Productivity is difficult

Industrialists and the authorities agreed to work together Kemerova
Director of Kemerovo enterprises create an association of industrialists.
This idea's in the air a long time and now, finally, gained a real form. The purpose of unification is not only in creating Kemerovo lobby of industrialists at the city level. Planned that the Association will decide and socio-production problems - whether it be a shortage of qualified personnel or nedozagruzhennost production facilities.
For urban local authorities association of industrialists also very positive development, because the municipality is interested not only in timely tax payments to the budget, but also employment of urban population in the Kemerovo enterprises.
It should be remembered that the processes of unification on the basis of branch in our area have recently intensified markedly. For example, in the same chapter in the city of Kemerovo already operates several years Council for Small Business Support and Development, which helps local businesses to overcome administrative barriers. A field-level club recently organized machine builders, which solved the problem of this industry. Therefore, the appearance of Kemerovo Association of Manufacturers, according to deputy head Viktor Smolyago a city, quite in keeping with the spirit of time, because all finally realized that alone may be unlikely to resolve serious issues.
On the other hand, enlist the support of city authorities - never inhibit, and often close cooperation can bring tangible benefits. Indeed, for example, the chemical companies, which in Kemerovo - most are very similar problems. Joke Is, many of them have more than one bankruptcy and did not shut down production. Needless to say, that without the losses did not cost? Of course, now no longer the danger when the company could easily "go under the hammer". But this is no reason to relax. For example, our region's remoteness from major markets adversely affected the competitiveness of enterprises Kemerovo. A lack of state support for domestic producers of chemical products makes it more vulnerable in comparison with foreign companies.
Here is just one example. Our businesses because of its modest financial circumstances do not buy equipment in most developed countries and in China. Meanwhile, factories Podnebesnoy not lavish on the purchase of advanced technologies from abroad and to acquire the newest equipment from the Germans and Britons. And then we contrite about the fact that the Chinese will soon cost us in all positions, including in the chemical industry…
Special topics - inflation, rising wages and catastrophic shortage of workers
hands. Today, when there are jobs needed raw materials and equipment, most industrial capital of Kuzbass loaded at 40-45 per cent. The absurd situation, and this must be done. Perhaps the Industrialists Association in conjunction with the city solve the problem of power shortage "blue collar". True, as claimed by local leaders ssuzov, more than half of graduates of secondary vocational schools simply can not settle their profession, while most businesses lack expertise in the field of industrial production. The reason is banal - lack sufficient experience and skills among young people. For their part, leaders complained that because of rising inflation, they are forced to constantly raise wages, while labour productivity remains at the same level. And it does not change because people are working on obsolete equipment, which is impossible when all desire "vyzhat" high productivity. That's produced a vicious circle that needs to be tear.

They employ about 43 thousand people - nearly a quarter of able-bodied population of the city. By volume production Kemerovo took 4 - first place among cities SFO.
