SIBUR has prepared a task for the participants of the "CASE-IN" championship from AmSU

The qualifying stage of the Student League of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" was held at Amur State University. The participants of the competition worked on tasks received from the largest representatives of the industry.

SIBUR, a long—term partner of the championship, also offered its case to future engineers.

SIBUR has been a strategic partner of the CASE-IN championship for 7 years. The company has been supporting the Petrochemistry Student League since 2018, and the School League since 2020. Every year, the company's specialists develop cases for the students and evaluate their solutions. SIBUR representatives are also traditionally members of the competition jury.

"The topic of our case this year is Lean Manufacturing. The participants of the Student League developed a set of activities based on lean manufacturing tools, combining both well-known technologies and new solutions proposed by the participants themselves. The proposed measures should work to improve the efficiency of the business processes of one of the enterprises and be technically and economically sound. Schoolchildren, in turn, will get acquainted with existing lean manufacturing technologies," said Danil Rasskazov, Director of Human Resources at SIBUR.

A case study explaining what SIBUR is like, as well as how the principles of lean manufacturing are applied in the company, was presented by students of Amur State University at the qualifying stage of the championship. In the field of Petrochemistry, future engineers have developed a set of measures to improve the efficiency of business processes at one of SIBUR's manufacturing enterprises based on lean technologies. 

A total of 109 AmSU students took part in the event. In addition to "Petrochemistry", they offered their cases in the areas of "Electric power Industry" and "Geological Exploration". The decisions of future specialists were evaluated by university teachers, as well as representatives of partner companies of the championship.

The winners of the qualifying stage will finalize their decisions and continue the competition for tickets to the finals. It will be held in Moscow at the end of May. The strongest engineering teams from Russia and the CIS countries will compete for the main prizes of the season.

"Every year, following the results of the qualifying stages and the finals of the championship, we invite students to targeted corporate training and to work as employees. In 2019, it was 40 people, and in 2023 it was already 200. All of them have been selected for open positions in the company. Having become employees, graduates of the championship continue to develop and participate in the Forum of Young Professionals already in SIBUR, offering innovative projects and solving production cases aimed at improving the efficiency of enterprises. Systems thinking, the ability to work with big data — the skills that are pumped during participation in the "CASE-IN" — greatly help them achieve successful career development within the company," added Danil Rasskazov, Director of Human Resources at SIBUR.
