As a benchmark enterprise of the Chlor-Alkali Business Division, Sinochem Dongda launched its Operational Excellence initiative on March 8, 2024, kicking off a journey of self-improvement focused on systematic reform, full-chain efficiency enhancement and in-depth empowerment. Over the subsequent 20 months, the company systematically rolled out 15 management modules. Through consistent advancement, it achieved remarkable improvements across multiple dimensions, including mindset cultivation, capability building, process optimization and value creation.

The Chlor-Alkali Business Division attached great importance to the project. Relevant leaders including Zhu Bin, Secretary of the Party Committee and President of the Division, conducted in-depth research and guidance on multiple occasions to coordinate and advance the implementation of the initiative. Sinochem Dongda established a special leading group for promotion. With the support of the Honeywell consulting team, the company fully implemented the management requirements for Operational Excellence, strengthened system construction and top-level design, coordinated resource allocation, and precisely controlled the pace of advancement.
