On November 20, the "Roads of the Future" professional excellence competition in lean manufacturing concluded. The "Podorozhnik" team from the Automobile and Road Construction Faculty of St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering took first place.

The competition was organized by the St. Petersburg State Autonomous Institution "Human Resources Center" with the support of the St. Petersburg Committee on Labor and Employment and aimed to develop skills in organizing the production process. The tasks were designed so that participants would gain practical experience in applying lean manufacturing tools and understand how these tools impact operational and economic performance.

Eight teams from seven educational institutions participated in the competition. The winning team was a combined team of students from our university's Faculty of Automobile and Highway Engineering, majoring in "Highways" and "Transport Process Technology." The team included Angelina Ananenko, Diana Kalinina, Alina Karnaukhova, Violetta Kokurnikova, Sofia Prokudina, Ksenia Tatarinova, Irina Shishkina, and Maria Shlyakhova. The team's mentor and curator was Maria Klekovkina, PhD in Engineering and Associate Professor of the Department of Transport Systems and Road and Bridge Construction.

The students demonstrated in-depth knowledge of organizing various stages of the production cycle, as well as skills in analyzing and evaluating the effectiveness of process optimization. All competition participants received not only diplomas and valuable gifts from the event's partners, but also internship offers with potential for future employment. Congratulations to the winners!
