Features of Russian industrial
enterprises functioning, in the terms of instability of the
external environment in crisis and post-crisis periods, reveal the necessity of correctly
forecasting, changes in detailed system of company’s perspectives, development ways and aims,
mechanisms of there realization.
According to a conservative variant of the General Plan of the railway system development
the freight turnover growth provides up to 2.555 trillion ton-kilometers to 2020 (+ 16.3% in
2013), in 2025 up to 2.795 trillion ton-km (+ 27.3% in 2013).
Shipment forecast amount in 2020 will be 1.44 million tons (+ 16.4%), in 2025 -1579 million
tons (+ 27.7%).
The most freight capacity increasing trend predicts at Far East ports, in the North-Western
and Southern regions of Russia. Mostly loaded by 2025 will be sectors of Trans-Siberian line,
overload expects in the Baikal-Amur line.
As expect to 2025, the leaders in shipment will remains the railway transport: the West
Siberian,
Sverdlovski and South-Ural, October, Moscow. Mainly shipment growth expects at the
Far East (almost 2 times), the Privoljski (1,5 times), the Sverdlovski and the Trans-Baikal railways.
In freight structure domestic traffic will prevail, at the same time faster growth of export and
transit shipment traffics are prognosed.
Based on the freight shipments prognosed growth, attaining the state and economy needs
in freight traffic, requires the development of industrial infrastructure, implantation of
innovations, obtaining high-quality and safe products and services, increasing the efficiency of
wagon building companies in generally.
2. Methods
The research results obtained by using methods
of system and logical analysis, consolidation
of management approaches and solutions, methods of scientific classification, comparison
and generalization of objects, factorial approach, economic and mathematical methods for the
analysis of research issues.
Economic preconditions of wagon building industry development in the period of railroad
reform were considered.
The main target of wagon building companies’ activity is a product’s quality parameter.
Currently applies the next quality indicators system of wagon manufacturing and repair:
– an indicator of failure-free operation – a numerical parameter, that indicates the proportion
of products that had no failures for a given operating time or lifetime limit,
expressed as a
percentage (the main indicator);
– the failure line parameter – the relative parameter, that characterizes in the period
under consideration the ratio of products failure to the total number of products (secondary
indicator);
– the MTBF (mean time between failures) – parameter, characterizing the ratio of the total
operating time of products to the number of failures during this operating time, in kilometers
(secondary indicator).
The accidents rate in the wagon fleet remains high. The general are poorly carried current
repair, errors in the preparation of the rolling stock to the current repair, alloy parts breaking in
guarantee period.
Since 2011, the total number of failures in wagon fleet increases. During the period from
2011 to 2014 the average number of violations increased by 22.8%.
Increasing quality of wagon building enterprises products directly related with implantation
of innovations, improvement in technological manufacture processes and structure’s features
of the product, that creates an aim not only for companies in the industry, but generally for all
rail transport sphere, as a strategic purpose of the Transport Strategy of the country.

CONTEMPORARY PROBLEMS OF SOCIAL WORK
The development strategy of the rolling stock manufacturers currently focused on
implementation of innovative technologies to production processes and releasing of innovative
products and services. Companies’ sale profits are used for technical re-equipment of production
facilities, to administrative management
system modernization, to improve products quality,
expanding products line also including innovation activity.
Updates in manufacturers’ strategic programs of past few years are detailed below.
In May 2013, the “Strategy of development of the integrated structure of JSC “Uralvagonzavod””
for the period till 2020 was approved, according to which the main strategic objectives are:
– attain a necessity level of clear profit,
– increase a part of research and development costs,
– increase a part of innovative products sales in total sales,
– increase the rate of production profitability.
Next actions are scheduled in the program of activities: optimizing the organizational
and legal structure of the corporation, establishment a management company, integration
of effective corporate management system, internal control,
risk management, access to new
markets.
In 2015 was developed and approved the structure of a united treasury in JSC “Uralvagonzavod”,
its subsidiaries and affiliates, that implies management centralization of the company’s financial
flows, minimizes the financial risks and operational costs, as well as maximize the profit from
investment actions with available financial resources. A function of the system includes:
– the system of banking partnership, providing optimization of the structure of bank accounts,
– the operational planning and financial flows optimization, including the financial support
planning complex and internal resource planning developing, the available funds invests,
– controlling, as well as realize control of moving fund’s
budget and used limits, control of
payments correctness and timeliness of receipts, actual monitoring and control of receivables
and payables accounts,
– the financial risks management,
– the construction and development of information infrastructure.
The financial transactions optimization and centralization will increase the efficiency of
financial flows management, that makes a positive impact for primary activity of the company
in case of high-integrated enterprise structure.
In general, the company’s development strategy is aims to release the production output
capacity using in full, increased the production output and manufacturing of innovative
products to ensure a dominant position on the market.
JSC “UWC” –
is a company, recently created on the basis of the Tikhvinski wagon building plant,
currently ranks a place among the major market participants. The company’s main strategic aim
is to increase its place on market, o maximize the economic benefits from innovation products
manufacturing.
In addition to innovative rolling stock production, the company engaged to the system
of service centers creation. One of the “UWC” main selling directions is providing wagons for
leases operations, carried by a group of leasing companies Rail1520. Now Rail1520 Company
ranks second among the companies, specialized on rolling stock leasing activities.
Established in 2014, the operating company Vostok1520 provided transportation services,
based
on using rolling stock, granted by “UWC”. During 2014 the operator shipped 2.5 million
tons of cargo; wagon productivity per a day was 10.58 thousand. ton-km., that is almost 2 times
higher, than the average index on market (5.2 thousand ton-km. per day).
The “UWC” has an independent division of risk management, which included to the Financial
Department and subordinated directly to the head of the company. The rolling stock production
risks of the company are divided into next groups:
– the credit risk,
