What do I do

I bet most of you wonder what Dmitry does at his work? OK, I'll tell you. But first, let me briefly describe our company's orgchart. Mainly, Sukhoi Civil Aircrafts Company consist of Directorates. They, in their turn, are divided into Departments.

There's a Directorate which is responsible for the whole process of aircraft deliveries. There are three departments in this Directorate, and one of them is the Customer Introduction Department. That's where I work.

I'm very glad and proud to work in this department, actually, this was my dream for a couple of recent years. You can see now why I traded-off Boeing for Sukhoi.

My department is responsible for the customer introduction process. We have customer engineering department here, too, but they're in charge for more general things like options management, maintaining configuration specification manuals etc.

My current assignment is to coordinate technical requirement to LOPAs with our interior design engineers. I'm also is responsible for cretaion of an enterprise standard for LOPA process flow. And... for the whole customer introduction process, too. :-)

Despite Sukhoi Civil Aircrafts is not brand new company and is ready for the first SSJ 100 rollout we're still missing full definition of some processes, like customer introduction. That's why I feel myself challenged and right in my place. And I'm very greatful to the Boeing company, because everything I know I have learnt at Boeing.
