UMMC has calculated the economic effect from the implementation of the transformation program in the first quarter of 2021. Nine enterprises of UMMC together brought the company an additional 2.7 billion rubles, exceeding the plan by 500 million rubles. Contributions were made by: Chelyabinsk Zinc Plant, Siberia-Polymetals, Nova Zinc, Kuzbassrazrezugol (branches of Bachatsky, Kaltansky, Krasnobrodsky and Taldinsky), Cable Alliance Holding (Electrocable Kolchuginsky Plant), Uralelectromed , Gaysky GOK, Uchalinsky GOK and Sredneuralsky copper smelter.

In the first three months of this year, the teams of the enterprises developed and successfully implemented 237 initiatives aimed at increasing productivity and reducing costs. Employees who participated in the development and implementation of the initiatives received additional bonuses in the amount of five percent of the amount of the achieved economic effect. The size of the bonus fund amounted to 147.6 million rubles, more than 6.8 thousand employees were awarded.

One of the most impressive initiatives in terms of economic effect - 237.5 million rubles - was implemented at the Krasnobrodsky Coal Mine branch of the Kuzbassrazrezugol company. Here it was possible to reduce downtime associated with scheduled preventive work. For this, development department engineers have developed two regulations: one - increases the motivation of maintenance personnel to perform operations quickly and efficiently, the other - optimizes the process of preparing equipment for shutdown before scheduled repairs. The initiative will increase the working time fund by 105 hours per year.
