computer at work. Therefore, at home I have an “office” - searching for information on devices for the factory on behalf of management, communicating with device manufacturers, studying programs for production, drawing up programs for devices. I hope that in the future I will have access to the Internet at work. After all, sometimes some issues need to be resolved promptly, but the necessary information is not available.

	The privatization of the factory poses new challenges for us. As the experience of other enterprises privatized in past years shows, the words privatization and modernization go hand in hand. Therefore, we have to roll up our sleeves and, with renewed energy, begin replacing equipment and installing modern automation systems. read more...
	Overhead cranes are available at almost all enterprises. This is the basic equipment, without which it is impossible to carry out repairs. But cranes put into operation when the enterprise opens require more and more maintenance costs. Many enterprises are modernizing the electrical equipment of overhead cranes. At the request of management, I searched the Internet for information on this issue. I post some search results below: download file...
	Cleaning the surface of the belt from adhering coal. After I was sent several times to use a sledgehammer and a crowbar to break frozen coal under the belts, I thought, is there really no newer technology in the 21st century than heavy manual labor. Here's what I found on the Internet: "To increase the service life and ensure normal operation of the belt, it is necessary to clean the surface of the belt from adhering particles of the transported load. The cleaning devices used must provide sufficiently complete cleaning while maximizing the safety of the surface being cleaned; their design must be simple and reliable in work. Cleaning highly sticky wet loads and those that freeze on the belt is the most difficult. Here are examples of various conveyor belt cleaners..." download file...
	Pumps for pumping heating oil, information on the use and storage of coke fuel - I searched for information on these issues at the request of the workshop manager. As it was before, we managed to “get” some kind of pump, so they installed it, but no one thought about its durability or efficiency. If it fails, we will buy a new one with government money. It is now necessary to study this issue in more detail. The market provides hundreds of brands of pumps. Durability, performance and energy savings depend on the choice. I post some materials below. download the file...
	Omental packings. What new can you find here? I received a request from the workshop manager to find a price list for the purchase of stuffing box packing for a pump. It turned out that this question is not as simple as it seemed. We have been using asbestos graphite packing in the old fashioned way since Soviet times. But it turned out that the market now offers dozens of brands of oil seal packings that no one in production knows about. Therefore, I am posting below a selection of information on the topic “stuffing box packings”. Download the file...
	Frequency converters for asynchronous electric motors. We received several PPVs. And we were faced with the fact that we do not have specialists to configure and implement this modern technology. In Soviet times these were advanced training courses, but now... Well, I have the Internet at home, I studied the instructions, simultaneously pestering the technical support department of the manufacturer with questions. Yes, I also worked on the forums. In general, I’m sharing my experience. read more...
	Started studying the masterSCADA program for creating systems automated control(many people, as far as I know, have not heard of this, let me explain - the computer controls the operation of industrial equipment, everything is displayed on the monitor Technical information). My plans include the development and installation of small-scale control circuits for the main building and drying workshop using personal computers. read more...
	Here I outlined my version of modernizing the sampler control circuit at mining and processing plants. I was tired of the fact that old parts constantly broke down, the electricians on duty, due to their qualifications, could not carry out repairs and had to go to work on their own time and fix the fault. I usually act on the principle that if something breaks frequently, then the technology needs to be changed. It turned out that the automation circuit uses electromechanical time relays. They have to work almost around the clock, they quickly exhaust their resources and begin to “crumble”. The instrumentation electrician had to visit every day all the points where electrical cabinets with automation were installed and eliminate breakdowns. But it turned out that automation has now come a long way in the 40 years that have passed since the factory was built. And I mounted the entire circuit based on one programmable relay. I created a program on the computer, uploaded it to the device, and that’s it! All relays have become virtual! Even the electrical cabinet has become unnecessary, because the programmable relay is a small device that fits in the palm of your hand.
	The most powerful ideas and elegant solutions seem to be simple, obvious, “lying on the surface” only after they have already occurred to someone. With enviable consistency, we hit the wall of our own stereotypes, not noticing open exits and new opportunities. So many bumps was filled with apples falling from the trees, until, finally, one lucky apple fell on the right head? How are new ideas born in general? What are the mechanisms of creative insight? What makes a person a genius? Is it a gift from God, is it a special combination of genes, is it the result fortunately developed life circumstances, either all together, or something fundamentally different? Alas, despite the importance and significance of creative thinking both for the progress of humanity as a whole and for the life success of each of its individual representatives, the nature of creativity is still full of mysteries and secrets. Like our prehistoric ancestors, the main way for us to obtain new ideas and solutions is still the trial and error method, called by Heinrich Altshuller the “evil idol” of humanity. read more...
	Everything in the world was, everything in the world is, everything in the world is repeated. People tend to step on the same rake for centuries. Therefore, I will apply the experience of generations and the knowledge contained in the books of our ancestors, interpreting them to the modern moment. I consider Ford's methods in organizing enterprises. What methods can we implement at the enrichment plant? read more...

