In the field of manufacturing, production cost control is an important link for enterprises to continue to develop and enhance competitiveness. For the production process of Marine diesel engine forgings, effective cost control strategy can not only help to reduce product cost, but also improve resource utilization efficiency and enterprise profitability. This paper will share the production cost control strategy and practical experience in the production process of Marine diesel engine forging.
Production cost control is the key link in the enterprise management system, which directly affects the product pricing, profit margin and the competitiveness of the enterprise in the market. In the production process of Marine diesel engine forgings, due to the high cost of raw materials, energy, labor and so on, effective cost control is of great significance for the long-term development of enterprises.
Production cost control strategy
Target cost management: Set reasonable target cost according to market demand and product positioning. Through the decomposition of the target cost to each production link, the cost control responsibility of each department is clarified, and the cost control atmosphere of all employees is formed.
Lean production: The introduction of lean production concept, through the elimination of waste, improve production efficiency, reduce inventory and other ways to achieve the reduction of production costs. For example, optimizing production layout, reducing production conversion time, implementing single-piece flow, etc.
Procurement management: Establish a scientific supplier evaluation and selection mechanism to ensure the quality and price of raw materials. Through the establishment of long-term cooperation with suppliers, to achieve stable control of procurement costs.
Energy management: Improve energy efficiency and reduce energy consumption. For example, the introduction of energy-efficient equipment, the implementation of energy monitoring and management systems, and the promotion of green manufacturing technology.
Labor cost management: Improve labor productivity and reduce labor costs by improving employee skill level, optimizing work flow and implementing performance appraisal.
Practical experience sharing
Establish a sound cost accounting system: accurate accounting of product cost is the basis of production cost control. Enterprises should establish a sound cost accounting system, including the accounting of raw materials, labor, manufacturing expenses, etc., to ensure the transparency and accuracy of costs.
Strengthen cross-departmental collaboration: Production cost control requires the joint participation and collaboration of all departments. The enterprise shall establish a cross-departmental cost control group, hold regular meetings, jointly analyze the cost composition and causes of change, and propose improvement measures.
Continuous technological innovation: Through the introduction of advanced production technology and management concepts, constantly improve production efficiency and quality level, reduce production costs. For example, the use of advanced forging technology, automated production lines, digital management.
Strengthen staff training and education: improve staff’s awareness and participation in cost control, and enhance staff’s cost awareness and saving spirit through training and education. At the same time, establish an incentive mechanism to encourage employees to put forward reasonable suggestions to reduce costs.
Introduce third-party audit and consulting: Regularly invite professional audit and consulting institutions to audit and evaluate the production costs of enterprises, and identify potential cost control opportunities and improvement space.
The production cost control in the production process of Marine diesel engine forgings is the key link for enterprises to enhance competitiveness and achieve sustainable development. By implementing targeted cost management, lean production, procurement management, energy management, labor cost management and other strategies, combined with practical experience sharing measures, enterprises can effectively reduce production costs, improve resource utilization efficiency and market competitiveness. Looking forward to the future, with the continuous progress of science and technology and the constant change of market demand, enterprises should continue to innovate cost control methods and technical means to adapt to the changing market environment and achieve sustainable development.
