Experience of Implementation of the Lean Production Concept at the Enterprise of Thermal Insulating Materials Market

Relevance. The construction industry produces a third of global waste, much of it is not recycled, ending up in landfills and polluting the environment. Between 2000 and 2020, the volume of construction work has increased more than 12-fold. The flip side of the process is a proportional increase in waste. In the insulation materials market and in the construction industry in general, the relevance of the lean manufacturing concept is growing, as it can be used to reduce the amount of resources consumed and increase business efficiency.

Purpose. This article considers the developed measures for implementation of the concept of lean production in the framework of strategic management of the enterprise at the plant of the market of thermal insulation materials.

Objectives. Within the framework of the concept realization the excessive quality is reduced, the system of personnel training is implemented and the level of competitiveness of the enterprise is increased.

Methodology. The object of the study is the plant of Belgorod region, the leader in labor productivity in the city of Belgorod. The works were carried out from 2021 to 2023.

Results. Due to the implemented program labor productivity increased by 2,0%, the number of scrap was reduced from 1,7% to 0,8%, new strategies for the development of the company were developed due to the introduction of personnel training system.

Conclusions. The program of increase of competitiveness of the enterprise of branch of heat-insulating materials on the basis of introduction of the concept of lean production at its projection on other companies given in the present article is perspective in the plan of increase of competitiveness of the Russian Federation in the world arena, in fact the economy of the country depends on efficiency of subjects functioning in it.
