Abstract:

The study envisages the organization of a laboratory allowing for an analysis, evaluation and engineering of both existing processes (technological, logistics, management) at industrial enterprises and their transformation from the standpoint of digitalization, productivity, project-orientation and efficiency. The Digital Transformation Lab formation will provide: increase in the number of integrated structures established in the framework of partnership between the Laboratory and industrial enterprises - manufacturers of high-tech equipment and machinery, companies united in metallurgical, radio-electronic and IT clusters, other universities, scientific organizations, authorities and business. Due to this, a significant qualitative leap in scientific knowledge will be achieved, that allows to open new avenues necessary for the breakthrough development of the leading sectors of the economy; conducting fundamental and applied research, R&D development and technical innovative works for enterprises; an increase in the number of University’s partners due cooperation with small and medium enterprises; successful development of NUST MISiS as one of the basic elements of innovation system that optimally uses its infrastructural capabilities for achieving the successful knowledge transfer into business; providing access to modern technology through the development of specialized and multisectoral centers for the collective use of scientific equipment and, as a result, facilitating the budgetary revenues generation from increasing production volumes, preserving the production potential of enterprises; creation of new jobs for highly qualified personnel and expansion of qualified personnel training.
