Production of ferroalloys in rotary tilting furnaces

The article presents an analysis of methods that can be used for low‑tonnage production of ferromanganese, ferrosilicon and other ferroalloys in the conditions of a machine‑building enterprise using its own waste, including dispersed. It is proposed to carry out the production of ferroalloys in rotary tilting furnaces (RNP) of a new generation, which have maximum efficiency when heating and melting dispersed materials, allow active oxidation and reduction processes and are able to provide the necessary profitability even with small production volumes.

Problems of training engineering personnel in Russia

Mechanical engineering as an industry needs modernizing to maintain a sufficient level of competitiveness. The existing education system is not able to fully provide enterprises with qualified staff. This is due to a gap between the level of knowledge obtained in an educational institution and the enterprise real needs. To bridge the gap, more attention should be paid to personnel training and retraining. The article identifies the problems of educating future engineers, proposes an appropriate set of measures providing for a three-level transformation: at the level of government, regions and enterprises; considers a model for training staff of a machine-building enterprise and also suggests building regional training and internship centres. Such centres will make it possible not only to train workers, to conduct internships for students and employees, but also to provide internships for future engineers, to acquaint them with the production specifics. Such internships will ensure young specialists’ consolidation, allow them to interact more effectively with enterprises, and create for them an additional incentive to stay in the region. Furthermore, a favourable image of a machine-building worker, engineer, innovator, and ordinary worker should be formed.

Intelligent Control of Production Systems

Introduction. The research is devoted to the problem of building intelligent production management systems. They allow organizing modern efficient production without human participation in its management. Problem. To develop a scheme for creating an algorithm underlying the creation of an intelligent production management system, using the example of a mechanical workshop of a machine-building enterprise. Purpose. To present a scheme for constructing an intelligent control of management system (workshop), which is developed based on the application of an intelligent modeling algorithm and the use of a set of knowledge about the subject area. Methods. The main method used in the development of an intelligent control system is the method of intelligent modeling, which is applied to the knowledge of the machine-building enterprise workshop. Result. A diagram of an intelligent shop management system is built based on the use of knowledge that describes this shop. The model of the workshop is proposed. It consists of a system of plans describing the work of the workshop. Not only the production process is planned, but also material and technical supply, resources, and financial management. Plans are built using the scheduling theory. Conclusion. An intelligent management system at an enterprise implies the possibility of management without human participation in the management process. This system is based on obtaining information about the state of all elements of business processes based on the use of cyber-physical systems and the Internet of things.

ENSURING MEASURABILITY OF LEAN PROCESSES

The article examines the problem of measuring and implementing key performance indicators of production units using a specific example of a machine-building enterprise. The analysis is carried out and the reasons that prevent the use of these indicators in management are revealed. The authors propose a method that allows you to change both the motivation of personnel, whose activities are regulated by these indicators, and the direction of information flows for targeted receipt of the necessary management information.
