Brown energy coal in the Amur Region is mined by opencast methods in the Erkovetsky and North-East mines. In December 2020 Amur Coal enterprises recorded the highest level of labor productivity, it amounted to 240.3 tons per person.
The development of reserves of the Raichikhinsky brown coal field of the Amur Region began in 1932, at the same time the Dalvostugol company was founded, the successor of which is Amurugol JSC.
In 1977 the Far Eastern Coal Production Association Dalvostugol produced a record 14 million tons of coal. Then the average monthly labor productivity was kept at 202 tons/person.
In December 2020 the enterprises of Amurugol JSC recorded a highest labor productivity of 240.3 tons/person. For comparison, in December 2019 this figure was 221.5 tons per person, in 2010 – 126.9 tons/person, in 2005 – 99.3 tons/person.
A significant increase in labor productivity was achieved due to the active implementation of the principles of lean production, changes in the planning system, optimization of work processes and other measures to increase the efficiency of production processes.
“The growth of productivity by 18.2% relative to the planned level is of great importance for the conditions for the development of coal reserves in the Amur Region,” said the Amurugol company.
It should be noted that in order to ensure the growth of labor productivity at medium and large enterprises of the basic sectors of the Russian economy, the May decree of the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin in 2018 approved the national project “Labor productivity and support for employment.” Within the framework of the national project, a set of measures for state support of business is being implemented, which includes expert assistance in optimizing production processes. The implementation of the national project in the Amur Region is planned for 2022.
At the same time, systematic work to increase operational efficiency at the enterprises of Russian Coal in the Amur Region has been underway for several years. Amurugl employees are active participants in the Lean Production corporate program, thanks to their rationalization proposals, the efficiency of production processes of coal mining enterprises increases.
