Cost control and raw material purchase are crucial links in the production process of high speed railway precision forgings. This paper will discuss how to effectively control the production cost and make a reasonable purchasing strategy of raw materials.
Production cost control
Process optimization: Through continuous optimization of the production process, improve production efficiency and reduce production costs. For example, the use of advanced production equipment, improve the degree of automation, simplify the production process.
Energy management: Rational use of energy and reduce energy consumption are important means to control production costs. Enterprises should establish an energy management system, implement measures to save energy and reduce consumption, and improve energy utilization efficiency.
Human resource management: rational allocation of human resources to avoid human waste. Through training and incentive mechanism, improve the work skills and enthusiasm of employees, so as to improve production efficiency.
Quality management: Under the premise of ensuring product quality, reduce quality costs as much as possible. Enterprises should establish a perfect quality management system, strengthen quality awareness training, and improve employees’ awareness and attention to quality.
Inventory management: reasonable control of inventory to avoid inventory overhang and waste. Through the scientific inventory management method, the inventory cost is reduced and the inventory turnover rate is increased.
Raw material purchasing strategy
Supplier selection: Select competitive suppliers to ensure the quality and supply stability of raw materials. Enterprises should evaluate and compare suppliers and choose suppliers with good reputation, reliable quality and reasonable prices.
Centralized procurement: Through centralized procurement, the procurement scale is increased and the procurement cost is reduced. Enterprises should establish long-term cooperative relations with suppliers and strive for more favorable prices and better procurement conditions.
Diversified procurement: In order to reduce supply risks, enterprises should adopt diversified procurement strategies. That is to establish cooperative relationships with multiple suppliers to ensure a stable supply of raw materials.
Supply chain management: Enterprises should strengthen supply chain management to ensure the efficient operation of transportation, warehousing and distribution of raw materials. Reduce logistics costs and inventory costs by optimizing supply chain management.
Long-term cooperation: Establishing long-term cooperation relationships with suppliers helps reduce transaction costs and uncertainties. Enterprises should work with suppliers to develop long-term development plans to achieve win-win development.
Taking a well-known high-speed railway precision forging production enterprise as an example, the enterprise has achieved remarkable results in production cost control and raw material procurement strategy. In terms of production cost control, the company has effectively reduced production costs by means of process optimization, energy management, and human resource management. In terms of raw material procurement strategy, the company chooses competitive suppliers, adopts centralized procurement and diversified procurement strategies, and establishes long-term cooperative relations with suppliers. These practical experiences provide useful reference and reference for other enterprises.
Through the research and practical case analysis of the production cost control and raw material procurement strategy of high-speed railway precision forgings, we can draw the following conclusions and suggestions:
Enterprises should pay attention to production cost control and reduce production cost by means of process optimization, energy management and human resource management.
In terms of raw material procurement, enterprises should choose competitive suppliers, adopt centralized procurement and diversified procurement strategies, and establish long-term cooperative relationships with suppliers to reduce procurement costs and supply risks.
Enterprises should strengthen supply chain management, optimize logistics and warehousing links, and reduce inventory costs and logistics costs. At the same time, work with suppliers to develop long-term development plans to achieve win-win development.
