An art glass manufacturer from Krasnodar has accelerated the process of decorating bottles

The Unipack company summed up the results of its participation in the national project “Labor Productivity”. The enterprise was visited by the Minister of Economy of the Krasnodar Territory Alexey Yurtaev.

– Over the six months of operation, the enterprise managed to increase production, inventories and the number of defects were significantly reduced. In general, production has good performance and there is great prospects for import substitution. Today, Kuban business is involved as much as possible in the national project “Labor Productivity”. Already 297 enterprises are its participants. We see the result for production and for the economy of the region as a whole,” noted Alexey Yurtaev.

Specialists from the Regional Competence Center have developed their own process improvement system for the enterprise. Bottle decoration was chosen as a pilot stream for introducing improvements. The product share of this stream is 95% of total revenue.

Together with the enterprise’s working group, experts carried out diagnostics and identified problems such as long processing times, a lot of manual labor, and irrational use of space. Thanks to the introduction of lean technologies, the decoration process was optimized. As a result, the process time was reduced by 61%, the quantity of products produced was increased by 20%, and the stocks in the flow were reduced by 31%.

The Unipack company is one of the country's leading enterprises in the field of artistic glass surface treatment. Operates on the market for more than 15 years.
