Production Booms, Output Hits New High—Group President Ren Qiliang and his delegation visited the Shandong subsidiary to conduct a field inspection and extend condolences to frontline employees.

As summer reaches its peak and scorching heat prevails, Shandong Company has ushered in an unprecedented production surge. Thanks to the concerted efforts of all employees, June saw a string of record-breaking output figures, setting yet another all-time high. Notably, during the fourth week of June and over the final two days of the month, production totaled 1,334 tons, shattering the company’s previous weekly record.

7 On the 2nd and 3rd of the month, Group President Ren Qiliang, Chief Financial Officer Lu Boqin, and Director of the Group Office Ma Li traveled to the Shandong branch to extend condolences to frontline employees and conduct a work‑site inspection.

2 In the evening, President Ren hosted a celebratory banquet in Pingyin, Jinan, to honor Shandong Company for breaking its monthly production record. On behalf of the Group, President Ren congratulated the company on achieving a new high in output and extended his heartfelt gratitude to all employees and the management team. At the banquet, the entire Shandong Yuangong team set aside their work to share the joy of this milestone, raising their glasses to celebrate themselves and to cheer for Shandong Company, while collectively wishing Yuangong an even brighter future.

3 On the morning of [date], President Ren and his delegation attended a symposium on record-breaking production at the Shandong Company, chaired by Luo Yinchang, Executive Vice President of the Group and Chairman of the Shandong Company.

General Manager Luo began by providing a brief summary of Shandong Company’s production‑boosting efforts in June. He stated that, guided by market demand and aligned with order‑signing and delivery schedules, the company launched a June production‑increase initiative as early as late May, rallying all resources to tackle the challenging task of achieving high output under extreme heat. All departments pooled their collective wisdom and concerted efforts, Coordinate and advance in a holistic manner, and organize meticulously, Through the concerted efforts of all cadres and employees, we have overcome every challenge, created every possible condition, turned the impossible into the possible, and written a new chapter in the company’s development.

General Manager Chen Kuanli on management He shared insights into the team’s innovative ideas, production‑driving initiatives, and problem‑identification efforts, noting that achieving the target output was made possible by close coordination across all production stages—balanced and full order intake, precise and efficient bill‑of‑materials breakdown, timely and reliable material procurement, meticulous production scheduling, and scientifically sound assembly and logistics. Since the new management team at the Shandong branch took office, they have earned the full confidence of group leadership and Chairman Luo Yinchang, demonstrating unity, seamless collaboration, strong execution, and unwavering dedication. By fully leveraging the team’s collective potential, they have produced numerous inspiring stories: for instance, Kong Xiangbing from the Manufacturing Department cared for a hospitalized family member without taking a single day off; Chang Jun, despite a waist injury and wearing a steel plate, remained steadfast at his post; and frontline workers balanced epidemic prevention with production, their faces marked by blisters from masks, yet voicing not a single complaint when faced with overtime assignments.

Deputy General Manager Gao Yanbin: The Supply and Quality Control departments primarily focus on providing robust support to production. On the supply side, in line with the June procurement plan, we have conducted a comprehensive assessment and engaged in extensive price comparisons, securing stable purchase prices and favorable payment terms to alleviate financial pressure while ensuring timely delivery. In logistics, we held a transportation tender meeting to rigorously control logistics costs, optimized vehicle scheduling, and maximized the utilization of each truck to minimize transportation expenses. As for quality management, with production volumes increasing, inspection work has become more demanding; the Quality Control department has been working overtime to maintain stringent quality oversight, leaving no room for compromise. To date, we have received no quality complaints from either the shop floor or our customers.

Deputy General Manager Wang Ming: In charge of general administration and business operations, our primary goal is to provide robust logistical support. On the operational front, this means promptly verifying drawing revisions and immediately relaying them to the engineering and manufacturing departments to avoid any production delays. As for administrative support, we ensure that both our employees and outsourced teams have their basic living needs met. Given that most members of the outsourced workforce come from southern China, we have carefully adjusted the meal plan, providing at least one rice-based meal daily and introducing more cooling dishes during the summer, so that frontline workers can eat their fill and enjoy nutritious meals.

General Assistant Qin Duqun: Regarding measures to ensure production output in the Manufacturing and Technology departments, the Technology Department has implemented precise and efficient drawing decomposition to lay a solid foundation for production in advance. Meanwhile, the Manufacturing Department has adopted strategies such as expanding the outsourced workforce, staggering equipment utilization, optimizing space allocation, and rigorously controlling paint‑spraying quality.

Deputy Manager Kong Xiangbing of the Manufacturing Department: The prerequisite for boosting production is having a sufficient backlog of orders, implementing meticulous and well‑coordinated planning, and effectively addressing all production‑related concerns—particularly ensuring that drawings and materials are available on time. Even as we significantly increased outsourced personnel and upgraded certain production equipment, we remained committed to motivating our workforce, fostering unity, and maintaining team cohesion—only then were we able to achieve the final results.

