A professional skill contest among industrial engineers was held at the forge plant of KAMAZ (part of the Rostec State Corporation).
The contest as usual consisted of two stages. Half an hour was devoted to theory and an hour – to practice. The event was attended by engineers of the technological department of metal pressure treatment and the engineering and manufacturing department of tooling. Each of them received a drawing where it was necessary to determine a detail and describe the technical process of its manufacture.
"The assignments are not very difficult, but they are compiled so that a person could show how deep his knowledge is, what resource-efficient technologies he can offer in his work," said Deputy Chief Technologist Ravil Nizamov.
"We see how interested the guys are," said Kamil Tazeyev, Leading Technologist, commenting not only on the contest, but also on the day-to-day work. "And the factory has something to offer those who want to become professionals in their field: new equipment is being introduced, new methods of stamping are being developed, we are developing the technological processes for making new stamps."
Summarizing the results of the contest, the jury members noted the good level of young industrial engineers' skills, and when it came to mistakes, they were those with which the contestants face rather rarely. The way out is to broaden horizons.
According to the results of the competition, Radik Fakhriev, Eduard Rylov shared first place, and Andrey Serebryakov took second place on the pedestal. All the winners were awarded valuable gifts from the administration and the trade union of the company.
