"We must seek truth from facts and proceed from reality. This is the key obstacle to achieving high-quality development."Recently, shen wenrong, chairman of shagang group and founder of quanlian metallurgical chamber of commerce, accepted an exclusive interview with China metallurgical news on the topic of achieving high-quality development of the steel industry.

Shen wenrong believes that to achieve high-quality development, some work needs to be done for five or even 10 years, some problems need to be further studied to solve, and different enterprises should be allowed to have different efforts.

Quality development of steel enterprises is not just product quality development

The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China set the goal of realizing high-quality development.

"At the national level, high-quality development is the transformation of the development model from extensive to intensive, and the transformation of the supply side from meeting universal demand to meeting not only universal basic demand but also high-end demand.It's not just about the quality of the product itself, but also about service, intelligence, ultra-low emissions, safety, and the overall quality of the workforce."Shen wenrong thinks.

Then, combined with the practice of shagang, he made an in-depth explanation:

First, work around industry 4.0 to realize intelligence.According to the ninth five-year plan of shagang, 1000~1500 posts will be replaced by intelligent robots."At present, shagang has 200 to 300 jobs replaced by intelligent robots."Shen wenrong introduced.

Second, the quality of our products has been constantly improved."In the product quality improvement, not only special steel, excellent steel, pugang also want to improve the quality, such as seismic resistance, corrosion resistance, thick to thin, thin to thick and so on;In terms of product structure optimization, enterprises should come up with better products to serve the needs of China's transformation from a manufacturing power to a manufacturing power."Shen wenrong pointed out that in terms of structural adjustment, shagang will promote the upgrading of product structure according to the strategy of "special steel is more special, excellent steel is better, and pugang is better".

Third, service improvement.Enterprises should realize the effective combination of accurate service and universal service;Supply and demand to achieve direct docking, reduce the intermediate link;Achieve the best service, the lowest cost."The improvement of products, quality and services is one of the main components of high-quality development."Shen wenrong stressed.

On December 5, 2018, nanjing julong steel pipe co., LTD. (hereinafter referred to as nanjing julong) sent a banner of "efficient production and strong supply" to shasteel to thank shasteel for providing high-quality pipeline steel products for nanjing julong over the years.Zhang xiaobing, chief engineer of shagang group, thinks that this is nanjing julong's high affirmation of shagang pipeline steel products and services.

Learned, since 2009, through cooperation, shagang nanjing dragon respectively the second line of west-east gas, the three line of west-east gas, in the main lines, the shanxi-beijing four lines, the eastern route between China and other countries focus on pipeline engineering, as well as the local network of tangshan LNG (liquefied natural gas), pipe network in shandong, zhejiang gas engineering provides the high quality level of X65 pipeline steel products more than nearly 300000 tons.

Fourth, achieve ultra-low emissions."All industries should carry out the concept that 'green water and green mountains are mountains of gold and silver'."At present, achieving ultra-low emissions is the most basic and fundamental part of the high-quality development of the steel industry."Shen wenrong thinks.

Shagang group, since 2018, the environmental protection as an important gripper, improve enterprise core competitiveness of the comprehensive control the latest environmental protection standard, with reference to international advanced standards of the state, with superior domestic and international leading iron and steel enterprises as benchmarking, accumulative total investment exceeds 10 billion yuan, the full implementation of the atmospheric pollution, solid waste pollution, noise pollution, water pollution and so on four big projects.After these projects are completed and put into operation in 2021, shagang's environmental management will reach the leading level in the industry.

Fifth, the construction and improvement of the safety system.The iron and steel industry has a long process, many links, more dangerous sources, belong to high-risk industry, the iron and steel industry has a lot of basic work to do in the safety aspect.

In June 2018, shagang launched the 6S (sorting, reorganizing, cleaning, cleaning, literacy and safety) -tpm (production and maintenance for all employees) lean management project.With the gradual promotion of 6S lean management, the enterprise can further clean the site, regulate the behavior and deepen the construction of lean management culture.

"Of course, the overall improvement of the quality of the workforce, including workers and leaders, around the above aspects is also a necessary condition for high-quality development.In particular, the leadership team should take the lead in improving quality to meet the requirements of high-quality development.""In a nutshell, turning the goals of the state and society into the goals of the enterprises themselves is the top priority to achieve high-quality development," Mr. Shen said.

How to achieve high-quality development?

Shen wenrong believes that the first thing is to seek truth from facts, to have a scientific attitude, not overnight, rush for success, to allow different enterprises have different efforts process.

Taking industry 4.0 as an example, it is a systematic and macro plan with top-level design, which will take 5 or even 10 years to implement."Just because an iron and steel enterprise has realized internal intellectualization does not mean it has truly realized intellectualization. Only when the upper and lower reaches realize the same level of intellectualization, is the real intellectualization."Shen wenrong said.

Secondly, different industries and different enterprises to determine their own high-quality development ideas and planning."Learning from others is necessary, but must be based on the actual industry and enterprise planning, efforts to implement."Shen wenrong pointed out.

Third, to first easy, then difficult, step by step."Enterprises should do well what they can do by themselves;What can be done by several enterprises (including the upstream and downstream) should be done together."Shen wenrong thinks.

Shagang group, in terms of green development, the full implementation of "low carbon energy saving and emission reduction" project as a construction of the primary task of modern iron and steel enterprises, actively promote new technology of energy conservation and environmental protection, new technology, new equipment, continue to implement environmental protection and energy saving technical reconstruction, improve level of environmental science and management, realizes the enterprise benefit, social benefit and ecological benefit of organic unity and coordinated development.

In early 2018, shagang's first ultra-thin strip production line in China was officially completed and put into operation with the introduction of thin strip casting and rolling technology from nucor steel co., LTD.Compared with the traditional production line, the equipment layout of the whole ultra-thin strip production line is compact, which does not need the casting billet flame cutting, heating furnace and hot continuous rolling unit. The unit fuel consumption is reduced by 95%, water consumption is reduced by 80%, and electricity consumption is reduced by 90%, which greatly reduces the production cost.

In September 2018, the power energy control center of shagang power general plant was put into full operation.The 45 computer pages display the operation data and various operation pictures of the energy system in real time. Through remote centralized control, the unified management and balanced scheduling of the energy system of the whole company are realized. While ensuring the stability of the production and power process system of the whole company, the overall energy utilization rate and economy are further improved.

"In the past year, focusing on the enterprise goal of high-quality development, shagang has made remarkable achievements in industrial merger and acquisition, technological upgrading and production improvement, safety and environmental protection project improvement, and strategic partnership mechanism improvement.In 2018, shagang's steel output and benefits have reached the best level since the establishment of the plant."Shen wenrong introduced.

"In the next two to three years, shagang will carry out the transformation, comprehensively promote environmental protection, intelligence, product upgrading and so on, so that shagang will stand in front of the world with a new look, become a model of high-quality development in China, and even become a model of the world.Shen wenrong said.
