Students from the Altai Territory will present ideas of lean production in the electric power industry

On March 6, the selection stage of the Student League will be held at AltSTU XII International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" with the support of the presidential platform "Russia – the land of opportunities".

"CASE-IN" is implemented within the framework of the federal project "Social elevators for everyone" of the national project "Education".

In just ten days, AltSTU student teams have developed solutions for the development of the electric power industry and will now present them to experts from industry companies and university teachers.

"The new season of the championship is dedicated to the theme of Lean Manufacturing," says the founder of the championship, co–chairman of the organizing committee of CASE-IN Artem Korolev- today, one of the urgent directions of economic development is to increase efficiency, increase labor productivity, eliminate losses, and implement optimal solutions. The participants of the championship in the XII season are working on the ideas of lean and efficient production. We are waiting for solutions that our industry partners will be able to take note of and apply in their work."

At the initiative of PJSC ROSSETI, the participants of the qualifying stage analyzed the causes and factors that lead to disruption of technological processes in electric networks, under-discharge and loss of electricity, and also proposed a set of technical and organizational measures to improve the reliability of the network and reduce accidents.

The winning teams of the qualifying stage will finalize their decisions and present them in the semi—finals.

The final of the CASE-IN championship will be held in Moscow at the end of May 2024. Youth engineering teams from Russia and the CIS countries will present the final versions of their solutions to the industry community and give away the main prizes of the season. 

The champions and prize–winners of the Student League will be able to enroll in master's and postgraduate studies at 28 universities on preferential terms, complete internships and internships or get a job at partner companies, and take part in industry youth educational forums. The winners will also travel around Russia as part of the "More than a Journey" program.

Engineering cases and other tasks for the participants of the student league are being developed by the partners of the championship: ALROSA JSC, United Company RUSAL JSC, Yakutsk Fuel and Energy Company PJSC, SIBUR Holding PJSC, Unified Energy System System Operator JSC, Gazprom Energoholding LLC,Metropolis, PJSC ROSSETI, JSC NIPIGAZ.

The ideas of the youth will be evaluated by experts from Raspadskaya Coal Company LLC, MHC EuroChem JSC, PJSC RusHydro, Prosoft-Systems LLC, EVRAZ LLC, MMC Norilsk Nickel JSC, MKAO HIGHLAND GOLD, IBM Montan LLC, GAZPROMNEFT LLC.-ENERGOSERVICE, Schlumberger and other companies.

The organizers of the CASE-IN championship are the Reliable Change Foundation, the Non-profit Partnership Youth Forum of Mining Leaders and AstraLogica LLC.

The project is being implemented using a grant from the President of the Russian Federation for the development of civil society.

 "CASE-IN" is implemented within the framework of the federal project "Social elevators for everyone" of the national project "Education".

The CASE-IN Championship is included in the Science to Win initiative and the plan for the Decade of Science and Technology to be held in Russia in 2022-2031.
