This award is given to those who fulfill current tasks with high quality and, most importantly, implement their own significant projects. Today we will tell you about the representatives of the accounting department and the factory boiler house who are on the list of the best workers.

Then, also on her own initiative Daria carried out an inventory of fixed assets at the factory. They counted everything: they made nameplates for each item. The list turned out to be sizeable. Now she is in charge of the Harmony charter project, which is being carried out jointly with Turkish colleagues. It is devoted to the adjustment of reserves and actual accounting in the international SAP accounting program.

Daria Volkova graduated from the famous Timiryazevka (Russian State Agrarian University) in Moscow and received a degree in economics. But she already wanted to become an accountant while studying at the university. She started her career at Beko from scratch as an ordinary trainee. However, already after two weeks she was employed by the accounting department.

She currently works in the cost accounting group and deals with fixed assets, transportation and warranty costs. And she continues to dream of career development. "I want to become a leader. It seems that as a performer I have already hit a ceiling," Daria admits. - Beko is an excellent foundation for career progress. I went through all the stages here, from the trainee to the specialist. This is the place where I have gained invaluable experience and knowledge. And what is more, I really like our team. About 20 people are currently working at the accounting department. Beko has a tradition: we go to mini-corporate parties outdoors several times a year. It is a pity that now due to the coronavirus all events have to be postponed. Hope it's not for long".

Not many people think about this but the normal functioning of the entire factory often depends on the operation of the boiler house. If the boiler house stops then the factory will stop. Therefore, the manager here needs to be a universal specialist: control the performance of the equipment, train his subordinates, deal with the document flow and participate in the operation of the workshops. If we need compressed air, water, sewerage, heating we contact Karavayev regarding these issues. But Ivan has received the "Best Employee of the Year" award not for his routine work. His personal pride is the project to reduce the pressure in the factory compressed air system from 6.5 to 5 bars. In the course of the analysis made by his department it was found that a significant portion of the energy costs is caused by the operation of the compressors. Ivan and his colleagues decided to try to reduce the pressure in the system. For that, a lot of work was done to analyze the equipment in close cooperation with the heads and engineers of the workshops. As a result, Beko saves about 60,000 Euros per year.

Another important contribution of Ivan Karavayev is the chemical correction of the water used at the factory. "As the head of the boiler house, I am responsible for heating, water supply, the cooling system for machines and equipment, supply of compressed air, - Ivan said. - The water and air that circulate in these systems must be of certain quality. After all, if we supply excessively hard water into the heating system, deposition will generate in the boilers like in a kettle. The thicker the deposition is the more we will waste gas in order to heat it to the desired temperature. For comparison, in a clean boiler we will spend a thousand cubic meters of gas for these purposes and 1500 cubic meters in a boiler with the scale crust".

Ivan's team recently carried out a major overhaul of equipment in the boiler rooms of Beko dormitories. We washed and repaired boilers, changed pumps and taps. In brief, we did an important job for people.

Ivan Karavayev did not come to a career at Beko right away. After school, he got a secondary technical education at the college in the city of Glazov in Udmurtia. He worked first as an ordinary foreman, then as the head of a boiler room at a small production facility, as a chief engineer. He got a job at Beko as the head of the boiler house at a large factory. Now Ivan Karavayev's plans include the introduction of new technologies and the dispatcher system for the boiler house. "Currently, the boiler house is operated manually," he says. - The operator sees the parameters of the equipment being physically next to it. And we want to make a system when everything will be monitored from the workplace in real time: what equipment is currently working and what indicators it has. Then the work will go even faster and more efficiently."
