Rationalization comprises proposals aimed at using existing production resources and technologies more efficiently. Such measures can simplify processes, reduce unnecessary labor, and increase productivity of equipment and installations. Most importantly, by introducing improved technologies into industry, substantial savings in energy, raw materials, and time can be achieved.

At AMMC – one of the world’s leading copper-producing enterprises – a functioning mechanism is in place for receiving, reviewing, and implementing rationalization proposals.
