Career History (S. N. Kishkin, Head of the Training Center, Vyksa Steel Works)

In 1995, after receiving my diploma of mechanical metal-maker from the Nizhni Novgorod State Polytechnical University (daytime course) I took a job as a metallurgical crane maintenance man, Shikhtopokrovy Shop. In June 1998, I was appointed metallurgical crane maintenance foreman.

Upon execution of the agreement for the implementation of the TPO (Total Production Optimization) program at the works in 2002 with McKinsey I was appointed project working group administrator by the Company’s advisors. Following the project scope expansion I was promoted to the position of senior administrator, Directorate for Strategy Development. My next career step at the works was my appointment to the position of a specialist for the Vyksa Steel Works supply system improvement project. My responsibilities included overall cost reduction initiatives (main cost categories), preparing and holding tenders for the purchase of tools, main laboratory equipment, bearings.

Upon completion of the project and positive outcome I was invited by McKinsey advisors to continue our co-operation within the Vyksa Steel Works Functions Labor and Process Efficiency Improvement Project. Based on my project performance I was transferred to the Chusovoy Metallurgical Works for the independent management of similar tasks at the Directorate for Information Technologies.

Upon completion of my work for the Chusovoy Metallurgical Works and my return to the town of Vyksa in February 2005 I was appointed Head of the Vyksa Steel Works Training Center.
