Liangjiang Machinery: Lean Production Reduces Efficiency

Chongqing Liangjiang Machinery Manufacturing Co. (hereinafter referred to as “Lijiang Machinery”) originally arranged 14 air compressors in various regions of the production line to provide gas for production, but still could not meet the gas demand. Later, Liangjiang Machinery unified the management of air compressors and established a network of gas supply pipelines. Only five air compressors can be used to meet the demand for production gas.

It is such a small change that the electric energy consumption of the air compressor has dropped from 258.5 kWh to 143.5 kWh per hour, which can save 200,000 yuan per year.

In order to discover and implement more “small changes”, Liangjiang Machinery began to implement lean production in 2010. In two years, the production cost was greatly reduced. Therefore, the company was also rated by the City Economic and Credit Commission as the model enterprise of 100 small and medium-sized enterprises of management innovation, cost reduction and efficiency increase in the city last week.

Liangjiang Machinery is a world-renowned motorcycle starter manufacturer. As a supporting enterprise, the main engine manufacturer has strict cost control requirements, coupled with various costs caused by the crisis of US debt and European debt crisis, and the profit space is shrinking. Change has become an imminent event. Wang Xianhua, chairman of Liangjiang Machinery, once said in an interview with the media, “Moscow enterprises do not engage in lean production, which is a dead end.” He said without hesitation, his company's implementation of lean production is also a product of the crisis.

Lean production is a set of methods and methods for production organization and management pioneered by Toyota Motor Corporation of Japan in the 1960s. The main management ideas and principles are low-cost, high-efficiency and high-quality production, minimizing the manufacturing cycle. To meet the growing needs of customers. The motorcycle enterprises in Zongshen, Longxin, Jialing, and construction of our city have introduced lean production methods in recent years. However, there are still a large number of motorcycle support companies in the low-level and extensive management stage.

In 2009, when Wang Xianhua visited a number of manufacturing companies in Japan, he discovered that lean production can not only reduce business costs, but also enable workers to liberate workers from high-strength jobs through a rational process design. Working time is shortened, but efficiency is improved. This has the advantage that the liquidity of workers can also be reduced, and problems that could not be solved by a previous salary increase seem to be easily solved. After careful consideration of Wang Xianhua, a consulting company that helps companies implement lean production has become a student.

This school is more than a year.

In 2010, Wang Xianhua established a lean production promotion office at his own Liangjiang Machinery Co., Ltd. and built a dedicated team to reduce costs and increase efficiency.

For example, after improving the overall layout of the workshop's logistics, it can save an area of ​​8261.5 square meters. According to the monthly rent of 13.8 yuan per square meter, this improvement can save more than 100 million yuan each year.

Ma Xiaodong, director of the Lean Production Promotion Office, introduced that the demolition and recombination of some equipment can optimize the process and improve efficiency. Take the packaging process of the product. If the baler is the design center and the balers and the workbench are merged, the worker's work route will be shortened from the original 2.1 meters to 0.8 meters. "Simply put, it is from walking. Steps from 6 to 1 have greatly improved efficiency, saving space and increasing rationality."

Two years later, lean production has gradually become the norm of Liangjiang Machinery. Every month, the company will review the suggestions of employees who reduce costs and increase efficiency. If a certain proposal produces obvious economic benefits, it will give certain rewards.

Wang Xianhua said that reducing costs and increasing efficiency of enterprises do not rely solely on big changes. This small change of tens of thousands is also very important.
