Fushun Aluminum Improves Quality and Promotes Operational Transformation

Improving product quality is an important prerequisite for the survival of an enterprise, and it is also an important part of the "Quality Month" campaign. In a certain sense, whether the “Quality Month” event can ultimately achieve its intended purpose depends to a large extent on whether or not the quality propaganda work can penetrate the people’s heart and whether it will really work.

Operational Transformation In the short period of six months since Fushun's enterprises were piloted, promoted, solidified, and standardized, the foundry, a “small branch” with only 139 employees, used operational systems, management structures, concepts, and dynamism to transform operations. The “troika” of the framework (CPS) has drastically driven the complete reform of the operating system and production processes, and has given rise to amazing potential and vitality, and has achieved more than 3 million yuan in annual transformation revenue. With the spirit of constantly surpassing oneself, being brave in innovation, pursuing excellence, and struggling with hard work, we have achieved excellent results in terms of casting costs and shoulders. The foundry produces about 150,000 tons of Pu aluminum this year, and produces about 1,200 tons of aluminum ash annually. The casting expert group is aiming at the original aluminum ash processing process, combined with the significant potential of cost reduction and efficiency increase in the production process, and requires the foundry's Pu aluminum working area. The recovered aluminum ash will be reclaimed solid aluminum, and the rest will be used as electrolytic anode covering material. After trial operation, Pu aluminum ash completely realized the maximum benefit of the treatment method. Only this one can realize annual income of 3.348 million yuan.

Through the improvement of innovative aluminum ash recycling, changes in tape packaging, research models, heat cleaning packages, and enhancement of metal product balancing calculations and assessments for alloy products, the casting costs of Fushun Aluminum have become the vanguard of Chinalco. Optimizing the Management Structure and Promoting the Incentive Mechanism According to the actual situation of the branch and the results of the interview and investigation conducted by the expert group, the foundry continued to strengthen the system construction and promote the incentive assessment of rewards and punishments. Examined and combed the execution rates of various management systems and operating procedures carefully, and conducted interviews and discussions on the phenomena and problems affecting work quality and work efficiency in varying degrees due to inadequate system implementation and non-standard operation procedures. Check, record, discuss. Branch managers are responsible for supervising and assessing the implementation of the system within their areas of responsibility, and the quality of the factory staff conducts random inspections of various process operations, largely reversing the arbitrariness of employees in the past. At the same time, it has researched and formulated corresponding incentive policies to ensure employees' support for operational transformation work and greatly mobilized their enthusiasm and initiative. The use of a single-point tutorial on kanbans and the transition of the squad and the team to visualize the kanban function make the production real-time status at a glance.

The current "Quality Month" campaign has been fully carried out in the company. The maintenance class of the foundry branch of my department is gradually shifting towards refinement, institutionalization, standardization and standardization. The main technical indicators have been continuously optimized. Controlled consumption, significant reduction in costs, optimal combination of maintenance and production, internal product structure, and production process organization tend to be reasonable, and we will work hard to improve product quality and ensure that our operational transformation will continue in a more in-depth manner.
