The finalists of the "CASE-IN" from YSTU will present a solution for the development of the mining industry

A team of YSTU students reached the final of the Student League of the main season of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN".

The guys successfully passed the qualifying stage in the field of "Mining machinery and equipment" (the general sponsor is ALROSA).

When solving the case, the team had a goal to speed up the pit stop process of the Unit Rig MT 3300AC dump truck at the Yubileyny quarry, located near the village of Aikhal. The main condition was the introduction of principles and methods of lean manufacturing, thanks to which the technical and economic indicators of the solution should increase the efficiency of the repair staff.

After analyzing the assignment and the input data from the authors of the case, the team members came to the conclusion that the decision should be formalized in the form of a new distribution and planning of routes for the participants of the technical inspection, provided that the quality of communication between them is improved, as well as increased control over compliance with regulations, safety and labor protection at the pit stop site itself.

The team, called "Career Growth," included polytechnic students Anna Petrenko, Angelina Chekalova and Daniil Kur, and Air Defense cadet Artyom Ogorodnikov. The scientific supervisor was Anton I. Petrov, Senior lecturer at the Department of Construction of Buildings and Structures at YSTU. All university students study at the Institute of Civil Engineering and Transport in the field of Industrial and Civil Engineering.

The final of the championship will be held in Moscow at the end of May at the University of MISIS.
