On September 29th, the "Lean in Heart, Practice in Action" Lean I Leading Case Sharing Conference was held at the Donghua Technology Building Conference Center. Weng Hongbing, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and General Manager of the company, gave a concluding speech, Chi Benbin, Deputy General Manager, delivered an opening speech, and Qin Rong, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of the Labor Union, shared and commented. Vice General Manager Zheng Hao, Chief Engineer Song Wei, Chief Accountant Zhang Yuling, as well as the Lean Management Office, Lean Management Expert Group, and key leaders of various departments' party and government work teams attended the event.

This sharing session aims to implement the requirements of the Party Group of the Group Company, promote the dissemination of lean management concepts and exchange of practical experience within the company, effectively enhance the company's lean management and value creation capabilities, and build a lean culture atmosphere of continuous improvement.

Nine contestants from Manufacturing Department 1, Manufacturing Department 2, Coating Department 2, Process Research Institute, Design Institute 1, Civil Ship Design Institute, Power Station Company, and Valve Company took the stage one by one to share their respective practices and achievements in promoting lean management.

Weng Hongbing summarized the sharing session around keywords such as "touching, spreading, persistence, tools, and collaboration". He pointed out that:

One is moved. The "Lean First" event shared unique lean management cases, from fine planning in the design phase to intelligent transformation of production lines, from optimization of supply chain management to fine operation of cost control. The improvement practices and smart ideas from frontline employees moved me. They vividly demonstrated the principle of "lean in the heart, practice in action" from their personal work. These thought-provoking cases provide valuable experience and inspiration for the company's lean management.

The second is dissemination. Carrying out lean case sharing is not only to affirm achievements, but also to motivate all employees to learn from role models and jointly promote the company's lean management to a higher level. We need to increase publicity efforts, spread these good cases and lean concepts to the hearts of every employee, create a strong atmosphere of lean for everyone, stimulate employees' enthusiasm, initiative, and creativity, and establish a lean culture of continuous improvement.

The third is persistence. Lean management is a long-term systematic project that cannot be grasped, stopped, or pursued day after day. Leaders at all levels should set an example, clarify responsibilities, refine work measures, strengthen supervision and assessment, persistently improve work promotion mechanisms, build a normalized lean indicator system, advocate pragmatic and efficient value orientation, and ensure that lean management work is truly implemented.

The fourth is tools. To master scientific lean management tools and further enhance the level of lean management with the support and assistance of the AiBorui Group. By introducing advanced information management systems and tools, real-time monitoring and data analysis of the production process can be achieved, providing more accurate and efficient support for lean management.

Five is collaboration. Lean is not a department fighting alone, it is a systematic project that requires coordination. Each department should face up to the problems and weak links in the development process, strengthen overall design, accelerate the transformation of thinking, closely integrate lean management with practical work, and encourage employees to use lean management methods and concepts to achieve new results and breakthroughs.

Chi Benbin emphasized that the company has recently implemented lean management and regards the "three win" concept as an important tool for value creation. Through this lean management case sharing, every cadre and employee can experience the charm and power of lean management up close, witnessing the importance of lean management in enhancing the company's core management capabilities.

Qin Rong emphasized the need to integrate lean culture into the company's central work, empowering the company with high-quality development through lean culture. Each department's party, government, and labor union should take prompt action, actively practice the core values of "integrity and pragmatism, excellence, innovation and transcendence, and steady and far-reaching actions", timely reflect lean dynamics, popularize lean knowledge, exchange and improve experience, and continuously enrich and improve lean management practices with Shanghai East China characteristics.

This sharing session also specially invited Wang Zhanzhuang, Technical Director of the AiBorui Group Business Unit, to share lean concepts and provide comments. Wang Zhanzhuang highly praised the sharing cases of the on-site contestants, evaluating them one by one from the aspects of display content, typhoon language, etc. He encouraged the contestants to start from the pain points and difficulties of actual work, use scientific management tools, further improve methods and processes, and strengthen lean management.
