Ningbo Baoxin, with the drive of "starting is a decisive battle, starting is a sprint", focuses on value creation and annual goals, with a production of 192000 tons in the first quarter, setting a new historical high; Sales increased by 8% year-on-year, and structural optimization achieved a total profit increase of 942% year-on-year, winning a "good start" to the first quarter and laying a solid foundation for the completion of the annual target tasks.

——Focus on breaking through difficulties and unleashing production potential

Coordinated production and aggregation power, hotline strives to achieve record breaking results

The Annealing Intelligent Manufacturing Center actively mobilizes all employees of the 3AP unit to control the production increase of the unit as an important daily matter. Faced with the challenge of aging equipment in 3AP units, with technological innovation as the core, we optimized equipment maintenance strategies, resulting in an 84% reduction in downtime compared to February, a 38% reduction in production deceleration time, and an 11% reduction in steel grade switching time. In March, the operating rate of the 3AP unit was 90.72%, and the production capacity was exceptionally high, with a total of 69164 tons of production capacity reaching a historic high.

Cracking the technical difficulties and steadily increasing the efficiency of the rolling mill

In response to the challenges of uniform thickness reduction, frequent narrow slits, and edge cracks, the Steel Rolling Intelligent Manufacturing Center, in conjunction with the Technical Quality Department, has launched a special research project to optimize rolling process parameters and strengthen process monitoring. By introducing an intelligent detection system, edge crack defects are accurately identified and repaired, ensuring stable output of high-end products such as track steel, hard steel, and precision strip steel, and stable monthly production capacity.

Break through bottlenecks, reduce inventory and increase efficiency

The precision center aims for "ultimate efficiency" and breaks through the bottleneck of production capacity through measures such as optimizing the shift and scheduling of leveling units, shortening the handover time, etc. The pre leveling inventory decreased by 24% year-on-year in February, driving the inventory of finished products to decrease by 11% and significantly improving logistics turnover efficiency.

Focus on labor competition and enhance profitability

The Precision Strip Steel Business Department has launched a labor competition called "Striving for 2025 and Improving Precision Profitability". The product marketing team has gone deep into the front line of the market, delved into user needs, and exceeded the futures order plan. The futures order volume has increased by 53% year-on-year, and all production lines are operating at full capacity. The board throughput has repeatedly reached new highs, and the precision product inventory and sales volume have increased by 36.4% and 36.1% respectively year-on-year, achieving both strong production and sales, and significantly improving business performance.

——Collaborative efforts between production, sales, and research to ensure efficient production

Accurately connect with the market, build a solid foundation for raw materials and orders

The marketing center fully leverages its leading role, closely connects with customer needs, strengthens contract fulfillment, and achieves a key contract delivery rate of 94.01%. Faced with the dual challenges of the shortage of white leather in the factory in January and the Spring Festival holiday in February, the team has locked in high-quality raw material resources in advance, optimized the procurement pace, ensured timely delivery of raw materials, and provided solid support for the full load operation of the production line. In response to the increase in orders for high-end steel grades, the marketing center has collaborated with the safety production department to adjust the production schedule and ensure market demand.

Collaborative efforts to tackle challenges and establish a solid foundation for quality

The Technical Quality Department and the Safety Production Department work closely together to control the quality of raw materials from the source, optimize the process flow, and provide a source of power for optimal production scheduling. By establishing a graded disposal mechanism for raw material defects and optimizing the disposal plans for BN4 and 410L, precise quality control is achieved to safeguard effective production capacity and high-quality products.

Ningbo Baoxin has overcome numerous obstacles in the stainless steel market, with a focus on quality, extreme efficiency, and innovation driven development. Through repeated trials and tribulations, Baoxin has continuously honed its shining edge, greatly improving production capacity and efficiency, doubling precision sales, continuously enhancing innovation capabilities, optimizing its structure to create value, and continuously polishing the high-end brand of "Baoxin Stainless".