Group President Ren Qiliang delivered a concluding address, once again extending, on behalf of Chairman Chen and the Group, his congratulations to Shandong Company on achieving a record‑breaking production level. He remarked: “This visit was made specifically to celebrate Shandong Company’s output.” In June, the company’s production hit an all‑time high since its inception—nearly 30 percent higher than its previous peak. Against the backdrop of ongoing pandemic‑prevention measures, this performance is truly remarkable. After hearing the story behind this achievement from Shandong Company’s management team, it became abundantly clear that the entire organization is united in purpose, working in concert toward its goals and making extraordinary efforts. Led by General Manager Chen Kuanli, the leadership team demonstrates formidable combativeness and strong execution. This record‑setting output served as an extreme stress test across every dimension of the company, further underscoring its comprehensive capabilities in human resources, finance, materials, and organizational management.

First, the assessment effectively showcased the spirit and demeanor of all employees and the leadership team at Shandong Company. Attitude is everything; a deep sense of ownership, unwavering dedication, and an unyielding commitment to winning—qualities that Shandong Yuegong employees have demonstrated with remarkable clarity—are not only a cherished tradition of the company but also its core competitive advantage in today’s environment, worthy of emulation by other companies and departments across the Group.

Second, the test results demonstrate that Shandong Company’s product positioning—continuously shifting toward heavy steel and large‑scale projects—is highly accurate. With a significant share of heavy steel and a portfolio rich in major projects, this approach is highly conducive to optimizing production organization and boosting efficiency. Although June’s output was strong, it was concentrated primarily in four key projects: large‑scale projects deliver high efficiency, while heavy‑steel initiatives drive robust production. These findings have reinforced our understanding of the critical importance of product positioning: focusing on large‑scale and heavy‑steel projects better supports streamlined production management, enhances output, improves efficiency, and maximizes the company’s production advantages.

Third, testing has further reinforced our goal‑oriented approach. At the end of May, based on a comprehensive analysis of the company’s order backlog, customer requirements, and key deadlines, Shandong Company boldly set a production target far exceeding the industry average. Under the same facility conditions and with the same level of operational capability, such a target would normally be deemed unattainable. The boldness to set this ambitious goal deserves recognition, and the concerted efforts to achieve it merit high praise. With the entire organization rallying around this clearly articulated, high‑stepping objective, June has become an extraordinary month.

Fourth, the successful test results reflect a comprehensive improvement across all aspects—production organization, on-site management, equipment capabilities, process sophistication, and quality control—and are the fruit of the entire workforce’s close collaboration, united effort, and relentless pursuit of excellence. Both equipment and personnel were pushed to their limits, fully unleashing their potential. The achievement of the targeted output demonstrates that, over the years, Shandong Company’s steady progress and accumulated strengths have paid off. Based on our discussions just now, two key lessons stand out as particularly worthy of recognition and further promotion: First, proactive planning pays dividends; by anticipating potential issues—especially in core areas such as production scheduling, material flow, equipment utilization scheduling, and shipment logistics—preemptive contingency plans can be put in place, ensuring efficiency and effectiveness. Second, adopting a “no delay, no procrastination” approach enables daily problem resolution and timely identification of challenges. Beyond regular production meetings, this also allows for urgent coordination during operations, thereby safeguarding a smooth production process.

Fifth, the testing process revealed our own shortcomings and areas for improvement. For instance, issues related to hardware—such as equipment and facilities—cannot be ignored; where investment is warranted, it must be made. Only when human performance and technological capabilities are seamlessly integrated can we unlock greater potential.

Finally, General Manager Ren emphasized that this symposium sought to bring to light the stories behind innovation and production, aiming to make data come alive. While the release of production capacity is the ultimate outcome, it stems from exemplary practices and cutting-edge initiatives. We must conduct a thorough post‑mortem analysis, distill these best practices, and forge a shared understanding—actions that will help us continuously improve our work going forward. When many minds come together, all matters are clear. ， When many hands join together, success is assured. “Unity of purpose and concerted effort are the key to Shandong Company’s achievement of high productivity, as well as the fundamental pillar for maintaining its sound operational performance and its core competitive edge. We hope that Shandong Company will continue to uphold its fine traditions, with the leadership team and principal executives especially cherishing this invaluable spirit of collaboration and working together, sustaining this positive mindset, and continuously driving the company toward even greater development, thereby making new and greater contributions to the Group.”

3 At noon, Group President Ren Qiliang and Executive Vice President Luo Yinchang, accompanied by Shandong Company General Manager Chen Kuanli, Deputy General Managers Gao Yanbin and Wang Ming, and Assistant to the General Manager Qin Duqun, visited the company’s workshop. They extended warm greetings to employees who have been steadfastly working on the front lines, urged them to prioritize safety and take good care of their health during the intense summer heat, and presented them with relief supplies to help beat the heat.
