China's iron and steel industry has entered a new stage of high-quality development. There have been a number of iron and steel enterprises with characteristics in the process of high-quality development and transformation, which has accumulated a great deal of experience for the achievement of high-quality sustainable development of China's steel industry. Meanwhile, China The high quality development of steel still faces some challenges. It still needs all parties to work together.
According to Zhu Ruirong, president of Nanjing Iron & Steel, 'JIT+C2M' is a user-centric manufacturing endeavor, and on the premise of ensuring on-time and high-efficiency, it can provide flexible customized manufacturing services to customers, and through e-commerce, big data. , Cloud computing and other '2Link' technologies, to achieve direct contact with the user interaction.
'In this model, we are not only the first-tier downstream users of steel, but also the users of the users, and the ultimate terminal for consumption. For example, for high-strength steel, wear-resistant steel to construction machinery companies, they made excavations. The machine was then sold to the mine for use. The service of Nanjing Iron and Steel will be extended to the mine, focusing on the technical requirements of the mine and the replacement of parts and components, and finally building a value-added C2M ecosystem. ''Take shipbuilding as an example. This model can reduce the shipbuilding period and labor cost by one-third, saving more than 20% of the materials.'
Zhu Ruirong stated that under this new model, from June 2014 to 2017, the customized distribution business volume was 1.71 million tons. The new product development cycle was shortened by 30% compared with the original, and the contract redemption rate was increased to 94.28%. The qualification rate of the original steel grades was increased to 97.25%. Customized distribution service is covered by shipbuilding to wind power, structure, construction machinery, bridges and other varieties, and customer satisfaction has increased to 91.26%.
According to the “China's steel industry development prospects and investment strategic planning analysis report” data show that in 2015, China’s pig iron production was 691 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 3.5%, the first decline since 2008; the country’s crude steel production was 804 million tons, Declined by 2.3%; domestic steel production maintained growth, reaching 1.123 billion tons in 2015, an increase of 0.6% year-on-year, slowing down.
As an industry that prioritizes supply-side structural reforms, the iron and steel industry has vigorously promoted 'three gos, one drop and one supplement' to resolve excess production capacity as a breakthrough, optimize structure, eliminate difficulties and escalate, and improve quality and efficiency. A large number of steel companies have begun to practice. High-quality development. Baowu, Angang, Shougang, Hegang, Masteel, Zhongte Group and Shagang, Fangda Special Steel, Nangang, Zhongtian Steel, etc., at the equipment level, product quality, innovation ability, smart manufacturing, green Development, employee recognition and profitability all have their own characteristics. It has accumulated a great deal of experience worthwhile for China's steel industry to achieve high-quality sustainable development.
Chi Jingdong, deputy chairman of China Iron and Steel Association, stated that China’s steel industry has a material basis for high quality development and has the conditions for high-quality development of technology and talents. In terms of technology, the industrial structure of the iron and steel industry has been continuously optimized, and the quality of the varieties has been significantly improved. With great strides, scientific and technological innovations have continued to emerge, and a consensus has emerged for high-quality development.
Chi Jingdong said that the above factors make the steel industry one of the first to achieve high-quality development.
According to the data, in 2017, the average sales profit rate of the member companies of the China Iron and Steel Association resumed to 4.7%. After several generations of hard work, China’s iron and steel industry has gone through geological exploration, mining ore dressing, ironmaking, steel making, and steel rolling. To the deep processing of the entire industrial chain technology level of equipment, as well as automation, information level, energy saving and environmental protection level, as a whole has reached the world-class.
Chi Jingdong stated that the transformation and upgrading of the iron and steel industry is to solve the problem of inadequate development imbalance, that is, in accordance with the principle of quality first and efficiency first, vigorously enhance the quality and benefits of development. This means that the iron and steel industry will enter into high quality development. In the new stage, steel must rely on technological quality, cost services and management to achieve innovation.
According to industry sources, the current high quality development of steel faces four major challenges: increasing pressure to prevent new capacity; increasing pressure to prevent the re-emergence of 'Gibbon Steel'; increasing the pressure on the development of short-flow steelmaking; increasing environmental pressure on iron and steel companies .
Smart manufacturing is one of the five key projects of 'Made in China 2025'. Steel is a process-oriented industry with a high degree of automation. The basis for smart manufacturing development is good and the space is large. At present, China's iron and steel industry is mechanized, electrified, automated, and information is coexisting differently. Big differences in business development.
Since 2015, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has implemented a special pilot demonstration project for smart manufacturing. In the steel industry, Baosteel has selected hot continuous and cold rolling, Anshan Iron and Steel's mine, Tang Gang's bar, Taigang Stainless Steel Cold Rolling, Shandong Shengtong Steel Curtain The high-precision special steel wire of the line is used as a demonstration of plate, mine, bar profile, stainless steel and steel wire. It is hoped that through intelligent manufacturing pilot demonstration, a development roadmap suitable for intelligent manufacturing of steel industry will be found, and high quality will be achieved for China's steel industry. Development plays a booster role.
In the future, the steel industry is no longer a direct competition for products, but a competition between supply chains and clients. It is a competition for enterprises to allocate resource capabilities, strengthen supply chain and client building, break through simple trading relationships, and create a global resource integration platform. Achieve a highly collaborative supply chain with complementary advantages.
