After the epidemic, the steel pipe factory hopes to improve the efficiency of the enterprise, not only to select a group of high-efficiency production lines but also to reduce production costs due to some operations that we will ignore. Let's briefly discuss it from two aspects. This is also a question widely considered in the industry.
There are many types of products and complex, high-management costs
The company's products are rich and diverse, and can often support the production of steel pipes of different diameters and thicknesses. This was original to meet the needs of more customers and receive orders on a larger scale. However, as the market competition became more and more fierce, the "extensive" production mode also began to change. Every time the specification of the steel pipe produced is adjusted, it means that the roll needs to be replaced and adjusted again, and the time cost incurred in this part is huge. And the extra cost is not easy to share with customers, and ultimately can only be borne by the factory itself. In the three years since the new crown epidemic, we will find that the operating conditions of welded pipe companies with complex types of welded pipes are more difficult, while welded pipe companies that focus on a certain field can maintain their momentum. It is because they specialize in welded pipes of several specifications, the management cost is low, and the competitiveness is higher.
So far, ZTZG has developed a high-speed production line that does not change molds throughout the line and has successfully run it. Solved the problems of high labor costs and high management costs for local customers.
Insufficient machine research by operators
The operators of the welded pipe production line have not studied the welded pipe machine deeply enough. Operators often tune up pipe welding machines based on previous experience and assume that the machine just needs to run. For example, pipes of various specifications use one parameter, ignoring that some welded pipes can be produced faster. Another aspect is that when there is a quality problem with the welded pipe, it is subconsciously considered to be a machine problem. In this regard, the operator will wait for the manufacturer to repair, it instead of trying to solve it by adjusting the process, which wastes a lot of time and increases management costs. If you have similar problems, you might as well consider these two aspects.
