63 youth teams will present solutions for lean manufacturing at Russian enterprises

More than 3,000 schoolchildren, students and young professionals took part in the Autumn Cup of the International Engineering Championship CASE-IN with the support of the presidential platform "Russia – the land of opportunities".  The contestants have developed solutions to implement the principles of lean manufacturing in Russian enterprises, and 63 teams - the authors of the strongest solutions - will present their ideas at the finals of the Autumn Cup in Moscow on December 9.

The competitions of the Autumn Cup of the CASE-IN championship were held in four leagues – the School League, the Student League, the League of Working Specialties and the League of Young Professionals.  For three months, youth teams in the regions of Russia have been developing solutions to engineering case studies on topics relevant to the Russian industry.

Thus, the participants of the largest league, the Student League, were given tasks by three companies at once: ALROSA, SIBUR and the United Metallurgical Company. The students analyzed the processes of maintenance and repair of excavators, searched for resources to launch a pipe-electric welding mill, and developed logistics for the delivery of petrochemical products.

In turn, the students solved the case of the SEZ "Alabuga", dedicated to the creation of the production of printed circuit boards.

In the League of Working Specialties, students from colleges and technical schools analyzed technological chains and offered replacement equipment using 3D printing, as well as created flying and surface unmanned vehicles.

The most experienced participants, young specialists, developed options for applying the principles of "thrift" in their enterprises in order to preserve and increase the value of core products. 

On the day of the finals, the teams will present their solutions to experts, and the authors of the strongest solutions will receive awards – invitations to internships and internships for students, additional USE points for schoolchildren, professional and career growth for young professionals.
