Belarusian Autoworks (BelAZ trademark) has plans to outsource works to Russia and Kazakhstan, First Deputy Director General for Technical Policy and Innovative Technologies of BelAZ Oleg Stepuk has told reporters, BelTA has learned.
“Taking into consideration that it is pretty hard now to get cash for the products sold, the company decided to focus on outsourcing. We have some relevant experience in Belarus: the other day our BelAZ-Service started outsourcing works to Mikashevichi. The first days of operation demonstrated pretty good economic results. Outsourcing has proved efficient in South Africa where we have about 40 vehicles. Now we are focusing on outsourcing operations in the Russian Federation and would like to do the same in Kazakhstan,” Oleg Stepuk said.
The company clarified that classical outsourcing is meant, i.e. the use of external sources. In this case, a consumer does not buy vehicles, but approaches either a manufacturer or a carrier and pays money for the service he receives.
Oleg Stepuk spoke about the company\'s efforts to implement an upgrade program and set up new production facilities. The program was launched in 2011 and will be completed in 2015. In line with this program, $440 million will be spent on constructing new production facilities and renewing equipment. For example, a new production facility occupying 23,800 square meters was commissioned in August 2013. The total amount of investments into this production facility made up $52 million, 50% of which was spent on the purchase of cutting-edge equipment.
