ASIMCO Camshaft Machining Workshop Proudly Awarded the “Workers’ Pioneer” Title

Recently, the Yizheng City Federation of Trade Unions awarded the ASIMCO Camshaft Metal Machining Workshop the honorary title of “Workers’ Pioneer.” The ASIMCO Camshaft Metal Machining Workshop currently has 146 employees, including 28 with senior technician qualifications or above. In recent years, the workshop has actively carried out 5S activities, improving the production environment and enhancing employee competence. It has also implemented TPM initiatives aimed at achieving “zero breakdowns, zero accidents, zero defects, and zero scrap,” promoted lean manufacturing and Six Sigma quality management, and eliminated non-value-added work. Through continuous improvement and innovation, the workshop’s working environment and production methods have undergone significant changes, with labor-saving, effort-saving, and automation becoming ongoing improvement goals. By launching cost-reduction and improvement projects as well as employee suggestion programs, the workshop has steadily reduced material and energy consumption, making a substantial contribution to the company’s energy conservation and consumption reduction efforts. Throughout the years, the workshop’s employees have been proactive and committed to learning and innovation in their spare time. They work together in unity to create a harmonious and civilized work environment. Currently, each employee in the workshop is assigned an average of 3.5 positions, and both per capita output value and efficiency are increasing by about 15% annually. Multi-process operations have become the forte of most employees, while advanced CNC machining technology and capabilities for camshafts continue to enhance their skills. The award of the “Workers’ Pioneer” honor is not only a recognition of the workshop’s past achievements but also a source of motivation for its future work. All members of the metal machining workshop will continue to uphold the honor and responsibilities of the “Workers’ Pioneer” with high enthusiasm and outstanding performance, building a passionate team that will make further contributions to the development of ASIMCO Camshaft (Yizheng) Co., Ltd.

ASIMCO Camshaft Fire Drill Event Successfully Held

Adhering to the principle of giving equal emphasis to prevention and emergency response, we proactively prevent potential accidents and develop corresponding emergency rescue measures. We also ensure that all employees are familiar with basic fire safety knowledge, enhance their awareness of safety precautions, and strengthen their ability to protect themselves. On the afternoon of June 26, 2015, the company organized its annual fire drill. Upon the general manager’s command, every participating employee followed the established procedure—“run-up, aim at the fire, open the fire extinguisher, and extinguish the fire”—to complete a realistic simulated firefighting exercise. The drill was conducted in a tense yet orderly manner and concluded successfully. This fire drill not only strengthened all employees’ awareness of fire safety but also equipped them with the skills to report emergencies and handle them appropriately, thereby further enhancing their ability to respond to unexpected incidents. At the same time, it heightened employees’ vigilance and self-rescue capabilities, enabling them to recognize hazards and implement necessary emergency measures—basic operational skills that ensure swift, orderly, timely, and effective responses in the event of an accident, thus providing invaluable experience. Moving forward, we will regularly conduct various emergency training and drills for disaster-related incidents to improve our employees’ emergency rescue skills and overall emergency response capabilities, effectively reduce the risks and potential harm posed by accidents, minimize losses, and ensure the company’s safe, healthy, and orderly development.

Camshaft Completes the First-Half-Year Work Summary on Benchmarking, Potential Exploration, Cost Reduction, and Efficiency Improvement

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.

Harmony, Happiness, Touching, Gratitude — A Documentary on ASIMCO Camshaft Employees’ Family Open Day

On June 20, ASIMCO Camshaft held its inaugural Employee Family Open Day during the traditional Dragon Boat Festival. More than 140 employees’ family members visited the company’s office building and production facilities, gaining firsthand experience of their loved ones’ work and living environments. Just after 8:00 a.m., employees and their relatives began arriving at the company one after another, posing for photos in front of an archway emblazoned with “ASIMCO Camshaft Welcomes You.” Colorful banners fluttered along both sides of the company’s main avenue, while LED screens displayed the company’s vision and welcoming messages. Joy was evident on the faces of every employee and their family members, as company leaders warmly welcomed everyone at the factory gate. During the event, employees and their relatives toured the product exhibition area, production workshops, office buildings, employee cafeteria, and staff lounges. The employees’ family members praised the company’s clean and well-organized working environment, with many expressing admiration. Throughout the visit, they paused to carefully explore the company’s history and development, learning about its products and market presence. Upon discovering that the company’s products are exported to developed countries in Europe and North America, they couldn’t hide their pride. Family members lingered at photo displays showcasing the company’s various activities, commending its rich corporate cultural initiatives. They also watched a special video titled “How Camshafts Are Made,” gaining an in-depth understanding of the camshaft manufacturing process, the company’s business development, and its future plans, thereby truly experiencing ASIMCO Camshaft’s vigorous corporate spirit and its people-oriented corporate culture. ASIMCO Camshaft’s healthy and rapid growth is inseparable from the hard work of every employee and the support and dedication of every family. It is precisely because of the strong backing provided by employees’ families that camshaft employees can devote themselves wholeheartedly to their work. We hope that by hosting this event, we can bring the company closer to employees’ families, establishing a solid platform for exchange and communication between the company, employees, and their relatives. We look forward to employees’ families continuing to support their loved ones’ careers and the company’s development, while the company, in turn, will keep striving to reward employees with ever-improving performance, so that together we can create a better life.

ASIMCO Camshaft’s Fourth Outdoor Team-Building Event Successfully Held

To effectively enhance the team spirit and execution capabilities of grassroots managers and build high-performing teams, on May 24, 2015, ASIMCO Camshaft organized the fourth outdoor team-building training session, themed “Sailing Together in the Same Boat, Braving the Waves for a Journey of Ten Thousand Li.” Nearly forty employees from various roles—including production, maintenance, engineering, and quality—participated in this event. At 8:30 a.m., amid an exciting and lively team-building and ice-breaking ceremony, the training camp officially kicked off. Over the course of the entire day, activities such as the High Wire Bridge, Tram Ride, and The Power of Breathing distilled many of the complex management challenges and process execution issues encountered in daily work into tangible, thrilling games that tested both wisdom and courage. Participants competed not only for victory or defeat but, more importantly, for what they could gain from the experience—what insights they could draw, how their previous working methods and behavioral patterns had hindered their performance, and how distortions in communication up and down the hierarchy affected execution. Through these scenario-based simulations, employees were able to better understand themselves, improve themselves, and strengthen teamwork. Team members from different departments and positions consistently worked together in unity, supporting and encouraging one another, thereby deepening their interpersonal connections. Each team-building activity is more than just a simple sport or game; it is a cultural tradition, a spiritual legacy, and a set of guiding principles that inspire reflection and enlightenment. Of course, it also teaches us to always maintain a grateful heart and to recognize the selfless help and support we receive from our families, colleagues, leaders, and friends in both our professional and personal lives.
