Recently, the fourth-phase lean-management coaching wrap-up meeting of the BanChao Group was held in the third-floor conference room of Shengmei Magnesium. Workshop heads, lean champions and employee representatives gathered to follow a four-step agenda—“review results to clarify direction, set targets to map the path, honor pioneers to erect benchmarks, and assign tasks to hard-wire execution”—pressing the “accelerator” on the next level of lean management and forging a company-wide consensus and momentum for high-quality development.

Hou Xianliang, director of the Lean Promotion Office, used hard data to replay the impact of Phase III, presenting detailed metrics and clear before-and-after comparisons that highlighted breakthroughs in every area. Building on this full review, instructor Mei Linlin anchored Phase IV work in “specialized improvements + deep extension,” shifting from single-point optimization to end-to-end leanness and from pilot replication to systematic rollout, so lean thinking will seep into every production detail. Outstanding model-zone teams from Phase III were also recognized on the spot to fuel company-wide lean enthusiasm.

Liu Gufeng, the group’s executive vice-president, stressed three imperatives: first, “run the full course” with Phase-III gains to ensure zero deviation in implementation; second, “shoulder” Phase-IV targets—the Lean Promotion Office will track digital-pilot progress monthly and remove roadblocks in real time; and third, “pass the baton” of lean culture through activities such as “excellent-team” selection and model-zone tours, making “continuous improvement” a daily habit for every BanChao employee.

From a deep dive into Phase-III achievements to a crystal-clear blueprint for Phase IV, from honoring role models to rolling out a long-term strategy, the meeting served as both a retrospective on past lean practice and a launch ceremony for the next leg of the journey. BanChao Group will use this gathering as a new starting point, continually empowering production with lean principles and driving performance through management, so that the lean dividends of “lower cost, higher efficiency, better quality” become a core competitive edge and a solid foundation for high-quality growth.
