Release Date:

This month, the company held a summary meeting on the first-half “Benchmarking and Potential Exploration for Cost Reduction and Efficiency Improvement” initiative. The meeting reviewed all efficiency-enhancement and cost-improvement projects implemented this year, with participation from company leaders and all project managers. In early 2015, the company launched the “Benchmarking and Potential Exploration for Cost Reduction and Efficiency Improvement” program, aimed at boosting production-line efficiency and reducing key material consumption. The stated objectives were to increase production-line efficiency by 10% and reduce major material consumption by 8% compared with 2014 levels. The primary purpose of this review meeting was to assess the progress of all projects and to evaluate the benefits achieved after six months of improvement efforts. During the presentations, a company evaluation panel scored each project based on several criteria: data collection and application, improvement outcomes, implementation progress, and the overall value of the improvements. Based on these scores, rewards were awarded to completed projects, while unfinished projects will be re-evaluated at year-end upon completion. Following the review, it was found that, with the exception of the steel shaft line, all production-line efficiency improvement projects have met their年初 targets, and the theoretical capacity of each production line has reached the expected level. The next step is for the workshops to further enhance capacity utilization through daily production scheduling and management, thereby maximizing output and improving capacity utilization rates. Among the cost-reduction initiatives, the two projects focused on reducing polishing belt consumption and tap consumption were key priorities this year and have already yielded significant results, allowing them to transition into regular production. Project managers are expected to maintain close oversight, and once these projects are fully completed, they will be evaluated and rewarded at year-end. Thanks to the tireless efforts of all employees and the successful implementation of the cost-reduction and efficiency-improvement programs, the company managed to meet its first-half EBITDA budget despite a sluggish market in the first half, which resulted in sales performance 6% below budget. In the second half, the company will continue to pursue cost-reduction and efficiency-enhancement initiatives, adding 11 new cost-reduction projects. These efforts will lay a solid foundation for achieving the annual financial targets and strengthening the competitiveness of the company’s products.
This month, the company held a summary meeting for the first half of the year’s “Benchmarking and Potential Exploration, Cost Reduction and Efficiency Enhancement” initiative. The meeting reviewed all efficiency-enhancement and cost-improvement projects implemented this year, with participation from relevant company leaders and all project managers. At the beginning of 2015, the company launched the “Benchmarking and Potential Exploration, Cost Reduction and Efficiency Enhancement” improvement program, aimed at boosting production-line efficiency and reducing key material consumption. The stated objectives for these improvement initiatives were to increase production-line efficiency by 10% and reduce major material consumption by 8% compared with 2014 levels.
This review meeting primarily focused on assessing the progress of all projects and evaluating their benefits following six months of improvement efforts. During the presentations, the company’s evaluation panel scored each project across several dimensions: collection and utilization of application data, improvement outcomes, implementation progress, and the overall value of the improvements. Based on these scores, rewards were awarded to projects that had been completed, while unfinished projects will be re-evaluated after completion at the end of the year.
Following the review, all projects under the production-line efficiency improvement initiative—except for the steel shaft line—have successfully met their年初 (early-year) improvement targets, and the theoretical capacity of each production line has now reached the expected levels. The next step is for the workshop to further enhance daily production scheduling and management in order to maximize capacity utilization and improve capacity utilization rates. Among the cost-reduction initiatives, the two projects focused on reducing consumable usage for polishing belts and tap tools are this year’s key areas of improvement; both have already yielded significant results and can now be integrated into regular production operations. Project leaders are required to maintain close oversight, and upon completion of these projects, a year-end review and reward program will be conducted.
Thanks to the tireless efforts of all employees and the successful implementation of cost-reduction and efficiency-enhancement improvement initiatives, the company managed to meet its first-half EBITDA budget target despite a sluggish market in the first half, which resulted in sales performance 6% below budget. In the second half, we will continue to pursue cost-reduction and efficiency-enhancement initiatives, adding another 11 such projects. These efforts will lay a solid foundation for achieving our annual financial targets and enhancing the competitiveness of our products.
