Реорганизация: как российские авиастроители стали быстрее собирать Ил-76МД-90А

The production of this transport aircraft is planned to increase fourfold in the next two years

At the facilities of PJSC "Il" — Aviastar, the assembly of fuselage sections of this transport aircraft has been improved at all stages. Now, according to PJSC "UAC", detailed assembly takes only 27 days instead of 34, and assembly on the stocks takes 29 days instead of 41.

The period of off-stock assembly has also been reduced: it is now shorter by seven days. To achieve this, the production process is structured as a flow, operating on the principle of a conveyor.

The flow assembly is divided into sequential stages: detailed assembly, large-unit assembly, stock assembly, and off-stock assembly.

The workspace has become more comfortable – additional air connection points have been installed for aircraft manufacturers, and albums with the necessary technical and technological information are placed directly on the stocks, which significantly reduces unnecessary worker movements and waiting times. Racks of paints and varnishes are also placed near each stock. For safety, additional lighting is installed on each stock.

The elements of the fuselage sections thus "move" forward along the production chain, which makes it easy to control and plan the work.

Earlier in late 2023, it became known about the plans of PJSC "Il" – Aviastar to increase the production of Il-76MD-90A transport aircraft fourfold through automation and improved production technologies. The company noted at the time that at least 2,500 new production jobs would be required in the next two years to achieve this result.
