Jinbang Company’s production on Lines 1 and 2 reached record highs in March. In March 2019, Line 1 of Workshop No. 2 achieved a monthly output of 424.679 tons, up 26% year over year, while Line 2 produced 485.199 tons, a 12% increase compared to the same period last year. Throughout the entire month, there were no returns due to production issues. Since Line 1 began operation in 2004 and Line 2 in 2011, both lines have consistently exceeded 420 and 480 tons respectively, with zero production-related returns—marking the first time such outstanding results have been attained. How did they deliver this performance? Walking into Workshop No. 2, one is greeted by a scene of bustling activity: machines rumble, products flow smoothly along the assembly line; batching, blending, extrusion, winding, and coiling—all stages are handled efficiently and orderly by dedicated staff, painting a harmonious and beautiful industrial picture. Within lies the wisdom of the employees, their hard work, and their unwavering dedication—and hidden too is the secret behind record-breaking output and zero returns. Equipment department technicians meticulously maintain the machinery, ensuring its high‑efficiency operation. Production is the harmonious union of people and machines; with production equipment running nonstop around the clock, proper machine functioning is the cornerstone of smooth operations. During March, Line 1 required only two maintenance stops totaling less than ten hours, while Line 2 needed two repairs lasting under two hours. This success owes much to the technicians’ conscientiousness and thorough upkeep of the equipment. The Planning and Production departments strengthened their coordination. Previously, the planning team provided only a day‑by‑day workload schedule, but engineer Chen Kaitian suggested issuing a three‑day plan in advance. Following this recommendation, production staff could group tasks of similar specifications together, significantly reducing the number of times they had to switch between grades, thereby boosting efficiency. This upgrade in management practices was another key factor behind March’s improved output. Team leaders organized and coordinated effectively, conducting timely on‑site inspections to ensure efficient production. Leaders of Lines 1 and 2—including Wang Qinming, Bai Xiaobo, Xian Rixin, Tang Qiaoru, Fan Fuping, and Huang Hongxiang—are among the company’s core personnel. As frontline supervisors, they play a pivotal role in guiding their teams. Just as soldiers charge forward under the leadership of platoon and squad commanders, so too must team leaders act decisively, delivering quality and quantity on schedule. They must constantly patrol their assigned areas, closely observing each worker’s actions, using both eyes and feet to build a robust defense of quality and safety for their teams. Team leaders also place great importance on pre‑ and post‑shift meetings, promptly communicating information with their staff and addressing any emerging issues without delay. These meetings typically take place on Tuesdays and Fridays, though they are not limited to those days—whenever problems arise on the production line, immediate communication with team members follows. They focus on tackling issues at their source. Product quality is closely tied to raw materials; if the materials contain impurities, the final product suffers accordingly. That’s why Huang Hongxiang, leader of Line 2, emphasizes rigorous checks at the batching and blending stations, ensuring that workers accurately measure ingredients according to the recipe and thoroughly clean packaging before loading materials. Japanese management guru Kazuo Inamori once said, “The gods reside in the field; the answers always lie where the action takes place.” Such on‑site oversight reflects the meticulous attention to detail that characterizes both management and technology. With years of experience, several team leaders report being able to spot potential problems at a glance, enabling them to issue timely instructions for adjustments. Deputy Production Manager Chen Zhouyang and Production Supervisor Tan Renzheng, summarizing why there were no production‑related returns that month, repeatedly highlighted the strong sense of responsibility among workshop team leaders, who address quality concerns right on the shop floor. Production staff performed admirably. After hot mixing and processing through twin rollers and conveyor belts, the material transforms into finished products—but this process requires seamless collaboration across all positions. Only highly responsible employees can identify issues and adjust the production rhythm accordingly. To keep things running smoothly, many workers bring their meals into the workshop, eating while monitoring changes in the materials. We cannot help but express our gratitude to these frontline laborers! Regarding employee management, under the guidance of the deputy production manager, the production supervisor balances strictness with encouragement: when problems arise, criticism and even salary reductions may follow, yet at the same time, the supervisor seeks to highlight each employee’s strengths, assigning tasks appropriately and promptly praising progress. A new hire from Liangshan, though less educated, brings considerable strength and a willingness to endure hardship, so he was placed at the blending station. Within less than a month, he was already working independently. Combining firmness with flexibility, emphasizing motivation, and basing rewards and punishments on actual performance—this approach is the foundation of the workshop’s fighting spirit. The achievements of March are the result of the collective efforts of all company employees. We see ample staffing on the production line, the sales department ensuring steady order fulfillment, and warehouse and logistics teams cooperating seamlessly—each link reinforcing the others—to drive improved performance. As market competition intensifies, cost reduction and efficiency gains remain long-term priorities for the company. While March’s results fulfilled interim goals, the road ahead remains long: we must continue to cut costs, boost revenue, increase output, and enhance efficiency without letting up for a moment. By focusing on production, expanding markets, keeping pace with the times, and comprehensively elevating operational management, as long as everyone stays united and strives diligently, Jinbang will forge an even brighter future, further improving its economic performance and making tomorrow even better!!
