ZabGU students know how to improve the country's mining industry

9 teams from the Mining Faculty of ZabGU competed for victory in the qualifying stage of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN". This time, the Student League is dedicated to the topic of lean manufacturing.

The strategic partner of the direction is ALROSA, the world leader in the diamond mining industry.

"35 participants analyzed the processes and indicators of sinking operations at the Aikhal underground mine and proposed solutions to optimize them and reduce costs, taking into account the provisions of the lean manufacturing concept. Very interesting proposals have been announced," the organizers noted.

The participants were evaluated by members of the expert commission, including representatives of ALROSA, PPGHO, FORGEO, and the university's partner, Udokan Copper. By the way, many CASE-IN participants receive a personalized scholarship from Udokan Copper, established back in 2022.

"The development of educational infrastructure and support for talented youth are among the priorities of Udokan Medi's social policy. The company will continue to implement the scholarship project and other programs in partnership with ZabGU," said Ksenia Dobrzhanskaya, Head of the Udokan Copper Company's socio—economic cooperation program. Together with Oleg Kharitonov, Head of the Personnel Recruitment and Development Department, they took part in awarding the winners.

As a result, the seats were distributed as follows:

1. The Green Gems team

2. the TechnoMove team

3. Espada team

The winning team advanced to the next stage of the CASE-IN championship. The final is scheduled for the end of May 2024 in Moscow.

The champions and prize–winners of the Student League will receive internships, internships or employment in partner companies, participation in industry youth educational forums and travel around Russia as part of the "More than a Journey" program.
