Tangshan Xinfeng Industrial Co., Ltd.: "Scan-to-Check" for Equipment Inspection, Achieving "Excellent Results" in Cost Reduction and Efficiency Improvement

Original: https://cli.im/article/detail/2424

In implementing the work directive of "Lean Management, Cost Reduction, and Efficiency Improvement" from Hebei Xinda Mining Group Co., Ltd., Tangshan Xinfeng Industrial Co., Ltd. started from the details, based on 6S principles, with the aim of saving costs, and rigorously strengthened on-site management to truly put "Lean Management, Cost Reduction, and Efficiency Improvement" into practice.

As a member of Xinfeng, Liu Hailiang actively responded to the company's call for cost reduction and efficiency improvement. During on-site inspections, he noticed that many people used inspection record books to document equipment conditions. Upon inquiring with the equipment department's inspection personnel, he learned that record books were the primary method. The cost of reporting with these books was considerable, and although equipment conditions were recorded, retrieving past records was often time-consuming and labor-intensive.

After identifying this issue, Liu Hailiang utilized the "scan-to-check" QR code principle to create QR codes for the equipment. Adopting the "scan-to-check" method for equipment inspection made inspection results clear and easy to understand. Mobile operation was convenient and user-friendly, with low deployment costs, significantly improving the efficiency of equipment inspections.

By scanning the QR code, personnel can fill in equipment conditions, check previous inspection records, and identify any abnormalities. This allows managers to access more information, not only saving part of the cost of inspection record books but also eliminating most of the time spent searching through records. This has tangibly contributed to Xinfeng Industrial's "Cost Reduction and Efficiency Improvement" efforts.

The "scan-to-check" method is not limited to equipment inspections; it is equally applicable to engineering construction personnel. Tangshan Xinfeng Industrial Co., Ltd. has numerous on-site construction teams and workers. Previously, queuing to fill out records consumed a significant amount of time, and with tight schedules, every minute counted.

After implementing "scan-to-check," construction teams can enter information on their mobile phones while queuing for temperature checks and disinfection at the entrance, saving considerable time. The adoption rate of "scan-to-check" has reached 99%. Whether in production sites or engineering projects, it has brought convenience and facilitated data collection and statistics.

Currently, "Lean Management, Cost Reduction, and Efficiency Improvement" is the top priority for Xinfeng Industrial. Under the premise of ensuring benefits, the company is significantly reducing expenses and minimizing costs. As part of Hebei Xinda Mining Group Co., Ltd., Tangshan Xinfeng Industrial Co., Ltd. keeps "Lean Management, Cost Reduction, and Efficiency Improvement" in mind and implements it in practice. They are committed to sustaining this work ethic, persevering until the goals are achieved, and realizing the overall objectives of production and operation.
