the new pumps greatly surpassed the previous analogs in longevity and performance index . 1962 . rd department of the enterprise has developed original gear pumps 67 and 98 known today as 71 and 100 . home industry had never before made such kind of pumps . completely new construction supported by inventors certificate was used for design of the pumps . the design was granted patents in great britain france italy brd . commercial scale manufacture of these pumps started in 1968 . further such pumps became widely operated and well known under the nickname round ones . 1967 . introduced new high capacity gear pumps 160 and 250 . gear pump 250 was manufactured exclusively by jsc hydrosila and up to these days is applied as component of heavy duty tractors made by chelyabinsk and cheboksary tractor works so as dump trucks . 1968 . introduction of unified gear pumps 32 with high longevity . 1972 . introduced series intended for transmission control without breakage of power flow and lubrication of gearings mounted on the new powerful tractors such as 150 150 made by kharkov tractor works 700 made by petersburg tractor works 330 and 500 made by cheboksary tractor works . 1972 . the company produces the whole pump series of own design 2 50 67 71 98 100 160 250 ; a new pump generation for use as components of engines ; and gear pump motors 25 and 50 . the technical achievements of the enterprise were highly estimated by the officials of ministry of tractor and agricultural machinery . thus our enterprise was entrusted with mastering of the production of positive displacement hydraulic drives fundamentally new for the industry of the ussr . 1977 . formed the chief rd department for axial piston units . 1978 . started a new stage on the way of developing more specialized product portfolio . were made first steps on the way of introduction axial piston motors hydrostatic transmission for agricultural machinery under license of sauer sundstrand co. germany . it took hardly two and a half years to manage the production run of hydrostatic transmissions 90 . as result of the research work regarding actual domestic operation conditions in particular because of usage of more contaminated oils or oils of improper quality the design principles of hydrostatic transmission 90 achieved significant advantage . so a more reliable new modification with a prolonged service life was launched to the market . a hydrostatic drive designed on the basis of axial piston hydraulic units and intended for transmitting power from the engine to the running gear with stepless speed and tractive force control is technically refined and updated . until now the hydraulic drive is in great demand among our customers including those from abroad . 1983 . by the order of minister of agricultural and tractor machine building branch the enterprise has been renamed to kirovograd factory of the honor sign order hydrosila . the hydrostatic transmission 90 was granted a state quality mark . in 1990 a new hydrostatic transmission 112 has been designed and tested followed by both variants of transmission and 71 . at that time the enterprise produced yearly millions of hydraulic units . the factory grew into the most known and largest producer of such products in the soviet union which were intended to be supplied as machine components to all large scale tractor and harvester building plants . with the collapse of the soviet union all the ties which have been established over decades broke . the financial system stops to function . appeared numerous customs problems . the purchasing capacity of agricultural enterprises dropped rapidly . the consumer plants of hydraulics reduced their capacity 15 to 20 times . manufacturing at the number of former prosperous machine building factories was stopped and some of the plants even ceased their existence . owing to the system collapse hydrosila factory also underwent the critical fall of its manufacturing capacity . 1994 . on the basis of the factory has been set up the joint stock company hydrosila . the enterprise survived . we managed to preserve the highly qualified staff and material resources . in the second half of 1999 the plant was headed by the new director general mr. yuriy titov and due to taken anti crisis measures the financial situation has been stabilized and a new stage of the enterprise existence started . starting in 1999 the sharp increase of manufacturing capacities development and introduction of a comprehensive quality management system establishing sales network and search of regional partners that were entirely absent earlier when the whole factory s work had been carried out under the multiple purchase order of state planning committee . there were stated basic strategic goals increasing of manufacturing capacity ; wide developing of the product range ; increasing of products quality ; modernization of machinery and improvement of the techniques in operation ; reduction of process costs ; setting up an effective sales network ; introduction of world standards in the sphere of enterprise management ; development of social environment and favorable conditions for personnel ; strengthening of the leading position in the market of hydraulics among the cis and baltic countries economic activities were set as the main results of the work of the plant in a whole and of each department . there were introduced financial planning and control of financial downstream . the management system was restructured with purpose to meet the requirements of modern strategic management and wide computer usage . there continued work at design and introduction of new hydraulic units . to shorten the time of introduction for the first time the preproduction was started just after the initiation of designing . gear pumps of types 50 3 32 3 have been introduced into manufacturing so as the pump 6 equipped with an integrated intake filter and a relief valve . there was developed a long term business plan hydrosila 2005 and started the activities purposed to technical re equipment of the enterprise . special emphasis was placed upon raising the level of the personnel skills and education level especially regarding of executive staff and top managers . the staff of top managers is systematically renewed . in the first half of 2000 manufacturing capacity and sales volume grew twice in comparison with the first half of 1999 labor productivity increased 2.15 times balance sheet profit became 5.56 times as many and average salary increased 1.5 times . for the first time there were commercial scale supplies of gear pumps to an assembly line to one of a tractor plants abroad . 3 march 2000 . bureau veritas quality international certified the quality management system of jsc hydrosila in accordance with the requirements of an international standard iso 9001 1994 . the availability of the certificate for the quality management system raised the consumers credit to the products of hydrosila jsc . as the customers needs grow quality requirements change increasing products updating rates leads to the fast readjustment of production programs . the innovations became the key strategic trends of the enterprise development that caused the establishment of an innovation center at the enterprise . 2001 2002 . designed and introduced gear pump 10 3 . in order to increase the capacities for the pump manufacturing so as to improve its production quality there were purchased two 4 coordinate high speed machining centres . in view of strong demand for the most widespread and moderately priced pump design of type have been developed modernized pumps of series with volume displacements of 32 and 50 m2 which due to application of new engineering solutions were a success in essential reduce of metal consuming and the raise of dependability and performance specifications of these pumps . since april 1 2002 management of the manufacturing processes has been realized under mrp ii standard on the basis of information management system erp class baan iv . 2003 2004 . mastered manufacturing of gear pumps 100 4 140 4 150 4 and 180 4 . modernized axial piston pump of type napor equipped with automatic displacement control and hydraulic
