In May this year, the list of "National AAAA-level Standardized Good Behavior Enterprises" was released, and Sany successfully passed the confirmation with a total score of 474 points (out of 500 points). This post-80s private enterprise, in just over 20 years, has risen to become a world-renowned construction machinery manufacturer, and "standardization" has become one of the important secrets of its success.

"Within one year, the standardization of the enterprise has reached the AAAA level; The three-year standard coverage rate reached 100%; The main products adopt international standards or foreign standards" - this is a beautiful blueprint developed by Sany for itself. Around this blueprint, they have established an "enterprise standard system" composed of 5,236 standards, including 4,105 technical standards, 729 management standards, and 402 work standards, which run through the whole process of product production.

Through standardized means, Sany implements modular design, while ensuring the versatility of products, it provides diversified configurations to meet personalized needs, respond to market changes in a timely manner, shorten product design cycles, and reduce development costs. Sany has applied the idea of modularity to:Pump trucksseries development, obtained good benefits. For example, the finalized 46m pump truck module is derived from the 43m pump truck design, and the time from the scheme to the construction drawing design has been reduced from at least 3 months to 1 month now; The number of boom parts has also been reduced by more than 50%.

In view of the increasing variety of product parts and components and the increasing scale of material procurement, they have created an innovative platform for standardized management. The platform uses informatization as a means to introduce the concept of part health value, and provides data for the group's preferred material standards through the tracking, statistics and analysis of parts and components. Provide accurate, standardized, and new preferred parts and general parts information for technicians, business personnel and management personnel, improve the standardization of product design and the reuse of parts, and reduce unnecessary material waste and sluggish material inventory. Through the application of the platform, the survival of the fittest of parts and components has been realized, the procurement batch has increased significantly, and the procurement cost has been reduced; In the development and design of new products, the direct correlation between parts and products and related standards has been realized, and the development efficiency of new products has been improved. At present, the company has 66 categories of materials through the integration of standardization principles to reduce more than 20,000 varieties and specifications, reducing procurement costs of about 30,000 yuan; If the cost of each material is reduced by about 3,000 yuan in the process of value creation chain activities such as R&D, business, logistics, production, quality, and service, the management cost will be reduced by about 60 million yuan.

"Top 500 Chinese Enterprises", "Top Enterprise in Comprehensive Benefits and Competitiveness in Construction Machinery Industry", "China's Top Enterprise" by Forbes...... Behind the three kinds of honors, standardization work is not only the foundation, but also the pillar of the building. Sany people believe that the survival, development and growth of enterprises are closely related to standardization work, and only by fully applying standardized means and enhancing the core competitiveness of enterprises can they be invincible in strong market competition.
