Layoffs reduce costs, but can they really increase efficiency?

Under the background of declining

demand and overcapacity, the cement industry is seriously involuted. "Cost reduction and efficiency enhancement" has become a hot word in the cement industry. A series of measures, such as layoffs, salary cuts and business adjustments, have been taken in turn. Layoffs reduce costs, but can they really increase efficiency? In the digital age, is there any other means for enterprises to "reduce costs and increase efficiency"?

"Reducing cost and increasing efficiency" is a long-term strategy, simple and crude layoffs can only solve the urgent need at most, and can not create practical value for the healthy development of enterprises.

High growth is no longer, the dividend period ebbs, cement enterprises should focus on advanced productivity to reduce costs and increase efficiency, tap inward development momentum, win with "wisdom" and find the next growth point.

In recent years, the wave of intelligent upgrading of manufacturing industry is releasing huge potential energy. Digitalization and intellectualization have become the inevitable choice to achieve high-quality development of cement industry. The use of 5G, cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence and other new generation of information technology helps enterprises to reduce costs, improve quality, reduce consumption and increase efficiency.

The picture has nothing

to do with this article. Intelligence represents the direction of future development. A large number of leading cement enterprises, such as China Building Materials, Conch Cement , China Resources Cement and Red Lion Cement , have made active efforts to take the lead in the layout, and have made use of industrial intelligent technology to reduce costs and increase efficiency, so as to continuously enhance the competitiveness of enterprises.

Taking China Building Materials as an example, China Building Materials Group has continuously intensified its efforts to build intelligent factories and develop high-end equipment. At present, China Building Materials Group has built 20 new dry intelligent demonstration lines such as Tai'an Zhonglian and Huaikan South, among which the overall technology of Huaikan South has reached the international advanced level, and the comprehensive energy efficiency has reached the international leading level, which can save 39900 tons of standard coal, 53.9 million kilowatt-hours of industrial electricity and 156000 tons of carbon emissions annually; Relative to the national standard restrictions, nitrogen oxide emissions were reduced by 69%, sulfur dioxide emissions by 70%, and dust emissions by 83%.

Faced with the challenges of the market, cost reduction and efficiency enhancement are just needed and opportunities. Grasp the historical opportunities brought by digitalization and intellectualization, drive development by innovation, and promote the industry to move towards a more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly future. At a time when the

industry is facing severe challenges, it is of immeasurable strategic significance and practical utility to actively promote the upgrading of large-scale production equipment and actively promote the energy-saving technological innovation and environmental protection upgrading and transformation of the cement industry, so as to enhance the core competitiveness of cement enterprises and realize the grand blueprint of sustainable development of the industry.

To this end, China Cement Network will hold the 11th China Cement Energy Conservation and Environmental Protection Technology Exchange Conference-Equipment Renewal Forum in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province on June 13-14 . This forum will gather government leaders, industry technical specialist, scientific research institutions, universities, cement enterprises and equipment suppliers to discuss and analyze the practical path of equipment renewal and green upgrading in the cement industry, so as to promote the industry to move towards a more energy-efficient, greener and environmentally friendly future.
