One of the most impressive initiatives (237.5 million rubles) was implemented at the Krasnobrodsky coal mine. The company was able to optimize its performance through the implementation of employee motivation programs and the optimization of the process of preparing equipment for shutdown before scheduled maintenance, thereby increasing the effective working time by 105 hours per year.
