Rationalization and inventive activity (hereinafter referred to as RIA) in KEGOC is aimed at achieving the strategic goals of the Company in accordance with the Development Strategy of KEGOC and the Innovation and Technology Policy of KEGOC.
The key advantage of RIA is the potential for each employee to participate in this process, which allows you to reduce the period from conception to execution of the idea and cover the maximum number of Company employees.
As part of the RIA, concepts are recognised with the possibility of application in other departments of the Company, and terms for scaling the offer are presented.
The main goals in organizing RIA are:
1) activation of RIA and further development of mass technical creativity of employees of the Company and subsidiaries;
2) increasing the interest of employees of the Company and subsidiaries in the results of their work through moral and material incentives for RIA.
Statistics of rationalization proposals
For the period 2013-2025 295 applications were recognized as rationalization proposals.
Note:
NDC SO - national dispatch center of the system operator;
IEN - intersystem electrical networks.
Types of rewards
Material stimulation of RIA allows to unleash the potential of human capital. The Company's employees are motivated to improve work processes, to find the best options for solving production issues.
The amount of material remuneration for the implemented rationalization proposal is determined in two categories:
1) The first category contains rationalisation initiatives that have no or little economic impact. These are rationalisation suggestions, the implementation of which is predicted to have no economic impact or to have an economic impact of up to KZT 5,000,000 (five million tenge). The payment for first-category rationalisation proposals is calculated in accordance with the RIA Rules and cannot exceed MCI 520 (five hundred twenty monthly calculated indexes).
2) The second category covers economic rationalisation initiatives. These are rationalisation plans, the economic impact of which will be KZT 5,000,000 (five million tenge) or more. The remuneration for rationalisation suggestions in the second category is 20% of the real yearly income / savings, but not more than KZT 10,000,000 (ten million tenge).
The amount of remuneration for rationalization proposals in the period 2020-2025:
The maximum amount of remuneration of 10 million tenge was paid in 2023 for the implementation of the rationalization proposal “Improving the reliability of power supply to the Kostanay power plant” to Sarybai IEN branch of KEGOC.
Within the framework of this rationalization proposal, a technical solution was developed for organizing emergency control automation and organizing the automatic commissioning of additional lines during repair and emergency shutdowns. The economic effect from the introduction of this rationalization proposal is 68 million tenge.
