RUSAL BUSINESS- SYSTEM
United Company RUSAL, the world’s largest producer of aluminium and alumina, aspires
to become the most efficient corporation in the aluminium industry. In order to
achieve this goal, the company needs to adopt new approaches and a new philosophy.
The top management of the company sees the key to the solution in building its own
production system, called RBS (the RUSAL Business System).
RBS is a system of creation and search, selection and implementation of the best
practices, on the basis of which the Company will achieve its strategic goals, maintain
its long-term growth, and its high level of competitiveness. RBS is a system, built
by specialists and experts from within the Company, which takes into account the
features of our business climate, culture, people, their knowledge, expertise and
capabilities.
Such a system cannot be bought or copied.
RBS has two main workstreams:
- Production System, which is currently based the on
developments and achievements of the ‘RUSAL Krasnoyarsk Performance Improvement
Project’
- Company Management System, which we are designing
and implementing at our headquarters and in our divisions as part of a key project;
‘the Effective Company Management System’

installation of 18 new pots, increase of amperage, upgrade of scrubbers and improvement
of baked anode production technology. In February 2004, the first stage of modernisation
of the casthouse was completed. Hydro supplied the Sayanogorsk smelter with ingot
casting equipment. In May 2006, a new casting unit was put into operation with the
capacity to produce up to 192,000 tonnes per annum of high-quality extrusion billets.
