In Mengqiu season, walking into the site of China Nengjian Kazakhstan Xili Cement Company, there is an endless stream of vehicles, roaring equipment operation, and a busy scene.
Kazakhstan's infrastructure boom is surging, but the speed of regional capacity expansion is faster than growth of market demand. Market competition, cost pressure and guaranteed delivery are like "three mountains" in front of us. Xili Company did not shrink back, but faced up to the difficulties and handed over a heavy answer sheet with a beautiful "breakthrough":
in August this year, the cement sales volume hit a new monthly high since the establishment of the enterprise; the business income and profit exceeded the schedule plan; the operating efficiency reached the best level since the establishment of the enterprise. Where do the
brilliant achievements come from? The answer is hidden in three tough battles.
In the
face of fierce competition, Xili Cement Project strives to build a characteristic brand of "stable strength, excellent performance, good service and new materials", focusing on product innovation and cultivating new benefits with new products; Grasp the quality upgrade, develop the market with excellent quality, and continuously enhance the core competitiveness. In the
second quarter of this year, in response to the urgent needs of local oilfield customers, Xili Company set up a special working group. After two months of repeated tests and concentrated research, it has successfully developed sand oil well cement and become the first local enterprise in Kazakhstan to produce this product.
"In the past, the sand oil well cement used in local oil fields mainly relied on foreign imports.". Now it realizes localized production, supplies more timely and stable, and fills the gap of local products. Lu Ming, Director of Project Sales Department, said, "This year, we will also promote the development of different types of oil well cement and concentrate on building a gold-lettered signboard of oil well cement."
It's not just oil well cement. In recent years, Xili Company has been running fast along the market trend, giving full play to its own resource endowment, hatching asphalt mineral powder, low-alkali cement , nuclear power cement and other sub-products successively, and an increasingly full "product matrix" has been formed. One more card means one more growth curve; one more product means one more market discourse power.
While iterating new products, Xili also synchronously promotes the "double improvement" of physical quality and service quality, giving priority to product stability. Lu Ming said, "Compared with local counterparts, our products have stable strength, small fluctuations and consistent construction performance, which is also one of our core advantages to win market recognition." Since
this year, the company has launched a special action to improve quality, from the acceptance of raw materials, the whole process of production control to the cement factory, the whole chain strictly controls each process; The overseas marketing departments go deep into the terminal market, improve the liaison mechanism, pay a return visit to the old customers "how to use it", dock with the new customers "how to use it best", and provide customers with feasible technical solutions. In July this year, Xili Company won the local "Best Industrial Product Award" again, and its quality brand won high recognition in the market.
In recent years, local prices have risen, upstream raw materials, railway transportation, electricity and other costs have continued to rise, reducing costs and increasing efficiency has become a key battle to ensure efficiency.
"Faced with cost pressures, we insist on tapping potential inward and working hard on lean management." Chen Jie, Director of Production Department of Xili Company, said, "We fully mobilize the creativity of workers in China and Kazakhstan, and play a combination of boxing around" increasing production, reducing consumption and improving quality "to reduce production costs in an all-round way."
At the production end, the Company carried out special technical transformation of the kiln system, continuously strengthened the management of pre-homogenization, material selection and batching, and maintained the selection of high-quality limestone and raw coal. The average daily output of clinker increased by 116 tons year on year, maintaining a leading position in the same type of clinker production line.
On the energy consumption side, the process parameters were refined, the process operation was optimized, the frequency conversion transformation of auxiliary equipment was promoted, the start-stop management standards of each system were clarified, and the power consumption per ton of cement process decreased by 3.19 kWh compared with the same period last year.
At the quality end, the clinker strength increased by 0.6 MPa and the cement clinker blending ratio decreased by about 6% year on year by using phosphorus slag ingredients, homogenizing with arc valve discharge and regularly calibrating grinding AIDS.
At the operation end, the scope of all kinds of regular inspection and measurement equipment was framed, the daily inspection was done well, the hidden dangers were eliminated in time, and the temporary shutdown rate of kiln failure decreased by 0.88% year on year. Behind
a group of figures is the continuous refinement of the granularity of production management. Next, the company will introduce intelligent palletizing, automatic bagging and loading technologies to build a more competitive cost control advantage by improving the level of intelligence. Speed
to synergy, from "pressure superposition" to "power multiplication"
to refresh the record, not only to "produce", but also to "deliver". Xili Company has many kinds of products, with a sales radius of 1500 kilometers, which puts forward extremely high requirements for production organization and delivery efficiency. Since the beginning of summer, the highest local temperature has approached 47 degrees Celsius, which has added a severe test to the work of guaranteeing supply.
Faced with the continuous growth of orders, Xili Company strengthened the cooperation between various departments and external cooperative units, compacted tasks to teams, decomposed indicators to individuals, and refined objectives to daily, and launched a battle against high temperature and guaranteed shipment.
All Chinese employees take the lead in setting an example and are on duty in shifts 24 hours a day to solve emergencies in all links at the first time, so as to ensure safe and stable production, smooth access to the factory and timely delivery of products. The manufacturing and loading system establishes a rotation inspection system to ensure the efficient and stable operation of the grinding system, and efficiently complete various operations such as variety conversion, product packaging, shipment and delivery. The logistics system optimizes the process of wagon planning, accurately calculates the demand for transport capacity, communicates with train stations in time, synchronously coordinates transport planning, transport capacity allocation and unloading at stations, and further improves the efficiency of wagon operation.
The project labor competition is also being carried out in full swing, and the incentive mechanism of "practical work to create efficiency and reward for overproduction" has been implemented, so that practical work can get tangible returns, which has set off a strong atmosphere of working hard in the third quarter and winning the second half, and has achieved great benefits with "small indicators".
"The more overproduction, the better the target is completed, and the more rewards the competition will be.". Everyone is thinking and working hard together, and they are full of energy. Abu Zhao, a Kazakh employee, said.
From filling the gap of local products to the breakthrough of sales volume against the trend for three consecutive months; from careful calculation on the production line to jointly guaranteeing supply under the high temperature of nearly 47 degrees Celsius, Xili Company has achieved the "acceleration" of production and operation in the overseas market by innovating to open up the market, improving efficiency by management and guaranteeing performance by cooperation. Half of the people who
travel a hundred miles are ninety. In the next step, Xili Company will continue to adhere to the high goal orientation, grasp the current operation on one hand, lay out the long-term development on the other hand, and strive for greater business increment and efficiency improvement.