	The issue of workshop heating is one of the most important, but for some reason it is only remembered during abnormal frosts. Apparently they are relying on global warming, there will be no cold winters. But according to scientists, in eastern Ukraine this will result in dry, hot summer months and cold winter months. So the heating problem needs to be solved. What can you offer? Of course, solve the issue of window repair. The workshops were built in Soviet times, apparently according to the designs of warm countries; glass covered almost the entire area of the walls. Here you can recall the station in Mariupol, which was built according to an Italian design. Glass, glass doors without seal, etc. But when the question arose in a market economy about reducing heating costs, the station was immediately reconstructed and insulated. Then it is necessary to resolve the issue of heat generators. Those stoves that are standing here and there do not stand up to criticism. Here I had to look for information on the Internet...read more...
	Suggestions for improving the work: is it worth getting involved in a discussion of this topic? Yes, this is the responsibility of the enterprise innovators, their destiny. Let's go to each workshop, draw up a workshop plan, a list of equipment. which works, we will draw up a so-called passport of each node and monitor whether this equipment works with proper efficiency? For example, we go into the main building: a vacuum belt filter, study the documentation, the equipment parameters are written there. The main thing to pay attention to is the percentage of moisture in the product at the inlet and the percentage of moisture at the outlet. If the output results are unsatisfactory, we study what the operating parameters of the equipment should be - all this is specified in the passport. It is imperative to keep logs of equipment breakdowns, where to indicate the breakdown and describe the repair. These logs will display the condition of the equipment, and in themselves will be a treasure trove of experience for new specialists. This is their experience as electronic engineers. It happens that the breakdown recurs after a long time, but no one remembers how the repair was carried out and what the reason was. This is where notes come in handy. And so on in all workshops, for each device. That is, we check the quality of the equipment’s operation, and then decide what can be changed. Not enough knowledge? There is the Internet for this. We are learning, improving, improving the quality of work, moving towards complete elimination of emergency situations and complete quality control. It is necessary to eliminate the problems that we are accustomed to, as workers often say: “This has been happening to us for a long time, we are already accustomed to working this way.” Most of the various problems could be solved with the help of additional alarm units, which require little investment.
	Suggestion for improvement: drying
	Suggestion for improvement: main building
	Suggestion for improvement: loading
	Suggestion for improvement: DAB
	Computer in the workplace: “When computers are used correctly, an organization can make money, and efficiency and productivity will skyrocket. A computer is a tool with truly gigantic capabilities.” (L. Ron Hubbard)
	Suggestion for improving work: I noticed that sometimes calculations at an enterprise are done the old fashioned way - on a calculator, and there is a computer nearby, where the data is then entered into a table. Let me tell you that Excel is a program that is created not only for drawing tables. This program can save you from all the work of calculations and you will forget what a calculator is. Call me and I will create a table for you and enter formulas into it. All you have to do is enter the initial data, and the calculation will be performed automatically. Now I am automating the work of the chief power engineer to calculate electricity consumption at the factory, etc. (4 tables in total). I appeal to the employees of my enterprise - call me at KIP, I, as a former computer science teacher, will help you: learning how to use a computer, working with programs, selecting programs, and other issues related to computers and the Internet.
	Tired of fiddling with old worn-out recorders, I decided to study how this issue is solved at other enterprises. It turns out that such electromechanical technology of the last century is being abandoned almost everywhere. After all, it is cheaper and more practical to install one personal computer and display all the information on the screen, and archive the parameters in the computer’s memory. Now I am developing small-scale dispatching schemes based on computers for the drying shop and for the main building.
	Winter is coming. As always, suddenly and with frosts. As always, there was a rush to unload the wagons. What to do? I will try to answer this question as a direct participant in the events. I believe that emergency work is just an incorrect organization of the production process. If KIP workers work every day to clear bunkers, this is an emergency situation. And if there is an emergency situation at the enterprise every day, then it is necessary to study the reasons and find solutions. Let's remember that in 1920, 80% of Ford's processes were automated. Why do we have automation on the margins, and the main tools are a crowbar, a sledgehammer, a pike, a shovel? Car dumping on winter days - mechanization of work.

Engineers of the branch of IDGC of Center PJSC - Belgorodenergo, Alexander Tashkin and Sergey Saenko, became the authors of rationalization proposals aimed at increasing the efficiency of the electricity transmission process and reducing losses. Their developments are marked with special certificates and included in the register of improvement proposals of IDGC of Center PJSC.

Deputy Head of the Valuysky Distribution Zone for the sale of services Sergei Saenko developed a number of organizational and technical measures aimed at identifying facts of electricity theft in the electrical grid complex.

At the first stage of the measures, a kind of database or “black” list of consumers who committed theft of electricity, as well as consumer meters that distort the amount of electricity used, is formed. At the second stage, to bring consumer accounting to the norm, Sergei Saenko proposed new calculation and instrumental methods for identifying such meters. After the implementation of these measures, the useful supply of electricity from legal entities Valuysky district, which stopped using “charged” meters, increased by 1.64 million kWh compared to 2015. Electricity losses were reduced by the same amount in distribution network. The overall positive effect from the complex of organizational and technical measures carried out in 2016 amounted to at least 3.28 million kWh.

Leading engineer of the Department of Energy Saving and Energy Efficiency, Alexander Tashkin, in his rationalization proposal proposed to supplement the design of complete transformer substations 6-10/0.4 kV with special capacitors to compensate for reactive power losses in power transformers. This will reduce reactive power flows and, as a consequence, technical losses in the 6-10 kV distribution network. The payback period of the project with minor additional costs (about 2%) does not exceed 2 years. The author notes that if, during the planned replacement and installation of new transformers, care is taken in advance to compensate for their own reactive power losses, this will lead to a reduction in load losses in the 6-10 kV network. After all, the effect of reactive power compensation in just one transformer ranges from 3.6 to 9 thousand kWh per year, depending on the rated power. Taking into account that IDGC of Center PJSC has more than 110 thousand 6-10/0.4 kV transformers on its balance sheet, the total effect can be very significant.

Certificates for rationalization proposals are registered in accordance with the regulations on rationalization activities of PJSC IDGC of Center, aimed at finding new technical solutions designed to improve the quality and reliability of power supply to consumers.
