Enhancing Efficiency and Reducing Costs: Taiyuan Heavy Industry Forges Ahead wit
August 15,2026
Reducing costs and increasing efficiency is about solidly forging cost competitiveness. This competitiveness is not about indiscriminately "saving," but about scientifically "calculating" and seriously "managing." Recently, the casting and forging branch company has presented a tangible report card on cost reduction and efficiency enhancement. Since 2026, the cumulative cost reduction has exceeded 20 million yuan.
Behind the achievements is the sense of responsibility where everyone carries targets on their shoulders and keeps detailed accounts in their hearts. Faced with the continuous rise in raw material market prices and the repeated increases in the prices of precious alloys, these "roadblocks," the casting and forging branch company did not wait or rely on others. Relying on the furnace material SBU special team, technical, manufacturing, and procurement backbones joined forces to tackle challenges and fight in coordination, focusing on "optimizing furnace material structure" and "streamlining internal resources." How can returned materials maximize value recovery? Can the frequency of medium-frequency furnace use be increased? Can the recovery rate of precious alloys be further improved? For every question raised, the team follows up with a set of countermeasures. They repeatedly arrange production and conduct experiments, with the utilization rate of 20-ton medium-frequency furnaces continuously improving and the proportion of returned materials replacing alloys steadily increasing.
Cost reduction and efficiency enhancement appear to be about technology on the surface, but deep down, it's about attitude, and ultimately, responsibility. With a stronger sense of responsibility, everyone in the branch company re-examines every process and optimizes every detail in their positions. The rotor of the generator achieves "one forging and one drawing," the weight reduction of steel ingots for rolling mill rolls is successful, the temperature of steel ingot hot transportation continues to be optimized, the production efficiency of press linkage is becoming increasingly stable, and the precise scheduling during valley electricity periods... From furnace material ratio to production scheduling, from technological upgrades to energy control, from procurement sources to process connections, these seemingly insignificant "attention to details" have all squeezed out room for cost reduction through meticulous calculation.
Deeply cultivating lean management, the company will take multiple measures to continuously enhance cost competitiveness, effectively transforming good experiences and practices into the company's development advantages and market winning edge.
