shenyang chemical has made progress in 32 programs for improvements in production and operations since earlier this year.
goals set in more than half of the programs were achieved on time or ahead of schedule and other programs have been promoted in accordance with plans.
the first 10 programs for energy consumption reduction in production and improving product quality involving pvc paste resin and caustic soda, the company’s main products, were completed at the end of june, ensuring annual strategic objectives can be realized.
statistics in the few months show that major indicators appeared stable and most results exceeded expectations. through the project for turning pvc paste resin into side products, 60 tons of side products can be made every month; through the project for reducing per unit catalyst consumption for pvc paste resin, per-unit mercury consumption has been reduced to 1.518 kg/t, lower than the target of 1.636 kg/t; through the project of improving quality rate of psh-30 products, type b viscosity and 24-hour viscosity rates have been raised to 100 percent from 71 percent and 86 percent respectively.
in the second half of the year, shenyang chemical has extended its focus on upgrades from production to business operations, to enhance its overall management level. 22 second-phase projects have been settled, involving sales, supply and finance.
with distinctive features, some projects need cooperation among different departments. the project to reduce purchasing costs of pvc paste resin packaging bags would cut spending by avoiding over-processing and wastes; the project of optimizing pvc paste resin storage management would find out the best allocation, reduce waiting periods of customers and cut transfers by using lean sigma tools to record procedures such as storage and delivery of products; the project of reducing batches of pvc paste resin per box/vehicle in delivery and the project for improving quality stability of psh-30 products are based on improvements of product quality, raise satisfaction rates of clients by increasing pvc paste resin products in each batch to reduce customer complaints caused by excessive product batches in each delivery.
