Vladimir DAUT, PJSC Metafrax General Director:
- For the company, the workforce productivity is not end in itself: we mount and operate the highly automated units of great capacity, they are served by several people. Our company is very advanced, and the term “pecuniary performance per one employee” is more suitable for us. So, in fifteen years, three urea-formaldehyde concentrate (UFC) units, two concentrated formalin and hexamine units have been put in operation, the methanol production capacity has grown to 1 million ton, but the maintenance staff wasn’t increased.
During the pentaerythritol production modernization, the process capacity had been doubled: the output volume had reached 24 thousand ton per year, but the pentaerythritol sector personnel had been insignificantly increased compared to the recent period, when 10 thousand ton of product were produced the shop. Currently, we are putting the natural gas partial oxygenation unit in operation in the methanol shop to increase the product output by 180 thousand ton per year. However, here, the staff remains to be the same.
According to our calculations, after 2020, after putting the Ammonia-Urea-Melamine (AUM) Complex into operation, the performance per one employee will be visibly increased. Besides the point, growth of the professional level of employees is also a step to the workforce productivity increasing, and in the company, we purposefully and actively work with this important matter.
