nantong xingchen’s bisphenol a output reached 8,099 tons in april, overfulfilling the original plan. the bisphenol a department has continued to strengthen infrastructure construction. it set a record in output through refining management and achieved a superior product rate of 93.2 percent while bringing down unit costs by 150 yuan ($24.07) per ton. it has greatly improved the company’s competitiveness in the bisphenol a market.
the achievements are largely thanks to equipment guarantee work. the company’s workshop has been conducting preventive maintenance of key equipment to ensure continuous production and find and solve problems in time. at the same time, it has prepared spare parts for key equipment and replaced items in a timely manner to ensure device operation. employees were encouraged to conduct equipment maintenance to reduce the loss of working hours. in the wee hours of april 26, a hoister’s chain fractured, and team members on duty spent only two hours replacing the chain, thus avoiding production losses.
the increasing bisphenol a output was also a result of the company’s improved basic management. at the beginning of the year, the workshop broke down production indexes, including output and qualified production rate, and clarified individual responsibilities. in this way, all work will be taken care of by special personnel at all hours. the workshop has focused on total production maintenance and 5s visualization management since the second half of last year to maintain a clean environment in unit sites and find and eliminate potential hazards.
the company has also actively advocated to improve employees sense of responsibility . it has set a rigid index of autonomous maintenance to give incentives for employees to deliver quality job performance and targeted smaller units for evaluation. frontline workers are also a focus of the incentive system so they can truly feel the benefits of the workshop management upgrade. the workshop has been able to find and solve problems at the early stage through solid basic management. it has also summed up experiences, laying a solid foundation for outstanding production performance.
