In 2012, Baosteel Co.,Ltd. taps potentials and furthers heavy plate manufacturing capability advancement work. The proportion of highly difficult varieties increase by 7.62% compared with same period last year. Highly difficult product available goods incidence rate decreases by 3.74%. While actively responding to market unfavorable situation and enhancing profitability, it also enhances on-site manufacturing capability.
Heavy plate highly difficult varieties include unique, limited specification, high strength, high surface requirement, high flatness requirement, high dimensional accuracy requirement products. The production is difficult, but it has strong profitability. In recent years, domestic medium and heavy plate production capacity is in serious surplus and homogeneous competition is intense. In the "12th Five-Year Plan", China has explicitly proposed to vigorously develop strategic emerging industries, among which high-end equipment manufacturing and new energy industries have demand for high-end plates. Therefore, seen from future demand trend, high-end plate product market space is still broad. The enhancement of heavy plate manufacturing capacity is critical as to how to walk out of the quagmire of homogeneous competition, seek Baosteel heavy plate product sustainable and healthy development and at the same time meet the needs of our future strategic emerging industries.
In 2012, heavy plate production, sales and research team advances management and technology, regulates basic management, carries out focused improvement on key defects, steadily raises manufacturing capacities of difficult varieties such as heavy plate marine steel, nuclear power steel, high-end vessel steel, high-end structure steel, high-end pipeline steel. Highly difficult varieties' production proportion has been further enhanced, a lot of breakthroughs have been made in varieties and specifications and products have been widely used in key projects at home and abroad. Heavy plate highly difficult varieties production raises more stringent requirements on site. How to achieve highly difficult varieties mass and stable production capacity while ensuring control of quality loss and finished product rate? From material design optimization to site production control and user information intime feedback implementation, heavy plate production, sales and research team carries out management control and systematically enhances production and manufacturing capacity.
On this basis, heavy plate production, marketing and research team vigorously reduces available goods incidence rate. Highly difficult varieties often have small contracts and the raise of production ratio has great impact on site production and logistics arrangement. Heavy plate production, marketing and research team focuses on heavy plate surplus slab incidence reduction and decrease heavy plate available goods incidence. Last year, with heavy plate highly difficult species proportion's further increase, available goods incidence decreases by 3.74% compared with same period last year.
