Transformation of values of employees of an industrial enterprise based on the Shingo Model

During the transition to a highly volatile cycle of industrial development in Russia the issues of value orientations and real behavior models of the employees become especially important due to the need in further growth of labour productivity. Values, regarded as global mental attitudes, in many ways, determine the employees’ involvement and participation in the activities of the enterprise. Transformation of employees’ system of values, their increasing involvement into the company’s activities and the consequent growth of labour productivity are the basis for the growing product marginality. Within the practical and methodological study in hand the authors define the main stages of the values’ transformation and the basic components of each stage on the example of a machine-building plant. Transformation of the system of values was based on the approaches of a Japanese a practical scientist Shigeo Shingo called the Shingo values pyramid. His methodology has been adapted in the practical study on the real ground of the Russian industrial enterprise PJSC “Cryogenmash†which possesses its own deep scientific roots and academic peculiarity. The authors study the findings and adduce methodological artefacts obtained while creating the model of values and the new behavior model of an employee of an industrial enterprise. The authors suggested using the methodological approach developed within the study to create a book of values of an industrial enterprise. This approach will make it possible to increase the employees’ labour productivity by changing the model of their behavour in work situations.
