Young specialists of POLYEF JSC are finalists of the SIBUR Young Specialists Forum

The qualifying stages of the SIBUR Young Professionals Forum, which is being held for the first time under the auspices of the CASE-IN International Engineering Championship, are in full swing. Employees of the company's enterprises in different cities of the country have developed and are already presenting their original projects, competing for the main prizes of the season. Employees of POLYEF JSC also joined the fight for a ticket to the finals.

The qualifying stages of the case-solving competition for real production tasks brought together more than 600 specialists from the company's enterprises. They develop and present their solutions on a single topic "New development vectors". The winning team of each stage advances to the finals, which will be held at the SIRIUS Center in Sochi.

The Director General of ANO "Russia – the land of Opportunities" sent a parting message to the project participants Alexey Komissarov: "You work in a rapidly developing industry and in one of the most innovative companies in Russia. This places high demands on you: you are expected not only to have professional knowledge and skills, but also to constantly develop and be ready to learn. Your forum brings together representatives of 11 companies of the company, and this is a great chance for you to "upgrade" and prove yourself. But the forum is not just a competition, but also teamwork, an exchange of ideas, an opportunity to meet colleagues from different regions, feel like a common SIBUR team and make new friends in different cities."

Eight teams of young specialists from POLYEF JSC in the Republic of Bashkortostan also demonstrated their innovative projects.

In his welcoming speech to the participants of the stage, the General Director of POLYEF JSC Evgeny Semenko He focused on the development opportunities for different generations of industry workers.: "If there were no such projects in our time, and we were forced to find and master new material ourselves, then today, thanks to the Forum, you have the opportunity, communicating with colleagues and managers, to delve into the problem and create a unique solution. Take full advantage of this opportunity and don't miss the chance to make a name for yourself."

The projects of the industry youth were evaluated by an expert commission, which included the company's leading specialists.

The Storm in SIBUR team was recognized as the best. The winners Alla Yemets (captain), Rinat Khaliullin, Igor Nurlygayanov, Andrey Bodylev, Danil Litovskikh proposed solutions that would reduce the loss of the main product and reduce the burden on auxiliary production.: These are digitalization tools, equipment, and management activities.

"In 20 days, we have built a strong team, we have improved our technology skills, and we have gained knowledge on how to digitize the processes we face on a daily basis., - says the captain of the triumphators Hello Yemets. – We especially appreciate the practical significance of the Forum, because each of the teams will continue to work on the case in order to use it in a separate department in the future. During the defense, our supervisors advised us to look at the problem from all sides and not focus on one solution. This advice will be very useful to us in our future work."

Alla Yemets expressed the opinion that the most important thing for a young specialist is not to stop in his development.: "As the leader of the Youth Council and the captain of the team, I can say that it is important for a young specialist to continue to improve his skills and be greedy for knowledge, communicate with more experienced colleagues, undergo training and participate in technology conferences. This is a great opportunity to upgrade your knowledge, immerse yourself in a new direction and meet interesting people."

One of such opportunities, as Alla notes, is the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN". The company's employees annually participate in a prestigious project that allows them to master new competencies and get a boost to career development.  

Chief Engineer of POLYEF JSC, Chairman of the Expert Commission Pavel Romanenko He stressed that at the end of the stage, the company's management was able to see the potential in the participants, which in the near future will help solve the tasks set.: "I think all the teams can equally be considered winners, because the guys have worked long and hard and have prepared high-quality large-scale projects. It is gratifying that the participants realized that the topic of the case is significant for our company both from a psychological point of view and from the economic efficiency side. For the future, I would like to wish specialists to get out of the existing matrix and environment as often as possible, to learn to see the problems more broadly. This will allow us to find several ways to solve the case at once, from which it will be possible to choose the optimal one."

The winner of the SIBUR Young Specialists Forum will be able to participate without passing additional tests in the final of the Autumn Cup of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN", which will be held in Moscow in December 2021.
