To fully unlock the potential for production cost reduction and decrease consumption of zinc ingots and natural gas, while strictly adhering to product quality standards, we are driving process optimization and lean manufacturing. On July 3, 2026, the Coating Workshop organized a special skills competition for the aluminum-zinc coating line on zinc coating and hardness control. Teams from Shift One, Shift Two, and Shift Three competed against each other, with rankings determined by actual finished-product data from the production line. All assessment tasks of the competition have been completed, and the event concluded successfully.

This competition focuses on two key indicators—zinc coating thickness and sheet surface hardness—closely aligning with actual production conditions and emphasizing operational standards and process precision. Relying on inspection data, the event strives to “Let the data speak, and judge merit by results,” comprehensively assessing the participating teams’ process control capabilities and on-site adaptability.
On the morning of July 7, the competition samples from the three teams were delivered collectively to the Quality Inspection Department. Under the full supervision of Cao Zeming, director of the Coating and Plating Workshop, the zinc coating thickness and surface hardness of the samples were tested one by one. Meanwhile, the Production Equipment Department tracked the data collection in parallel, ensuring that all stages were open and transparent and that procedures were standardized and rigorous, thereby effectively safeguarding the fairness of the competition.

After the match , Team leader In-depth summaries and exchanges were conducted on key operational points, control techniques, and process challenges. Through practical competitions, participants not only honed their operational skills but also deepened their understanding of process standards. Showcasing the frontline operators’ solid job skills and their relentless pursuit of excellence.

The conclusion of the competition is not an end, but a new beginning for lean cost control and standardization. Coating and plating The workshop will Continuously promote the institutionalization of skills competitions for cost control. Guide all employees to identify waste and reduce losses at their respective posts, continuously strengthening cost reduction and efficiency gains through refined process control. solid Foundation , contributing more frontline efforts to the company’s high-quality development.
