Change from a laborer to an operator

    Amoeba operation is to divide the organization into small groups, each group independent accounting, train leaders with a sense of operator, so that all the staff can participate in the operation to achieve the full participation of the management-"amoeba management" --Inamori Kazuo.

    In order to adapt to the intense competition in the steel industry, Nigeria Yong xing steel Company has implemented the Amoeba operation model based on the smelting workshop as a pilot. The aim is to involve all staff in the operation and manage the company from top to bottom, so as to reduce cost, improve quality and improve efficiency.

    The smelting amoeba implementation, smelting workshop scheduling Gu Fuguo as amoeba chief, fully responsible for the management of the smelting workshop, scheduling Liu Changbing  assist the work, other smelting workshop staff all participate (including machine repair, electricians, furnace workers, medium frequency furnace electricians).

    On April 1, 2019, the Amoeba business model began to be tested in the smelting plant of Yong Star Company Nigeria.In the operation process of Amoeba, a collaborative team from production manager to front-line staff has been established:In amoeba implementation process, smelting workshop each related personnel attaches great importance to the information sharing and problem solving, establish an amoeba work communication group, sharing and analysis of all kinds of information of production process in smelting workshop including the smelting output and quality, smelting power cost, equipment failure situation,situation of workshop material collect and the local workers attendance etc.,At the same time they cooperate to solve the difficulties in the production process.

    This was the beginning of a change of thought. As the leader of the implementation of amoeba, scheduling Gu fuguo’s change of thought was especially obvious. He care everything from the workshop local employee attendance to the material collect. He timely put forward questions and solve for the unreasonable material requisition in the production process to avoid material waste and cost increase.The manpower arrangement in the production process should be reasonable to avoid the waste of human resources.Timely pay attention to the workshop failure, and promote the smooth development of production.

    At the same time, maintenance, electricians and other front-line production staff have changed the thoughts: they pay more attention to the workshop fault, timely in-depth understanding of the cause of the fault to get to reason to avoid the impact of secondary failure on production, reduce the waste of manpower and materials.At the same time, furnace workers not only pay more attention to the production output and power consumption, they also actively cooperate with machine repair, electricians to solve the faults existing in the production.
